[QUOTE="whiskeymakin, post: 463220, member: 460"] [b]Re: Tow Rig Delimma[/b] A 6.0 will work fine, the one I had just pissed me off cause mileage sucked and didn't pull any better than a 5.3. It handled it better just because it's a more heavy duty truck. I figured if I got crap mileage I might as well have the big block. And tell you the truth mileage is not that much different between the two. The problem, like you said, can't find a 8.1 is true. I was at the parts store looking up a oil filter and saw that only 20% of the 2500 trucks had the 8.1 , so the odds of finding a loaded or non long bed that has been hooked to a 5th wheel camper for life is slim to none. If you don't use 4x4 much in your tow rig, I think there are a few more 2x4 8.1 trucks out there, but most are long bed from what I've seen [/QUOTE]
