I'm not biased, The family all own Chevy's, We used to own (all bought new) a 94 suburban, An 00 Suburban, and an 06 Suburban, They were all sluggish and didnt like to work hard. However, With that said, They were incredibly reliable, And AMAZING in deep (2+feet) of snow. I guess the jury's out on the Ford's reliability. (We've only owned the '12 F150 for 3 months now)
| where are you getting this from? they havent released ANY power figures at all yet. i would expect the 5.3 to have at least as much power as the 5.0 ford or the ecoboost.
The 6.2 and the 5.3 are likely both based on the 6.2 LT1 in the new vette, meaning they are substantially new engines. |
