If you think the 5.7 Hemi is long in the tooth like me then most long in the tooth motor is the Chevy 5.3lL. I know it’s been a good engine and I am not trying to offend anyone and I’ve owned 2 and driven work vehicles with this motor many miles.

But it needs a major update!

The 5.3 just finished a major update from GM. Besides the displacement it is not the same engine from a few years ago.

I pulled with a '06 5.3 and it was barely adequate for a 7200 lb trailer but not something I would want to pull with again but the new 5.3 I may be convinced.
