Has nothing to do with not liking my Ram or my motor, which puts out 395 hp and 410 tq Clearly much more power then the 5.3, and not as much as the 6.2 No way the 6.2 gets much more then 10 mpg Just prefer the new GMC body and the Elevation trim.

No, I’m def buying a GMC, last new truck, I’m going back to GM Im just trying to decide on my best course of action. I know my brother loves his Peddle Commander, but I’m guessing I’d need to disconnect it anytime I’m going in for service?

New member and I’m looking to trade my Ram truck in for a new Elevation. I drove both motors listed above. My Ram has a 5.7 and when driving the 5.3 first, the difference was very noticeable, mind you I realize the Hemi is a larger displacement, but the lag with the 5.3 was pretty tough to take. When I got back to the dealer I took the 2.7 for a ride, again I hit the same interstate on ramp and noticed the 2.7 was way quicker getting up to speed. While I prefer the exhaust note of a v8, what’s with all the lag on the 5.3? Does everyone that owns a 5.3 buy a Pedal Commander? Buying a new truck, I don’t want to void my warranty. I mean even after the initial lag, the 5.3 just didn’t do it for me. I didn’t think the difference between the Hemi and the 5.3 would be THAT noticeable. Im sure this won’t be a favorable topic but this will probably be the last vehicle I buy, I’d hate to regret buying a 4 cylinder even though I had no problem with the way it drives, just not a fan of a truck sounding like a sewing machine. I have no desire to buy a diesel, I drive a tractor trailer for a living, I can’t stand DEF and the issues associated with it Also not interested in the 6.2 due to fuel mileage, I’d prefer a little more then 10 mpg Any help or insight would be appreciated, thanks
