Looking at a used 2012 and would love to hear yalls opinions on them but only from those with experience please. Ive been driving a 1/2 ton with the 5.3 for years and thinking about upgrading. I know the mileage sucks but other than that how do you like or dislike yours?

Just sold my 2012 2500HD with 6.0L. Also, had a 2006 2500HD with the 6.0. Never had an issue with either one, just routine maintenance. Plenty of power for my needs. I would not hesitate to buy another.Originally posted by Txfire409 View Post

We've got a 2014 2500hd with the 6.0, it's been a good truck so far as far as reliability, and plenty of power to yank around our 10k trailer. But man is it a gas guzzler, and the ride if rough. My dad still has it, but I've gone to a 2017 Sierra 1500 with the 6.2. It rides so much better, and still pulls what I need it to.Comment

i had one for about 8 months. probably my favorite truck ive ever owned. had to get rid of it due to growing family and it being a single cab. as you know, the mileage sucks. I got 12 hwy/town. and if I hooked anything (I mean a 4x8 lawn trailer up to a 40' stock trailer) up to it, it dropped to 9. but that truck would pull the devil out of hell.Comment

BIL has a 2016 4 door shorted 4x4 with the 6.0. He has been tracking mileage since he got it and averages around 10-11 in town, and anywhere from 13-16 on the highway. I have a 2010, and get around 10 in town, and 11-13 on the highway.

Have a work truck with 137k lease road miles and a personal with 36k. Zero problems, except fuel mileage isn't the best.

I drive a 2013 4x4 2500 every day at work and don't get close to the mileage y'all are reporting. If I baby it around I get 10.5-11. It's not loaded with a bunch of tools or anything. It has trouble pulling itself up a small hill without downshifting. My dad has a 01 and it's a completely different truck but still only get 13mpg.

Good strong reliable engine. Won't pass a gas station. Mine got 11 to 12 hiway and 6 and less pulling my 5th wheel. Had it 5 trouble free years.

I should add, I have larger tires, and replacement bumpers on my truck. I'm not going to complain about the ride as it's a 3/4 ton.

I'm gonna agree with mjames. I have a 2012 2500hd crew with 6.0. Its a dog for pulling. Until you get into its power band about 3500-4000 rpms it suck. I had a 29' travel trailer and a 20' bass boat and it didnt like the boat and dang sure didnt like the trailer.Originally posted by mjames76 View Post
I didnt buy it for gas milage so never really checked.

My company truck is a 2011 6.0 & have 298,500 miles on it...got is a little over a year ago with 180k & nothing but maintenance.
I'll be upgrading soon but have to say the truck is solid...not very skippy on the giddy-up but this vintage 6.0 is solid.Comment
