The 6.2 really makes the 5.3 seem irrevelent. The mpg is similar and yet the 6.2L is just an incredibly strong preforming engine. However GM really limits the configuration that you can get that combo in. I am not sure why that is but they have no problem selling vehicles with that engine. My neighbor has 300k on one of his older 6.2L 1500s. He bought one of the first 2014's available with that motor. If your in the market for a 1500, I am not sure why you would opt for anything other than that engine. This reminds me of the 4.8 verse the 5.3 from years ago. I really wished that the 6.2L was available in the HD's.

If you saw how the blocks were designed and built you would understand why they are not a HD engine. Great race engine! HD truck engine......aaaaaaaaa not so much.

Perhaps what I should say is that I would like to have a gas engine in the HD's that performs like the 6.2L. I have been happy with what I see out of the 6.0, but you read and talk to guys with the 6.2 and you cant help but to want to graze on what certainly looks like a greener pasture.
