My 24 3500 HC Duramax has 11,000 miles on it and I tow a few days per week, so each tank of fuel has a mix of highway, towing and city driving. According to my Fuelly, my best MPG tracked was 18.5 which was zero towing. My weekly mix of towing and not towing, I get around 12.9 MPG on average.

For comparison, my 22 Ram 3500 Cumming 68rfe which was leveled on 35s, did about exactly the same, having tracked those numbers as well. Keep in mind the Ram was the same numbers as the chevy, but the ram was leveled on 35s. Stock it would have beaten the Chevy.

I tracked 951.655 gallons of fuel used in 16,809 miles in a 2013 2500 Duramax HD. Stock tune = 16.931 mpg, Calculated Industries race tune = 16.98 mpg, Hot Street tune = 17.73 mpg, Heavy tow tune (approximately 5 tons) 11.53 mpg. I got the best milage with the light tow tune, 18.053 mpg. My driving is 70% highway, 20% rural and the balance city. I always add diesel kleen during every fill up. For the most enjoyable driving experience I use the Hot Street tune exclusively now, unless towing, am approaching 200,000 thousand and running well, I purchased the truck brand new.

Really curious about gas with the 10 speed - never thought I'd want a gasser hd, but that combo is appealing to me (simplicity, expect lower cost to own, and powerful enough for 11k pound trailer a few times a year).

I have had one over 29 years and actually pull heavy loads with them and never once worried about fuel mileage as I need the truck to do what it does, fuel is just part of what it takes to get the work done.

I agree. If I'm spending all this money on a truck I don't really care about the fuel consumption. It's a big truck so of course I expect to spend a lot on gas. The difference between brands is minimal anyway so I wouldn't consider it a factor in my purchasing decision.

Money is a secondary consideration, but mileage and fuel capacity determine range, as you know, which is important to me in the vast emptiness of Nevada where fuel can be hard to find.

And also it’s worth mentioning you could spec an LT truck with leather buckets and get the same interior with most of the features for about $8-10,000 less money (US dollars). As far as the interior goes you’d be losing cooled seats, memory seats, power extend mirrors, HUD option and heated rear seats. On the exterior you’re only losing LED headlights and a little bit of chrome trim. Beautiful truck though and for the money vs what you get, the competition can’t touch it in price.

Towing differences between them how does a load feel back there. Yes “no problem for the 3500” but is it worth that for the gas mileage and suspension and overall size. Daily living with them, it’s all fun and games until you have to find parking. Maintenace cost differences/cost to own and operate. Let’s be honest most people aren’t stressing these trucks that often is that value or are cost so similar that you should just go bigger just in case. Are cabs roomier? Is it harder to steer/operate?
