[RC] truck and trailers - Diane Day

David wrote: To get an idea of this, look at the towing guide, and look for GCVW - gross
combined vehicle weight. Now add up how much your truck weighs (probably
6000-9000 pounds), add in the camper (unless you go the LQ route), the
weight of the trailer, and about 1000 pounds/horse --

My question concerns whether to use the tow haul option on my truck when I am pulling. It seems that when I do, I use a lot more fuel. I have a 2002 Chevy 2500 Duramax Diesel. I did not know that I needed to include the weight of the truck - if I do that means I would have to use that tow option all the time. Is it really necessary to use that?
