Few hills, light traffic, no passing, it was a nice steady drive ... a tad slower off the line ... but I barely knew i was pulling a load ,,,, WOW !! no strain, no engine screaming , no dropping gears to help ..... i'm sold on a diesel 3L Duramax ya got me sold . ~~~The guy in this Great Video is almost as I was talking to my Wife ......

Just towed an 8,000lb boat from Lake Charles to Birmingham with my 2020 3.0L diesel, Denali crew 4x4, high wind, storming/raining averaged 15 mpg over 550 miles at about 68 mph. Towed amazingly well. Does consume more DEF during heavy towing. Super QUIET, wife even said its quieter than my old 6.2L. Overall for 1/2 ton and comfort of Denali, outstanding A+. If you ever drive one of these 3.0L duramax you’ll be convinced and will never go back to gas. This is the power of the 3/4 ton pickup 10 years ago with the quiet and comfort of a 1/2 ton.

I'm glad he discusses the importance of aerodynamics and wind on mpg. These factors are usually not addressed. We stick larger tires and lift kits on these trucks and then lament that they don't get the mpg advertised. In North Dakota here, the wind blows 10+ mph daily. Often 20+ mph. The way I see it, you have a 1 in 4 chance of having some element of tail wind. In every pickup I have owned, every semi I have driven, especially when towing, wind, or lack thereof can make as much as a 50% impact on mpg. I know that seem like a large number. But, if I am pulling a loaded enclosed trailer at say 6000lbs with any sort of tail wind, I may get 13 mpg with my 2006 Dodge Cummins. With a 30 mph head wind or cross wind, I may get 8 mpg. Of course the driving speed, with or without a trailer, with or without any wind makes a huge difference as well. Especially much above 60ish mph.

I don’t either because I use your so called common sense. My current truck and my last on were rust free. BUT, if gm used the right materials on our trucks we wouldn’t constantly be spraying our panels with some kind of rust proofing spray or lubricant. Also the crappy wax coating on the frame as well. Don’t tell me you don’t have a rust free frame too. I posted an opinion. If your truck is an 02 and COMPLETELY RUST FREE, maybe you should make a video for the people who don’t have your so called common sense.

Does anyone have an explanation why GMC/Chevy only allow the 3.23 rear axle ratio with the 3.0 L engine and not the 3.42? I know that GMC paired their 2016 Canyon 4cyl Diesel to have the 3.42 rear axle. This does not make sense to me why a smaller, 1/4 ton, truck with only 4 cyl has the rear axle better suited for towing and not the larger, 1/2 ton, truck to have the 3.42 rear axle. Any thoughts?

How to see the economy on that diesel? My math for 100k miles Diesel avg mpg 25 need 4000 gallons x $4,63 = $18,520 plus def 400 and more expensive maintenance Gas avg mpg 18 need 5,555 gallons x $3,47 = $19,277 So its almost same amount for 100k miles. Where im wrong?

@@Psalm146-2 not if I'm keeping it for a long time. The cost of changing that oil pump belt, high pressure fuel pump or anything associated with the timing system is going to be an arm and a leg on labor. Short term, yeah I'd get one but putting that stuff on the back of the engine where you cant access it without pulling the transmission is ridiculous and just because I can afford it does t mean I should have to spend that kind of money. I cant wrap my head around that logic either. And so what if they say be pil pump belt is good for 150k, if those timing belt guide rails fail (which they do) or the high pressure fuel pump fails, before or after that's either 2 to 3 more times you have to remove the engine or you will have to choose to service all 3 at once to "save" money.

Instead of the DOA 2.7 4T they should have made a gas variant of the 3.0T as well. They already have the experience with the Cadillac programs. Since the EB fords hang with or beat the 6.2 in acceleration before a tune I’d imagine the gas variation would make the V8s GMs cash cow look bad while sounding much better than a V6

Don't jump on the 3 litre Duramx too fast, after all its a GM and its the first year. What if Toyota comes out with a hybrid version that matches this performance. Same torque, same HP, but with a gas hybrid? No DEF, to particle filter and with reliability? Now wouldn't that put the Big 3 years behind? Its the only way to the future. Don't get me wrong. I think this Duramax is a good engine. But now is the time for hybrid then electric powertrains. Diesel is old technology now and has lost all credible reliability it used to have. Emission regulations have made it too complicated and unreliable.
