FIL just rented a 24' U-Haul with GMC Chassis with 8.1 I am guessing. It had 4 speed auto. My 26 year old son drove it following me down here from Park Rapids Mn. After the first stop he said I could go faster than I had been (65) on fairly flat roads. He said it was humming along at 2200 rpm just fine. He drives a 94 Ram diesel or a 2005 Ford with Powerstroke pulling a 16' construction job trailer at work as a comparison. I drove it the last 10 miles and was impressed with the power. I am guessing it got about 7 to 8 mpg which isn't bad considering my Ram with 318 only got about 12 pulling a 16' flatbed piled about 3' high with shop equipment with a lot lighter load and a lot less wind resistance. The guy I turned it into said that they had a lot less problems with them than the powerstrokes that they used to equip them with.
