The towing capacity of the 2006 Chevy 2500HD Duramax is 17,200 lbs. It's important to plan for replacing this part in the future to avoid accidents while driving. Regularly changing your tires every 30,000 to 50,000 miles is crucial for ensuring they are in optimal condition and reducing the risk of crashes. Keep an eye on the part for any potential issues that may arise down the line. Don't forget to check your tire pressure monthly and inspect for any punctures, especially if you run over a nail. Be aware that the part could loosen over time, leading to premature tire wear, feathering, or cupping problems.

We use a 36-foot 5th wheel trailer weighing 13,000 pounds when loaded, towing it with a 2006 Duramax Crew Cab. When driving on the highway without any load, we get 25 miles per gallon, while towing the trailer we get 12 to 15 miles per gallon, and we achieve these numbers without using any DEF.
