Why would Ford/Chevy extend the oil changes if it causes problems? Anyway, for the next 100,000 miles I have the stamp in my book for doing oil changes according to the DIC my warranty is covered. I will trade before it gets to 100,000 miles anyway - heck the new 2017 Fords have caught my eye.
Last year when towed about 700 miles with a friend in gas and us in diesel at each fill up I put 5 to 8 gals less fuel in mine them him. He was towing a lot lighter then I was....

All I can say is that the Def is to be added at the oil change
so you may be by passing what is recommended. So your friend took more fuel but you leave out the info on the vehicle.  Could have been a V-6 for all we know. Later RJD

DEF is put in as required not just at oil changes, if you tow a lot you maybe towing really really slow just prior to the oil change ...
His truck is 2013 Chevy 2500HD 6.2 Gas and white if you think that might make a difference. He was getting around 9 and I was getting around 12 miles per gallon Yep he used 5 to 8 gals more between fill ups than I did...

You right it is 6.0, because it was 2500HD bought at the same time I bought my 2013 Chevy 2500HD diesel. I had the 6.2 in my 2012 Chevy 1500 that I traded in for the 2013 diesel which I traded in for F350 diesel and looking hard at the 2017/18 F350.

My Duramax is 10 qts. My last gasser was 7 qts. Not much difference there. If it's below freezing, I plug it in. No waiting around then. Plus, I can plug my truck in at work too.

If the in dash gps is the issue, may I suggest just using a sticky pad with your smart phone. Many of the in car gps's don't give you the detail of the phone's gps including frequent updating and traffic reporting. Your in car system might be outdated sooner and harder to update. Your phone can be changed out sooner and easier. Good luck

I just bought a new 2015 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel 4X4 crewcab. On the way home from the dealer on a pretty flat hwy I was getting 25mpg at 68mph. I am totally happy with the MPG this huge monster truck gets.

Stopped and looked at an F250 6.7 Powerstroke Turbo today... wasn't offered a test drive so I don't think I will be stopping at that dealer again... anyways. Per the literature its only rated for 15,100lbs in a 5th wheel. Thats a paltry 600lbs more then my 2500HD Gas.
Hardly worth the $20k premium. ($68k sticker)

not about towing more, it's about towing it easier and more efficiently. Chassis is the biggest factor in capacity.

I have been following this topic and find the info about the chevy vibration shaking problem interesting, I traded a 2014 gmc 1500 in for a chevy hd2500 because the 1500 towed our trailer but towing in the mountains would have been the death of that truck ( not enough power or brakes and suspension ) anyhow I did not experience any of these problems with both trucks, my camping pal also has a 2015 chevy hd2500 without any problem with vibration, I hope you do not scare anyone of from buying an excellent towing truck with those comments, I took dodge off my list with the not so great crash test results coupled with everyone I saw at the campground had the rear bottomed down while towing. to each their own, its great that we have so many choices and I couldn't be happier about how my hd2500 has performed so far. thanks joe

Ram dragging the rear? My 2500 is 1/2 lower at rear than front with a TH with a dry tongue weight of over 1600lbs.
I've heard about and seen the Ford SD sagging, not the Ram or GM.

Thats about 8695 gallons of gas for that 20k.... or 69,565 miles at my 8mpg towing... Seeing as my current truck only has 33,000 miles after 4 years it would take me roughly 12 years to make up the difference.
