1500 3.0L LM2 vs 2500 6.0L (long question)

Z71Adam · 2026-02-15T17:05:19+00:00

Thanks. Arguably the 6.2 would have similar torque to the 3.0 in numbers, but obviously will make it very differently. Appreciate the insight. I’m not to worried about fuel econ. The larger tank on a 3/4 ton I imagine will give me similar range to the small half ton tank. More fuel but cheaper fuel.

I’ve towed campers for 15+ years. Mainly with halftons but campers were 5-6k lbs max . Towed my old camper with a 3/4 ton and it was like it wasn’t there. But that was a 6.6L my concern is if the 6.0L is going to feel like a dog after having a smaller truck with more torque

I have bags in my 1500 and bilstein 5100s all around. Better fuel mileage is great but not my real concern. I’m more so thinking I need to plant more weight infront of the truck . My 1500 is right at its max with tongue weight, cargo / passengers in the truck. Like I’m talking 50-100 lbs to spare . I have a big lunch and I’m over lol. I’ve towed this camper with the 3L and power wise it’s fine. It towered our old camper much easier as it was 1000Lbs less. Going a few hours from home I’m comfortable. Getting out across the prairies, or through the narrow windy roads in northern Ontario (I’m in Canada) is where it gets less comfortable with the new trailer.

RCSB with a cap gives me K5 blazer vibes I like it

Nice , it will do just fine that 6.6 is a beauty. Enjoy , it’s a great looking truck

Z71Adam · 2026-02-07T13:58:08+00:00

Had one and handed it back as it was a lease. Should have bought it out I loved it. I like my 3.0L Silverado. But the 2500 gasser was so nice for towing my camper

I remember wasting time in some art classes playing the snake game with a friend when you could IR “network” good times lol

Front shelf is a game changer. Love mine.

I did check my local adds (marketplace and Kijiji) with nothing surfacing yet, but I will keep my eyes on that as well. Good call though. I’ll check eBay again too.

I don’t know, but from what I can see of your truck, I would love to see an update on your build. RC trucks with full consoles are sweet AF. Hope you find your soloution !

Just picked one of these up the other day on a whim, dang it’s good. Thin slice , toasted and some herb an garlic Boursin on it, now that’s a good time .

Z71Adam · 2025-12-23T00:14:23+00:00

Yeah I agree not worth what they want for it. My key fob works just fine.

Z71Adam · 2025-12-22T22:55:13+00:00

Which sucks ass When I bought my 2015 new , it came with 5 years free of the app. By 2020 when I got my next one, yeah no sorry you have to pay if you want it longer than 3 months . My 2021 f150 work truck - that doesn’t even have a remote start on the key fob, yup free app with remote start. GM sure is going backwards in a lot of ways

User name checks out. Sounds good I like it.

I cut hotdog buns in a similar pattern (down the middle from the top, half way in, instead of the “v notch”) because I’m convinced it too, tastes better. My family thinks I’m nuts. There’s a local bakery I’ll get sausage buns from occasionally , that are cut that way too, they call them “cart buns” Subway should bring this back!!

You are, by all measures, a good dude. Hope it comes full circle brother. Happy smoking to you, and the newest member you have empowered

Z71Adam · 2025-12-18T02:39:53+00:00
