In '08, Chevy had a 5.3 liter, not a 5.7. Second, the 5.3 was 315 horsepower and 338 pound-feet of torque, which is not remotely close to the 3.5EB at 375 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque. 132 lb.- ft of torque difference and it all happens in a much broader range. I've towed with both engines too. I get better mileage towing with the EB and the experience is nothing alike.
It's okay for us to have different opinions. In the end, we both get what we perceive to be the better option.
CrewMax sounds like a Toyota to me, especially with a 5.7. They are around 400ftlbs of torque, I believe?
