He has a 20' speedboat and a fairly large, enclosed, tandem axle trailer that can haul up to 3 motorcycles. He said the 6.2L is leaps and bounds above the 5.3L. Do what you wish, but if you have heavy toys to haul, get the 6.2L. BTW (as already stated), the 6.2L also has cylinder deactivation.
I agree with about everything you said, but comparing a 2008 5.3 equipped Silverado to a 2014 with the 6.2 is hardly a fair comparison.
