I currently have a 2019 GMC 2500 gasser. I have never been in love with the truck. After all, it is just a truck. Its leveled with wheels and tires. Tires are stock diameter but a little wider. This truck has the 6.0. I am disappointed with the power and obviously with the fuel milage. I just clicked 56,000 miles and over that time has averaged 11.5 according to the computer. If I average fuel at $4 per gallon, I have spent $20k on fuel. The diesel upgrade I think is $10k. If the diesel gets double the economy I would be even at this point. So that brings me to my current question. What are the real world numbers on new diesel trucks? I am a die hard GM guy but the new GM trucks do not excite me too much visually. The ford looks good but I have done so much ford bashing that I don't know that I can do it. Might be able to pull off a dodge?? My BIL has a 2021 Ford and is getting great numbers. Does anyone have any true numbers they can share? I do a fair amount of driving and towing but no giant boats or trailers at this time. Thanks in advance for taking time to share.
