i was looking at a 2012 2500 suburban and they said that the 6.2 was not available...Gm piss's me off when it comes to power options,,you would think if they offered the duramax in one it would sell like hot cakes..

I guess the benifit is that everything lasts longer. LOl . I bought the boat from a buddy and he had Hi Tech build the trailer specifically for the 25' Outlaw. Because (In his own words) He towed long distance,sometimes more than a thousand miles and did'nt want any problems. I know its overkill but worth the peace of mind.
