I'm retired so I'm not in a rush to get anywhere3.5 Ecoboost on 93 is faster 0-60mph than on 87.
No matter what Otto says.
so I stick with the 87.
Stock the GM 6.2 trucks were faster and remained faster until 2018 it became a wash. 2021 the Fords are the fastest.Of course this is a 5.0 thread, but at introduction the 2011 3.5 was the fastest stock pickup truck in the USA when running on 93. As proven by many tests by automotive enthusiasts at the time.
My 5.0L is faster than my aunts Yukon Denali 6.2L up top, i pull forward on her once I’m out of 2nd gear. She has me in the low end, 5.0 loses ground off the dig then quickly starts reeling it back in. Not sure how 5.0 would stack up to the 6.2 in the Sierra since they are a bit lighter.
You're the kind of guy that replaces a truck avery few years... In my case I take a longer view: My GMC Suburban has gone 30 years. If you run the numbers, keeping your truck that long means it was less costly. But you gotta do repetitive maintenance, monitor performance, and use good lubricants. I do that. PS When you keep a truck that long, I buy NAPA lifetime warranty stuff from them and then get replacements several years out for free...A used $10,000 truck also has all the power you ever need. And you are saving $40,000+ vs. the pocket change you "save" by filling up 87. ?
This guy owns both in pickups, his 5.0L SCrew beat his 6.2L High Country SCrew 0-60 on the dragy when both returned to stock wheels. It was tight but the 5.0 pretty much eaked out a win each time. Unfortunately for GM fans you can’t get their good motors in lighter trims like the Ford STX, they force you to be slow unless you get a heavy tank. A King Ranch vs a High Country might favor the Chevy, but Ford lets us get their premium V8 in any trim we want
. Don’t hate the player hate the game.Around 2020, maybe it was the 2021 You can get the 6.2 in the lower trims. It was only available in top trims from 2014 to 2019 or 20. They don't sell many low trim 6.2 trucks though. Typically special order.This guy owns both in pickups, his 5.0L SCrew beat his 6.2L High Country SCrew 0-60 on the dragy when both returned to stock wheels.

Sounds impressive. Two beautiful women tearing up the streets in upstate NY!
If you don't mind, I need your expertise below. And anyone else that has any idea of what's going on there. I'm extremely confused.You're the kind of guy that replaces a truck avery few years...
