Nice truck

 

What dealer did you go through? What part of Indy are you from?

[galliher_nc]

5.3 or 6.2?

Finally someone has a pic with those wheels. Pure sexiness right there.

Nice truck

West Side, near you it looks like. Rockville & Country Club area

 

5.3 or 6.2?

Ordered before I found this forum and was uneducated in the ways of the 6.2 so it's a lowly 5.3 It'll hold me over for a while I'm sure ;-)

Posted just for you! haha I originally planned on going with the 6-spoke black but they were constrained when i ordered...these were option 2. Now that i've seen them on the truck I don't think they'll be coming off haha

Stoops in Plainfield

Awesome looking truck, and nothing wrong with the 5.3. Don't let 'em tell you any different. 325 CID, 355 HP with 383 LB-FT Torque on 87 octane, 380 HP with 416 LB-FT Torque on E85, is no slouch. You will thank yourself with the 2 grand you saved on the front end, approximately $10+ dollars ($0.40+ per gallon for premium) on every fill up, approximately 50 more miles range (another $11+) per tank @ 2 MPG better mileage, so $20 more to go the same distance, and last but not least, it will save you from having to ask everybody if they have a 5.3 or 6.2.

 

Using 20 MPG for the average in a 5.3, I get better in warmer weather, worse in the bitter cold, but average 18-19 In winter, and 21-22 in moderate weather. Cant wait to see what it actually gets during the summer months. I have got as high as 26.5 MPG highway @ 55 MPH.

 

We will use 2 MPG less in the 6.2 @ 18 MPG (16 MPG winter, 20 MPG summer), as that is just a guess from what I have been hearing. You might want to take off another 2 - 4 MPG for the ones that cannot keep their foot off the firewall. The numbers below will be with both driving conservatively.

 

In a 5.3L, if you drive 12,000 miles per year, that is 600 gallons of regular unleaded @ 20 MPG average, @ $3.65 / Gallon = $2,190 per year.

 

In a 6.2L, if you drive 12, 000 miles per year, that is 667 gallons of premium unleaded @ 18 MPG average, @ $4.05 / Gallon = $2,701 per year.

 

So in a nutshell, Approximately $2,000 on the front end, and $511 dollars annually, that is $2,511 in the first year alone. $4,555 in 5 years, $7,110 over a 10 year period.

 

Obviously to some, it is worth it. Some may have a heavy 10,000 pound trailer to haul around, some think they have a race truck, and to some bigger is always better. Nothing wrong with a 6.2 either, so don't let me tell you any different.

 

Sweet ride you have there. ENJOY!
