anybody own on of these trucks? any issues? anything that would stop me from hooking up to a 30 foot gooseneck and driving away with my truck on it? what do you guys think of these newer GM trucks?

My dad has a 06 duramax, his fuel mileage sucks. You can get a 07 and the fuel mileage is better. As far as hauling a gooseneck, it will tow it without issue
