what would you choose....i am looking for either a 8.1 liter gas suburban, for a 6.6 duramax diesel pick up?

i go to the desert alot and go to lake havasu...i have dirt bikes, boat and seadoo....

what would be better?

 

Isnt the 8.1 only in the really old ones? I thought the 6.2 was the biggest now?

Lake Havasu! that's where I want to move to!!! (from PA)

I'm tired of this 3 month boating and jeeping season crap! i want to boat 24/7!

 

the diesel will be more fuel efficient, I can't imagine the mpg on a 8.1 gas engine, towing. is there a large enough engine that is flexfuel to have power and efficiency

Sabrtooth - move to california, its 24/7 boat/offroad year round

 

need to save up some $ for a few more years then we will see... I have a pretty good job now; don't want to leave it; but man I'd LOVE to boat year round... its such a waste here...

 

Diesel....Much better mileage and power.......miss my Duramax.....

 

As much as I love a big block, I would have to say go with the diesel for your intended use.
