Nice video. I tow with a Ecoboost. 24ft trailer with 2 RZRs on it. I got 9.7 miles per gallon. Towing from Alabama to Tackett Creek last week. Running about 75. I happy with it.
Great comparison video fellas! It's crazy how efficient and capable these newer half tons are now. I have a 2012 F-150 with the 3.5 ecoboost and it tows 11,300 lbs. Unless I buy another big toy hauler, a heavy duty gasser will be all the truck I'll ever own.
I agree they are, for what I'd be doing even the heaviest loads which isn't that heavy in the scheme of things a half ton is all I'd need for personal use and daily driving.
Great video lots of good information you can only get with having both vehicles available to you which most of us don’t, I’ve enjoyed your family added content
I know that y’all’s new set ups is gassers but something to look into if you go back to diesels is the mud flap app. Our group used it to go to Lake City, CO from Missouri where we averaged 4.60 with the app for diesel compared the average pump price of 5.75 to 6 dollars a gallon at that time. It saved us quit a bit of money on a 2400 mile trip.
Thank u guys for doing this video, I sold my 2019 F250 because of Ca emissions and it never got more that 14mpg I bought a 2021 Silverado 5.3 8speed and gotta say.. The ride is so much better, the cab has the same room as the f250 and towing is so close to the Desiel,, of course past 10k the Desiel will shine but unless u have a 5 th wheel or tow for living, the gas truck is the way to go..🤘🏻
I do the same run as you from Janesville to some private land down from El Ray's. I switched from gas to diesel just because it was a giant pia to get into the gas pumps with a big trailer. Fleet card is so handy.
Here is some 1/2 ton truck towing information for you. The truck is a 2019 RAM quad cab, Laramie, 5.7 liter Hemi, 4X4 with three adults riding on 37” tires. We towed a 11k pound 36’ bumper pull RV from Dallas, TX to Lake Powell, Arizona (Pace, AZ) then to the south rim of the Grand Canyon and back 2,400 miles round trip. It was summer and 110 degrees most of the trip. We towed it at 70-75 mph, the truck lived at 3,000 RPM’s and in some of the mountains it was holding 4,000 RPM’s up long hills. The truck did great, not skipping a beat. We changed the oil before and after the trip, and ran premium fuel. I limited the gear shifts to keep it from changing gears all the time. The transmission, oil, and coolant temps all rose during the long mountain hill climbs but remained within the acceptable limits. We for sure pushed the truck but it did great and still going strong today. Our MPG were upper 8’s. I can’t say enough good things about that truck. We were maxed out on tow rating and I am sure several hundred pounds over payload.
@@404Trucking I was too. Considering it was 110 degrees outside. The truck is still going strong today. My son just got back from a three hour trip to Oklahoma with his buddy in it. It has just over 60k miles we haven’t had a problem with it yet. It’s been a great truck.
I just traded my '21 GMC 1500 mini Duramax (that towed great) on an All Electric F150 lightning and it tows Even Better! For short trips, yes range is limited, but works awesome in Montana where trails are super close to home.
I’ve been driving 15 hours one way to WV in a 2019 F150 w/ 8.5k. I’m averaging around 10 mpg. Tows great, doesn’t sway. Im going to use a weight distribution hitch next trip just to distribute weight to the front. I’m eating tires in the rears.
Nice comparison! I tow 2 machines on my 22' tilt deck equipment trailer (about 9000# total) with my fully built 07 2500HD LBZ Duramax and it's lucky to see over 11mpg from Ohio to WV/KY/TN. My 04 1500 5.3 gets about 7-8mpg towing the same setup hating life with the 4l60e
Great review guys!! My 19 TB LT with the 5.3 (only engine available in a Trail Boss in 19....)tows awesome for a half ton. As butt hurt i am as it not being a 6.2, never once while towing have i felt i needed more power. 8 speed grade braking is impressive. Yes no diesel, but i aint racing while im towing.. Chassis stability on the new truck is also worlds better than my 08 silverado i got 14 mpg hauling a 5000lb boat for 8hrs; literally didnt know it was there while cruising
Looks like the new Silverado tows a lot better than previous generations! No way I’d even consider hauling that load on that route with say an 11 Silverado 1/2 ton. Your right, if your only going to tow an open trailer once a month to go riding, I’d probably rather tolerate the lesser power but have all the options and a good daily driver.
