I own a 2016 GMC Sierra HD 2500 Duramax, bought new to tow several of my toys, including my boat and travel trailer. This fall, I sold both the travel trailer and boat, and all I have left to tow is the utility trailer I haul my Polaris General around in- power and tow capacity of the GMC hardly needed.
However, I really like driving my Duramax diesel, fuel economy is great, and repairs and maintenance have been minimal. It is just a great truck, IMO, but now way more than I need. I no longer put a lot of miles on a vehicle, and mine has only 36K miles on it, still on its original tires and batteries.
Been thinking of selling it, and buying something smaller, like a GMC Canyon, etc., but it would be hard to give up the comfort, power, and everything else that goes along with driving a diesel!
You might consider the 1/2 ton GM Duramax. I just purchased one (formerly always gas) and I am very impressed so far
