5.3l chevy to 6.0l chevy
Will a 6.0l be much of a jump in pulling power from my current 2008 5.3l suburban? (assuming the same 3.73 gears in both) I have been looking at buying a new tow vehicle and want to stay with a gas ri...

Thanks for your input bionic man. My suburban can't pull 4th (overdrive) on level ground, level ground is 3rd gear, anything more than a slight incline for more than a half mile or so will cause it to shift to second. I wouldn't mind running some higher RPMs if running in the mountains or something, but in the Texas panhandle it seems a little much. I would consider an ecoboost, but have never seen one in my price range ( less than $10,000). I am sure they are out there, just not real common.
I like the full size van idea, but my wife has vetoed that option.
I think I will keep looking for a v10 or 8.1 chevy, sounds like they may do better than the 6.0 or my current 5.3.
My wife did not like the van idea, but now appreciates the van. I also leased an expensive vehicle for her daily driver, and the van is currently a dedicated family/tow/move large stuff (or goats)/many people vehicle. It was also the vehicle that the fourth daughter used when learning to drive.
I looked for the 6.0, with the backup camera and backup assist. It definitely makes it much easier.
