I prefer a 6 speed Silverado or sierra 5.3 proven that holds on for the long haul. Ford to me throws out new stuff and then when it breaks they look the other way. Time is what I want to see. High miles on one that is well out of warrenty and how owners feel then. That will be the true test of these animals !!
I own a 2011 SIlverado. Let me say the jury is out on the 5.3 now with the AFM. The 5.3 is a proven motor, but it is not proven with the AFM. While the 6 speed with tow/haul mode is great for towing, the six speed is less than refined.
