You didn"t say how much weight you planned to tow. But I think I agree with the last comment - if you"re towing heavy you should look at the 8 liter engine. I bought a 01 used 2500HD with the 6.0 last year. I love it, but I only tow around 4,000 lbs - 19" boat and trailer. Hardly even know the boat is there most of the time. But I"m not so sure it would handle 8-10,000 lbs very well. And I doubt the mileage would be much worse with the bigger engine - I think I only get around 12 or 13 empty. Only drive the truck weekends, so I don"t keep track of it that carefully.

I"d think very hard about the decision to drive it as an everyday vehicle, with gas approaching $3 a gallon.
