"Just Pod-ding Thru!" with our R189 floating behind our 2015 GMC...
...so far, so good! Fuel consumption dropped from 22-23mpg down to only 15-16mpg!ππΌ

Well, that being said! Got an option to trade our 2015 GMC 1500 for a 2018 GMC 2500HD Denali. Big mistake, new truck has plenty of pulling power, but is lousy on fuel consumption!π
Best I can squeeze out of her towing (so far) is 11 mpg? Should have stuck with the 2015 GMC with the "Active Fuel Management" feature! π |

I was at the Chevrolet dealer yesterday to have my shark fin antenna sealed and I questioned the service advisor about the cost of servicing the DuraMax in a 3/4 ton. He proceeded to talk me out of it. Said with the cost of servicing the engine and transmission along with using the Def fluid it would be silly to upgrade my 1/2 ton Silverado unless I was pulling something a lot larger and really needed the power. My 1/2 ton gets about 14.5 pulling the trailer over the highway and a lot more without trailer. Guess I'll wait.

Wise decision!ππΌ The trade in deal I got for our high mileage, 1500 GMC Sierra,Was too good to pass up! But I hate we lost the excellent fuel mileage (23 mpg Hwy & 15.8 City or towing) down to 15 Hwy & 11 towingπ
Oh well,"live & learn" |

IMO, almost any of the half-ton pickups are more than good enough to pull any R-pod. Sure, you can go to a 3/4 ton, but only if you have other tasks that are bigger than an R-pod. In the mean time, enjoy the smoother ride, and the better (generally) gas mileage.
