I replaced a GMC 2500 gas with a Chevy K2500HD crew cab diesel this past year. I love the new truck. I had the extended cab before but I like the crew cab even better. It has the HD diesel that puts out a lot of torque. It also has the Allison 6 Speed. It tows so much better than the gas truck it replaced that it is not even a fair comparison. It is also very quiet. When at a stop light, I can hear other brands of diesel trucks idling over the normal sound of my engine. It is definitely the quietest diesel that I have heard. I have put 15K miles on this truck since 2006.

I average about 16 MPG when driving to work. I averaged 9 MPG for a short trailer tow without much highway. The towed weight was about 13K.
