How do you like the Eco-diesel? To me they drive like big cars, your thoughts.....

I've never loved a vehicle like I do this one! Hands down awesome!

And, pulling the boat hard....I'm still getting nearly 20mpg.

How many pounds can it pull?

Jim, mine will pull 8370 with the 5.7 Hemi and 8spd automatic. My RV and boat weigh around 6500, so I'm in good shape.

Thanks! We picked up an rv that we will park at a campground for now, but it's like 8500 pounds and I drive a 2008 Silverado with the 5.3. I don't think it will cut it. I need to keep that in mind for the future.

Not sure if you're asking me or Steve...but for EcoDiesel.....

Mine will pull 8,850 lbs with 240 HP and 420 lb-ft torque.

Jim, you may need to go with a 2500 or a 1500 with the biggest diesel you can get. You need something in the range of 11,000- 13,000 tow cap. I believe the best weight/cap ratio is in the 75-80% range. Less stress on the vehicle than if you were towing 8500 with an 8800 cap. JMO

Here's how we are rolling these days. So if you see this rig rolling down the highway, give us a wave.
