GMC 5.3 or 6.2 Liter Engine?
Hi everyone, I am considering trading my Chevy Diesel for a 2014 GMC Gas. I no longer need a Diesel as we tow a 25 foot Travel Trailer rather than a Fifth Wheel. I have an option of 5.3 or a 6.2 Liter...

For decades the old Suburban was the go to vehicle for towing trailers. They are so totally weak compared to the engine/transmission combinations available today. If the truck is rated for your load the 5.3L is a perfectly good towing package. Will the 6.2L do better getting you up some of the steeper or longer hills? Absolutely! Will you miss the diesel performance enough that you're unsatisfied with the 5.3L? Maybe. Are you mature enough to accept the gain in gas mileage the 5.3L will provide in exchange for going up the occasional hill a little slower and maybe in a lower gear? Only you can decide.
If you read this post in the right voice it sounds like a movie trailer... lulz
Funny :)
