What are the stock horsepower and torque ratings for the 2011-2016 GM 2500/3500 HD Duramax?

The 6.6L Duramax Turbo Diesel V8 in this generation produces 397 horsepower and 765 lb-ft of torque, delivering solid power for towing and hauling.

What is the largest wheel and tire combo that can be run at stock height for the 2011-2016 GM 2500/3500 HD?

At stock height, you can generally fit 33-inch tires on 18- or 20-inch wheels. For 35-inch tires, a leveling kit or some minor trimming is usually required to prevent rubbing, especially on 4WD models.

How reliable are the engine and transmission on the 2011-2016 GM 2500/3500 HD models?

The 6.6L Duramax paired with the Allison 6-speed automatic transmission is highly reliable. The Allison transmission is particularly well-regarded for its ability to handle heavy-duty towing without overheating or failing.

What are the fuel economy estimates for the 2011-2016 GM 2500/3500 HD Duramax?

Although heavy-duty trucks aren’t officially rated by the EPA, most owners report fuel economy between 12-18 MPG. Highway driving without a load generally produces the best results, while towing can reduce the MPG to the lower end.

What are the towing capacities for the 2011-2016 GM 2500/3500 HD Duramax?

The GM 3500 HD can tow up to 23,200 pounds with a gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch, while the 2500 HD can tow up to 17,800 pounds, depending on configuration and equipment.

How easy is it to get more power out of the 6.6L Duramax engine?

The 6.6L Duramax responds well to performance upgrades. With diesel tuners, cold air intakes, and exhaust systems, you can achieve significant horsepower and torque gains. For even more power, modifications like turbo upgrades and injectors can make a substantial difference.

What lift kit options are available for the 2011-2016 GM 2500/3500 HD?

There are many lift kit options available for this generation, ranging from 2.5-inch leveling kits to 6-8 inch suspension lifts. Brands like Rough Country, BDS, and Cognito offer kits that enhance off-road performance and allow for larger tire setups.

Are there any known weaknesses in the engine or transmission of the 2011-2016 GM 2500/3500 HD?

The 6.6L Duramax and Allison 6-speed are highly regarded for their reliability. However, issues with the DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) system and DPF (diesel particulate filter) can occur if these systems aren’t maintained properly. Regular maintenance of these components is crucial to avoiding costly repairs.

How capable is the 2011-2016 GM 2500/3500 HD for off-road use?

With the Z71 Off-Road Package, which includes off-road suspension, skid plates, and hill descent control, these trucks are moderately capable off-road. Adding aftermarket lift kits, off-road tires, and lockers will improve their performance in more extreme off-road conditions.

What is the payload capacity for the 2011-2016 GM 2500/3500 HD?