I have the exact same model Silverado in a 22 Limited LTZ. It’s a great daily but a highly average tow rig imo. Really prefer the ecoboosts in gassers. We’ve owned a 17 Expedition with 3.5 and a 16 F150 with the 2.7. Both towed better than the Silverado but I love the looks and ride of my Chevy. They all have their strengths and weaknesses for sure. 👍👍
Being a GM lover, I was glad to hear how well the Chevy did against the bigger Ford diesel. I have a 2020 GMC 3/4 with the Duramax and Allison. I often spend well over $100.00 to fill the tank. That's crazy and make no sense at all.
My 18 5.3 Silverado gets between 8-10 mpg from close to the Illinois border in Indiana up to Silver lake in Michigan with 2 yxz's on a heavy open trailer. The wind really either helps or kills the mileage. The other thing we've noticed is the mileage is so much better if the speed is kept to 65. The minute I start bumping it up over 70 it goes to shit. It's only a 3hr drive for us so being in a big hurry just doesn't pay.
My 2011 Silverado drops in mileage at 70 mph too.... But at 85, I get 22 mpg unloaded, compared to 18 at 65 mph. 4.56 gears are in my truck's near future.
I towed my 32 ft camper with mine 640 miles. I ran about 75 most of the way averaged 10 mpg. I probably would have done better with a fresh fuel filter. Other than that I was happy with the way it towed. Campers about 6k
The 6.2 pulls even better and actually gets better mileage than the 5.3 GM gave it a bigger stroke and made the gasser 6.6 with it for their 3/4 ton and 1 ton gasser trucks. Don't sleep on the 6.2, it's an amazing engine.
Now that gm started putting the Allison transmission back in the 2024 gas HD trucks. I wouldn't mind considering a gas truck now. They havnt had Allison transmissions in the gas trucks since the 01-06 8.1 big block days
I have a Ram dually 4x4 Crew cab with a 6.7 Cummins deleted with 3:73 gears and when empty I get around 18-20mpg @ 80-85 mph and around 14-17mpg towing my 40’ gooseneck trailer loaded with 28 rolls of hay @ 65mph Granted my has a very small programmer that is designed for towing vehicles that only increases the HP 75 in the towing setup
I went form a 3/4 ton Cummins to a half ton ford. I was coming back from a sled trip in Montana . Lost my trailer breaks on a steep mountain pass in British Columbia . That trailer pushed me around and into the ditch . I didn’t have a chance. With the sleds and gear it was around 6500 lbs total . A heavier truck would have handled it better. Doesn’t have to be a diesel but 3/4 ton for me from now on. It’s the perfect size truck for my use. Half ton towing ratings are for optimal conditions. That’s just been my experience .
Fyi i have that 8 speed tranny with the 6.2L in my 2015 chevy. Had tranny replaced at 16k under warranty. Have about 67k on it now but around the 40k mile mark on the tranny i was getting this weird vibration around 40-70 mph. Had something to do with the tranny fluid from what chevy dealer told me. I had the tranny fluid changed, and new filter. They have revised tranny oil for them 8 speeds, and it worked. Thought they were full of it but I havent had the vibration like i was. Two dealerships wanted to charge me for figuring out what was wrong, or to do a full flush $800. Went to Attica IN chevy dealership (by the badlands) charged me like 375 or so.
Awesome video. Iv been saying there really isn’t much benefit having a diesel anymore since new gasses tow so we’ll and fuel is much cheaper. Diesel is high maintenance as well. Iv had my diesel 250 for 10 years now and contemplate buying a f150 all the time. Great video and your daughters reaction to bucee was awesome!
I used to haul a lot with a 2002 Silverado 1500. Basic bolt ons, 6 inch lift, and 2500hd rear springs. The heaviest I hauled was 14k, and it wasn't that bad till we hit dirt roads.
Good video. If I’m going to be towing 10K regularly the half ton is getting sold for at least a 3/4 gasser. If it’s only here and there fine.. Your setup looked good towing that though all things considered.
I have a 2018 Silverado crew cab 1500 6 speed trans and I pull a 16 aluminum trailer with my 2019 rzr xp1000 and don’t know it’s behind me towing from Columbia SC to Windrock. I-40 big grades.
