Anyone have any experience with the newSilverado 3500 duramax duallies used to pull 2 or 3 car haulers or cargo trailers commercially? Are they dependable and capable? I am about to start such a business and would like to know some info on them.

I bought a 2500 hd to hotshot cattle trailers. I usually pull 2 empties at a time. About 10-12000 lbs. but extra long. Runing 65 mph, no wind only about 6-9 mpg on midwest states.Empty 65-70 mph 16 to 18 mph. 13,000 miles so far and very disappointed. Hope it improves soon.

our dealer principle pulls any one of his 7....yes 7.....trailers all the time, one is his car transport hold 2 cars, usually his Vette and porsche, the others his toys, sleds, quads, blah blah, couple flat decks, I really dont know what he needs tehm all for, but ya it pulls them fine...he uses a SRW, so dually should just do ya better, the new 6speed is off the hook, you will like the tap **** for downhills, the grosss combinded on the duallies is 23,500 I beleive, you should be fine...and the independent front oh man what a nice ride

sure you dont have a gas truck....the milage would make sense for a gas powered truck.......diesel should get you 19-23 pretty consistantly, well thats what Im told here in Canada, so convert to US gallons but still should be better then 9, that is 8.1 gas territory, when loaded.
