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.

Chevy is shit, Gm is shit.... they use to make great cars in 70 through to the 90s and then they fucked up in the 00's and they still haven't fixed anything. Ford and Dodge are miles upon miles upon miles ahead of GM in every single aspect. I really tried to like GM, i really did and the only thing that kept me going was the Pontiac brand, from the G8 to early year model GTO's loved them, but once they were cut i had nothing to go for. My respect for GM ended when they decided to launch this little piece of spider monkey shit...