Iv been on the fence about selling the deisel for a half ton with max tow. My enclosed is 8500lbs loaded, but its a big wind sail. I think it would be right on the brink of half ton towable
I drive a 2020 trail boss and pull a double rig all the time it does great fuel tank size could be bigger but oh well lol. The 10 speed transmission in mine makes a big difference
Toy story playing in the background 🤣 love it! Glad to see the Chevy doing good. Honestly I hate my Ram1500 for towing through the hills plenty of power and brakes and mpg not too bad however the Transmission and 3.21 gears sucks and overheats on long trips
I have a 19 trail boss with a 6 speed and I must say it doesn’t tow very good. I live in Alberta but I’m from Kansas and drive back and forth once a year I’m average. Montana and Wyoming have some serious climbs at high altitude and it absolutely dies just pulling my Harley on my trailer. I want to take my sxs but don’t want kill my truck and not sure in some places a can make it from one fuel station to another.
A Reese Dual Cam hitch would make a huge difference for you towing that setup when it comes to sway. A 6.4 or 6.6 would make on ramps a little better. The only thing your missing from a bigger truck is stopping power. A 2500 size would not even blink with that load. Diesel is not what it used to be since they put in the smog and DEF equipment in them. They are good if you tow heavy regularly, but your setup is fine for that load for a weekend warrior. Unless I had a 40ft 5th wheel or huge wedge with 8 or more machines, I would stick with gas with a long bed with a 50 gallon tank.
Diesel most definitely is what it used to be. I understand the emissions stuff sucks but the power is way different while pulling a hill. Not to mention the exhaust breaks are a game changer.
Man, I just sold my 2022 eco diesel ram which towed pretty good but my toy hauler is 32 FT and weighs about 11.5k. It was just too much for it. It was squishy and got moved around by the trailer quite a bit. Bought a 2500 Sierra, tows much better for the weight. I also feel much safer, duramax gets about 10MPG, eco diesel got about 7.
really dont have much to do with the year after the ls trucks, i personally have and continue to buy pre 06 because they have better transmissions you never have to mess with. its the 1500 chev from this year is the best mileage and reliability and you can get 4 wheel rotors is what matters that and the airbags is the best all around towing setup for dual daily driver the 2500 and up are terrible ride and not neccecarry have had thee now going back to the tbi 1500 hualing big campers everywhere they do great and good milage all the time 20+ unloaded and 10-12 huling the 30 trailer and 16 enclosed and two quads, with the 5.3 , used to get two more on everything tbi 350/5spd
The difference are heavier truck handling weight better and better fuel efficiency due to diesels having more torque. Biggest thing is stopping bigger truck stops better. Bottom line an average everyday dad hauling a camper or boat or sxs and maybe a skid steer or mini ex 2 times a year a half ton will be just fine.
I love the 7.3 first gasser not screaming trying to maintain 75mph. If you get one make sure you go 4.30 gears I couldn't find one but 3.55 does fine. My bumper is rated at 18.2k that's enough for my needs. Check the receiver before you buy some have 15k stamped some 18.2k ford charts are wrong depending on options and recivers they put on. And it burns gas but doesn't cost as much as a diesel to fill up, it's really the better option at current fuel prices (3.12 vs 5.29 per gallon)!
know a bunch of people that haul campers all the time with twice the weight and wind drag , and none have any issues even the ten bolt everyone conplains about, if you dont drive stupid it will last than the other two brands for sure, never have to work in any of them hundreds of thousands of miles on most

Hi great video what manufacture is that trailer ? Thanks chris.
I wonder how that 3.0 gm diesel would do towing that set up. That's the truck I'm interested in.
I towed my 32 ft camper with mine 640 miles. I ran about 75 most of the way averaged 10 mpg. I probably would have done better with a fresh fuel filter. Other than that I was happy with the way it towed. Campers about 6k
Man unjust boost my confidence with my 2019 and 23 foot mega ramp car hauler I’m breaking into hotshot business in the morning lol I’m serious
I love the Toy Story playing in the back ground; my grant daughter loves that video too.
@blown budget offroad what size wheels and tires is that your running on the Silverado?
Awesome video by my friend, I'm a new subscriber on your channel I found it the other day on UA-cam 👍😎
The 6.2 pulls even better and actually gets better mileage than the 5.3

what is your GVW for that truck? is that load legal to haul ?
What’s the Chevy lift and wheels setup you running
What axel ratio do you have in the Silverado?
