[QUOTE="kevinatfms, post: 16514318, member: 39344"] I saw the opposite. The gas engine while amazing just sits WAY too high in the rev range for me while towing. This is for any gas engine that is naturally aspirated. I have not gotten a chance to tow with a Ranger but i would hope that with the turbocharged 2.3 it would be able to upshift a little lower in the rev range knowing the turbos start to wheeze out above 5500. For the Duramax it just puts along as long as you keep speed within reason. If i have the car trailer hooked up, in tow mode with the exhaust brake enabled running 55-60mph it will hold around 2300-2500rpm. Its an electronic exhaust brake also which takes some time to get used to but is quite effective since you dont have to listen to the roar unlike the full size diesels. Chevy spent alot of time and money making sure this was a quiet diesel no matter what the scenario. [/QUOTE]
