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.

Answer
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!
