I'm sitting in a GM dealer right now.
I can get all I wanted with a 2200 pound payload, and better advertised fuel economy than the Ford 5.0....
Even if it is the same I'd be happy.
Not looking good for Ford. Also my dealer has not called today as promised.
Anything bad about the GMC/Chevy 5.3's and associated transmissions I should be aware of?
The 5.3 is a GREAT motor. Its not an EcoBoost and has a few less HP than the 5.0 in the 2015 Ford F150 but it is NOTHING to be ashamed of. They are powerful.
I do agree though.. If you can get the LTZ package you can then get the NHT max trailering package with the 6.2 v8... Over 400 HP and the Amazing 8 speed Transmission
Here is a YouTube video showing a 6.2 GMC vs the Ike Gauntlet.
