thinking about a new daily driver 99+ 4x4 ex cab
I am thinking about replacing my Ford Ranger with a full size Chevy/GMC short bed extra cab 4x4 with the 5.3 or 4.8 Vortec. I really like my Ranger because of gas mileage and dependability but I want a bigger truck for dirtbike ridding and stuff but I don't want to sacrifice gas mileage too much.
My questions are to those of you that own one of these trucks. Hows the gas milage with a 5.3 and auto? would it be a better idea to find one with a 4.8 how does the 4.8 run compared to the 5.3? (I have drove a 5.3 one allready) How does the 4.8 tow say 2000# up mountain passes? is the 4.8 much better on gas than the 5.3? This will be a daily driver don't plan on towing anything real heavy just my toys, so the most important thing will be mileage dependability and comfort.
