6.0. It's my first 3/4 ton truck and couldn't be happier with it. I don't tow enough to justify the added expense of the diesal.

Now that you have a 3/4 ton you will never turn back! Your next one will be a diesel though, mark my words [emoticon]

So how does the 6.0 tow i just did the same thing. Went from 2011 z71 1500 to 2012 2500 with the 6.0 extended cab long bed. Feels real strong but have not pulled the camper yet. I got tired of 6800 lb camper wanting to shove the half ton around. Camper is 28ft wildwood xlite with slide.

I traded my Nissan Titan in for the Chevy 2500 HD. I just towed the camper about 5 miles back to the house & was amazed at the stability. No more of the trailer pushing the truck around. I love the integrated brake controller. I still use my Reese dual cam sway & I love the added benefit of the built in sway control. Motor only has 600 miles in it & feels like it needs to be broken in.

Thanks for the info. I to had a Nissan Titan and wished I had it back when we bought tt. Had to wait a year till I could get out of z71. 2500 does feel a whole lot more stable mine to has 600 miles on it. Will be 2 weeks old this friday. Thanks again lots of good info on this site. Will post pics of rig when i get a chance.
