Pulled the boat this weekend for the first time with the new gm 6.2 and 8 speed, just thought I would share the results. It's a great improvement over my previous 08 1500 with 5.3 and 4 speed 3:73 configuration. It's definitely not a D max but pulls strong on hills and the 8 speed keeps it in the torque sweet spot. Overall I'm impressed with it pulling 7500 lbs, as I dreaded it with the old truck. Just thought I would share if anyone is considering a new 1500 and I tried a new 5.3 as a loaner and hands down the 6.2 is way better.
