It's weird that they decided to use the 6.2 in their test for the Silverado when most people buy the 5.3. The only way you can get a 6.2 is with a LTZ crewcab 5' short bed. If the 6.2 was available in more configurations then it would be a more accurate test. Even still the new Ford F-150 won overall.

I dont know what the figures are for the chevy 5.3 compaired to the 5.4 but if the ford engine is putting out more power than the 5.3 then it is clearly the better engine and gives good results to show how they compair. Im almost certain that if ford had an engine close to the 6.2 in size then the engine would be a better engine. But compairing a bigger litre engine to a lot smaller is a crap comparison in my eyes. I could answer the question with out any tests. Of course the larger engine is gonna tow better!!!!

I'd like to see how that pkg would fair against 5.4L on e85 for my curiosity. Not that I can or would by e85. Just curious.

Yes but remember 6.0L / 6 speed is still available across the board so not quite that simple. Infact only way you can get a GM to the max advistised tow limit (10,700?) is with max tow pkg and 6.0L / speed. And high octane not required then.

I have gone over this before. Even though the ford won i think it's unfair to test a 6.2 against a 5.4. So they add nearly a whole litre more and get only a minor power improvement????? If Ford had a 7.0 500bhp model i dont think it would be fair to compair it to the 6.2
I would have liked to see the chevy 5.3 as well but oh well. Ford disappoints me engine wise in more ways than one. They need to get the 6.2 and the new 5.0 4v out asap.

Then maybe you should get the crap out of your eyes, or at least stop speaking it... It was a comparison of all the new 1/2 tons out there. Each manufacturer should be fairly represented in that the best, most powerful 1/2 ton they have to offer should be in the test. I think they did a great job in doing this, so do others, and of course we will always have the "ford is the best crew" out here, no matter what.

what if i wanna know what tows better out of the 5.4 and 5.3 what gets better mpg what is better performance what is smoother engine what is quality like. A apples for apples test would have been good and not best against best. Not everyone would class the bigger engine as best for them. In the future im sure we will see the 5.4 put against the 5.3 in tests and that for me is a good indecation as to how well fords engine is doing.

Well clearly your (correction = you're) not in the market for a new truck. I would have liked to see it compared with the 5.3 as this is what 90% of buyers will go for in that truck. Ok the ford is still the better truck even though the other have bigger engines but it still gives you no idea how it performs compared to a relevant model. People can compare as small and as large engine as they like but it gives you no figures that are any use.

Seems you're not really clear on what best to offer vs. best to offer means.
Lack of articulation, grammar and punctuation clearly explain many of your previous posts.
