6.32 vs 5.3 = apples vs oranges.
Later model '14 and up 5.3 have 355 hp 383 torque.
The 6.2 in 1500 GM trucks has 420 hp and 460 torque.
My wife has the new 5.3 in a 2016 1500 crew cab chevy 6 speed. I just came off a 318 mile (round trip) pulling a 10k car hauler with 9460 lbs on the trailers axles.

No comparo.
