Default Anyone running a 14/15 sierra 5.3/3.42

curious as to what you are towing, what package, and your thought good and bad, I just came within a eyelash of buying a 14 All Terrain, but got cold feet for now, just curious how there holding up good and bad and towing, I drove one for a weekend and loved it, but the headlights and radio were major week points

I have a 2015 5.3 with 3.42 on order. Been on order for 7 weeks. Dealer says it should arrive any day! Went with the upgraded stereo and I am already planning for a HID upgrade. I can't wait!!

Pretty much went with every option except the safety package.

Sorry I meant I went with the 3.73. That's why I had to order it. They don't make many with the 3.73.

That's good to hear, for me I probably won't leave the area except for the finger lakes 1/2 a year so its hard to want a 3/4 when I drive alot every day, what are your thoughts on the 14-up so far? Should I wait a model year? Seems like alotta complaints on stupid stuff that adds up after a while, but let's be honest people usually don't go on forums for praise usually it bit##in about stuff lol

The new 5.3 should do great towing. Has over 300 ft lbs of torque from 1500 rpm and up.

The new 6.2 has 400 ft lbs of torque at 1800 rpm- thats a lot of torque. Hooked to an 8 speed tranny I think pulling 12000 lbs is very doable.
