How much does the current trailer weigh fully loaded? Bryan and I would tow his C6 with his Excursion V10 (2000 MY). Fully loaded with his aluminum open trailer it was around 4400#. It towed it fine but mileage wasn't friendly. - AB


Just guessing, we're probably a bit heavier than that. Gas mileage isn't spectacular with anything (though admittedly better with Diesel in theory), but we put few enough miles on the bus that this point alone isn't a huge factor.

Then the V10 should be fine as long as the mileage isn't too high. The gassers seem to have valve guides go around 100k or so, but they can be done with the head on the vehicle. - AB
