Rob, This above Duramax is in Portland, OR

Seller bought this truck from Original (old man) in Florida at 50K miles and pulled a loaded trailer out to West Coast..truck now has 56K miles

Here's his story !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


"Hi Chuck, I towed a 40' 2 car hauler from Ga. loaded with 2 cargo trailers a 20' and a 16' had motorcycles in one and misc. in the other a total weight of 11,200. Tow rating for this truck is 12,950. Pulled with ease, no problems. I averaged 14 to16 mpg towing (he made side trip to N.C. before picking up trailers in GA) and 22 to 25mpg truck only, this truck has never been abused, not used as a work truck and was stored inside when not in use"

I still would like long bed, but probably could live with short................

I have a 2005 Duramax Crew Cab shortbox and I dont get near the mileage that guy gets. He must only drive 55-60 on the freeway. I get 15-17 around town and 17-18 on the highway at 75 mph. I hear all thes4e stories about great fuel mileage and all I have seen since I bought this thing new was maybe that I am getting 2 mile per gallon better than a gas truck! It pulls great, but I dont pull alot of stuff. I must have a lemon. Maybe I should letter up my truck
