FWIW ...... I tow same trailer /wt ...... if you want to tow 70mph for long distances the 6.2 should do it easy at 2000rpm you want the smallest amount of throttle % to get the best mileage at a given speed / rpm ...........play witha gear ratio calculator to see what rear gear you can do that with you may find towing in 5th with the 3.42 is better than towing in 6th with the 3.73 ........pick your tow mph and see what gear/ final drive ratio tows best ........... mine tows best in 5th with 4.11's my 5.3 needs to be at 2200 -2500 to get best mileage but not a 6.2

And yes those two wheel sizes from GM are same height ..not an issue

 

thanks guys, i extended my search to include crew cabs and found the color i wanted (toupe gray meatalic) and ended up settling on the max towing package with 3.73s. should get it tomorrow or wed

 

nice. looking forward to pics.

 

damn! at this rate PT.Net will have to open a specific 6.2L section!!

Were taking over!!

 

Hooah!

 

got the truck last night ill have to get pics up after work, still not sold on the looks of a crew cab, i liked my extended, but once i get some wheels it should look good

 

Well the trans has gone out on this thing before I even put 50 miles on it.

 

How the hell did that happen? Since its been only a day I would tell them to keep it!
That's scary.

 

WTF man, keep us posted.

As its a mote point now that you picked up a truck, but the reason why they why they don't put 20in rims on the Max trailering package is cause the suspension is specifically tuned for them (Thats the answers i got my GM themselfs).

The Texas edition with the 20's and 6.2 has a Bigger sway bar/different shocks and apperently their "High peformance suspension" to accomdate the additional weight/size with the 20in wheels

 

WOW. That's messed up. I have abused mine from the minute I pulled it off the lot.

In for more updates. sorry to hear man
