I have a Dodge Ram 1500 1999 5.3 engine that I'm just not feeling very comfortable with, it's starting to nickel and dime me.
I've started a new truck search and want to get a Chevy Silverado z71
4x4 extended cab with a 6.0 engine, tow package. I need the bigger engine because I'll be towing a 27 foot camper, 5000-6000 lbs.The Dodge towed it "fine," but knowing there is a stronger engine out there.....
I don't have the funds to buy new, or even the 2007 and 2008 used models (honestly I don't like the new design very much) so I'd like to get the 2006.
My question, through all my searches, 98% of the 2006 trucks I have found have the 5.3 engine. It's very hard to find one with all that I want with the 6.0 engine.
Should I just settle for the 5.3?! I really don't want to buy another truck if it's not gonna be a step up from what I already have. But I just can't find one with the 6.0.
Thanks Steve
