Check out my fuelly, that's about as real world as you can get.

Welcome! Nice looking Chevelle!

Welcome!

It seems the L5P is pretty solid so far, right? All have emissions issues, but this is 2019 and emissions aren't going away. We have to move forward and hope technology can keep up.

Yep, not even that often. I’m thinking every 4/6 weeks for the bush hog and all of that. The main part of the land will be mowed with a nice zero turn (I hope 😀). I’ll be towing it 60 miles from my dads house to mine. Yes, it’s the L series Kubota so your towing numbers seem to be pretty spot on...

I just purchased 5 acres last week.. I have a need to pull a decent (smaller size) Kubota for mowing and keeping up the land, but that's all right now as far as towing. I think the 1500 will be fine.

I'm going to drive one and see how it feels, but it's likely my next truck. I can't see giving 70K for a new HD. It's ridiculous.

Welcome to the forum!

I actually don't mind the new Chevy 1500's. I think in the right color package they look decent. But yea, imagine all of that emissions garbage off of it as well.. a few more MPG would be even better.

The Fast Lane Truck did a quick video and the trip showed around 31.6 MPG on a short 20/25 mile loop. Not bad, and that's just as good (likely better in most cases) than my Colorado.

Agreed. The EcoDiesel is suppose to return "redesigned" by 2020 model last I heard.

Looking good. Can't beat a LBZ! Still would love to have one.

I come across that news this afternoon.. such a bummer! That was likely my next truck this summer, but it appears I'll be waiting a bit. I'm assuming this fall (later) we might see it. This statement in the article was a bit off: I'm assuming they mean GM's first diesel in a half-ton? When...

I'm a +7 MPG over speed limit driver, so I'm sure I could improve even more if I kept it lower.

I've hit my best of 29MPG driving down to Florida, all interstate!

Most of those MPG numbers are 65-75% city as my interstate drive is usually stop and go +/- 30 MPH. I do work from home more often which helps but still not enough to show on the MPG front.

Changed my fuel filters Saturday. These had about 30K on them. Not bad actually... I was a little behind on it as I first changed them at 15K. As far as fuel mileage, about the same really:

Now at two years of ownership. I'm setting on 43K miles.. so far, it's been a good one. Replaced the factory tires at 40K. Everything else is stock and untouched.

Official Specs: https://gm1500diesel.com/forum/threads/official-duramax-3-0l-i6-gm-specs.3/ Still waiting for them to hit the dealer lots so I can see how the power band is. It's between this and a new 2020 HD.

I think I remember someone loosing a rod using twins when the 2.8 first come out... but I don't recall who.
