Question
Hi bob, I'm thinking about to start my bussines, with a trailer of 3/4 car. can I do this job with a GASOLINE chevy 3500 dually. TNX for you aswer.
Hi Enrique.
Technically, you could tow it with the gas engines, but it won't pull like the diesel and you'll never turn a profit. You'll be running from gas station to gas station. Fuel will be your biggest expense as it is. If your at all serious about towing a 3/4 trailer, buy a diesel!
Good luck!
