Hi everyone,

I have a 2011 Chevy HD 3500 Dually Duramax/Allison with about 130K on it and probably travel anywhere from 7-11,000 a year Rv-ing. I haven't been completely happy with the Chevy (DEF recall, water pump recall, a bad transmission control module and now a "Service Trailer Brake System" module issue). My wife is a proponent of a gas truck - brand unknown and I think maybe doing away with the dually but still do a one-ton diesel.

We have a FB3921 at 42' and can't imagine towing that with a gas engine and no exhaust brake like on a dually. How many of you do a gas tower? Is the trailer as heavy as the one I have? And diesel towers: What are your thoughts?
