The 5.0 performance wise is much better than the 5.3. It almost feels like a huge dog with the programming it has.  The 6.2 is the motor to get. 

6.2 is awesome I’m not sure how they even sell many 5.3’s for the price difference

In the past you had to get the really pimped out truck to get the 6.2. Now it’s more widely available in other trims.

My 5.0 without a pcv hose hooked up gets better towing mileage then my buds 2014 eco and he’s got a smaller trailer. 

my 5.0 gets about 7.9 towing at around 75to 80 

my fiat hemi is about the same 

if towing like a grandma so under 60 I can get like 13 with the fiat

Reason why Ecobooth use more fuel??????  
 

cause the make more powah then the v8’s from GM. Law of physics in a internal combustion engine using gasoline states the more powah you make and use the more gasoline you use

and the only 4cly and by going to lots in October and looking at inventory there were 5 4bangers to every v8 in the 1/2 tons like I said GM knows it's target .

I will take a 5.0 or hemi tick over any modern Silverado

I've owned several...true story. 

It’s almost disappointing they run so long. Just an eternity of suffering through anemic power and retarded transmission calibration :lol:

How come gm guys are so sensitive about their offerings??

Cuz after 20-30 years of a great product they've made complete shit for the last 8. Now the Chinese electronics suck ass, the 5.3 is a fn valve train eating PoS, the tranny is co-engineered with Ford and takes 3x as long to performs as the ZF but if you want to spend 15k more than a Ram and get the 6.2 you might beat it by a truck length if the fn thing starts in the cold and doesnt fire lifters under the intake manifold. 

Loved my GM's for years but there's no way I'd pay way more for an inferior product.
