2025 Diesel orders opened

Yea I thought the same but the equivalent gmc model was $18k more. Just wasn’t worth it to me for things I didn’t want

Also, to support my estimates on fuel mileage, here's what i found on Fuelly.com for the LM2 which shows about a 7.5 MPG spread on average - while some do seem to get 31 it seems like the mean is around 24-25 combined.

Here is the same data on the 5.3

I would say that the absolute 3.0 avg is about 24-26 ish. But primarily because we are in town more. I've seen 20 in the dead of winter cold, and it's all time high was 34'ish if you keep it around 60-65 and not bucking a headwind. Previous to my diesels, I had a 5.7 RAM Hemi and it wouldn't get 14 mpg with a wind behind it. It was a 100.00 a week habit and you could literally watch the gauge drop on every trip you took. Was a solid vehicle other than that though.... That solved it for me.

Wednesday we took a whirlwind trip from far Western NY to Lake George NY. Mostly express way but some 2 lane. Also hilly going up rt 88. Ran with the cruise set at 74. The trip was 842 miles, avg was 28.4 mpg. This was in my 2023 diesel Suburban..with 30,000 miles. Love that baby diesel.

See those are the reasons the 3.0 is a must for me. I road trip with little kids and having the range to just keep driving when they fall asleep is so nice

We road trip as well with kids. The range is totally intoxicating. We can almost complete our trip from NW Oregon to the California coast (Paso Robles) on one tank. The only reason you NEED to stop is for a bathroom break and then you end up filling up while you're there, if needed.

If you got a trick to get them to not have to go to the bathroom for 650 miles, PLEASE SHARE

Drive at night. I can go from northern Az to nearly Los Angeles all while they are knocked out for the night.

Ditto. Either late night driving or transfer them to the car super early in the morning. They usually all fall back asleep. By the time they’re up and ready for breakfast is about when I need a bathroom break myself. Nice way to knock out a couple hundred miles of the trip.

Its so worth the weight. This is my first diesel. Its accelerates so smooth that I dont realize I'm speeding. I cant wait to put some real highway miles on it!
