I love my 6.0. Upgraded from a 97 Suburban with the 5.7
Around town, stop and go traffic sucks. Other than that, I am very happy with it.

I had a 2007 4dr 4wd shortbed 2500. I loved that truck. I never really had trouble pulling or was missing power. Around town she was great 10-11. Highway at 80 on cruise she was 13-14. At 60 on cruise she was 15-16 I just couldn't go 60, too slow. I traded the truck last summer on a new duramax dually and the 6.0 had 97000 miles of trouble free performance. I bought that truck brand new also.

I wouldn't hesitate to own another 6.0.

I have the 2009 dually 4x4 duramax as my tow ride and the 2013 2500 4x4 gas as my daily driver. They have A/T tires but nothing drastic. I get about 11-12mph out of both vehicles.