I have a Ram dually 4x4 Crew cab with a 6.7 Cummins deleted with 3:73 gears and when empty I get around 18-20mpg @ 80-85 mph and around 14-17mpg towing my 40’ gooseneck trailer loaded with 28 rolls of hay @ 65mph Granted my has a very small programmer that is designed for towing vehicles that only increases the HP 75 in the towing setup
I’m curious how my Suburban Z71 will tow. I think it will be surprisingly well.
Pretty fair comparison nice job!

@@olafvaldez1905 it wasn't all that bad for not having trailer brakes.
What’s the info on the trailer ?
2021 Chevy 2500HD Custom with the 6.6 Gas engine.......tows great........regular 87 octane.....dependable toy hauler! Great engine breaking too.
What kind of trailer is that? Name model
I go to wisc a couple times a year I am from from waukesha , I go to rockford and south to hwy 24 over to nashville way less stress.
Is Josh’s truck deleted to get 23mpg? I have the same truck and get 16👎🏽
Good video. If I’m going to be towing 10K regularly the half ton is getting sold for at least a 3/4 gasser. If it’s only here and there fine.. Your setup looked good towing that though all things considered.
You should be using a weight distributing hitch.
Whats your ball mount rated for?
I have a 2018 Silverado crew cab 1500 6 speed trans and I pull a 16 aluminum trailer with my 2019 rzr xp1000 and don’t know it’s behind me towing from Columbia SC to Windrock. I-40 big grades.
Iv been on the fence about selling the deisel for a half ton with max tow. My enclosed is 8500lbs loaded, but its a big wind sail. I think it would be right on the brink of half ton towable
From what iv heard, the problem with the half tons and big enclosed is stability not power or brakes
the major difference would be longevity on parts. diesel trucks have heavier duty parts so they last longer.
I drive a 2020 trail boss and pull a double rig all the time it does great fuel tank size could be bigger but oh well lol. The 10 speed transmission in mine makes a big difference
Now we just need the windrock video 😂😂
Yeah yeah gotta give me a bit for those lol
@@BlownBudgetOffroad I figured. A lot of editing for sure.
Man I love that truck I have a 2022 coustom and love it its a 6.6
What's the Chevy's rear gears?
I can dig that looks good
Great video yall
My grandparents towed a 40 foot RV to all 50 states with a station wagon. I don't know why people think they need a 350 or 3500 to tow 10000 lbs.
Thank you for sharing
😎🇺🇲🙏
Why does your speedometer show 200mph? 😳
Toy story playing in the background 🤣 love it! Glad to see the Chevy doing good. Honestly I hate my Ram1500 for towing through the hills plenty of power and brakes and mpg not too bad however the Transmission and 3.21 gears sucks and overheats on long trips
Does the Chevy have cylinder deactivation? Like the videos👍
I have the same truck. Why does my sticker say 9300 max towing
whos the dude in the passager seat?
I have a 19 trail boss with a 6 speed and I must say it doesn’t tow very good. I live in Alberta but I’m from Kansas and drive back and forth once a year I’m average.

Bottom line an average everyday dad hauling a camper or boat or sxs and maybe a skid steer or mini ex 2 times a year a half ton will be just fine.
It’s crossed my mind to trade my 2020 6.7 in for the 7.3.
I love the 7.3 first gasser not screaming trying to maintain 75mph. If you get one make sure you go 4.30 gears I couldn't find one but 3.55 does fine. My bumper is rated at 18.2k that's enough for my needs. Check the receiver before you buy some have 15k stamped some 18.2k ford charts are wrong depending on options and recivers they put on. And it burns gas but doesn't cost as much as a diesel to fill up, it's really the better option at current fuel prices (3.12 vs 5.29 per gallon)!
How about the new powerboost?
Rated up to 200 mph?!? I have not been in anything newer than 2010
I wanna talk to you bro
Full aluminum trailer that gasser would be even better
My 2012 Silverado with 5.3 would not like that lol. It would do it but not like it.
know a bunch of people that haul campers all the time with twice the weight and wind drag , and none have any issues even the ten bolt everyone conplains about, if you dont drive stupid it will last than the other two brands for sure, never have to work in any of them hundreds of thousands of miles on most
Aleigha doesn't seem to enthusiastic about your towing.
Just running ethanol free gasoline should give you better mileage alone. Ethanol sucks!
GM gas can barely pull themselves 😢😢😢
You should show them how to pull yourself
Good video, but kinda unfair a half ton vs an f350. lol
That the gas or diesel 1500?
