Thumbs up New tow toy. 2012 GMC 2500HD Denali Diesel.

last month I sold off my 04 chevy 2500 Diesel. I just got the right money for a 9 year old truck and cash always wins lol I picked this bad boy up last week and already have made a trip to MA and back overnight. Towed my 18ft open car trailer. got 17mpg going up and 15mpg coming back with a car on the trailer. 29 Gallon fuel tank is AWESOME!!! one tank up, one tank back. and over 700lbs of tq is amazing. cruise control at 70mph pulling 5K lbs and my truck couldnt care less lol I love the heated and air conditioning seats, heated steering wheel, factory navi with reverse camera, sunroof. it drives like a car. its quiet and looks bad ***.

I am sure the big tires on your old truck killed your MPG. My 02 Dmax got 17mpg towing my 18 ft open trailer and car down and back to OC last fall

Yup. it was horrible. 22in rims. 37in tires. 6in suspension lift. it just all spelled BAD FUEL MILEAGE lol. never going back to that. I love this truck exactly how it sits. except for the exhaust fluid crap

dream truck right there. ccsb . You should look for an hs tuner now , some places still have them that are now illegal . The epa went after them big time .

Nice right . Id like to hear you do some mods to it and then do over 20 on the highway with it .

ya I read all about that. there is a guy on the forums that has a brand new HS tuner plus full TBE for $1500. I should prob grab it. but also dont want to void my warranty right away.

Nice truck. I did H&S tune, EGR delete and open exhaust on my 08 Dodge dually. Made a big difference.

Love the rig, was going to get one myself but my work commute is only 3miles so afraid I'd kill the thing?

Went the 1500 route instead.
