End of the 5.3
The basic premises of the article, eerily reminiscent of being 2007 all over when GM sold both old and the then new body style concurrently. What’s interesting is the engine choices as quoted below.
Quote:
So by reading that, the reader would assume the 5.3 offering is no longer in the new 2019 truck, being replaced with a singular 6.0 V8 offering. So the 6.2 is gone as well. Which would make sense as in the market segment the truck competes in the 5.3 is out gunned by most all other competitors V8 offerings sans the Toyota 4.6. The optional 6.2 V8 makes more power than the other V8s, but the bulk majority of these trucks leave with the 5.3 V8. 2018 Models GM 5.3 V8 355HP/383TQ GM 6.2 V8 420HP/460TQ Vs… Ford 5.0 V8 395HP/400TQ Ford 3.5 V6 Ecoboost (Non Raptor) 375HP/470TQ Nissan 5.6 V8 390HP/394TQ Dodge 5.7 V8 395HP/410TQ Toyota 5.7 381HP/401TQ Toyota 4.6 V8 310HP/327TQ

The posted 2019 VIN cards are just an initial set. They're continuously updated as the model year draws closer.

Doesn't make sense. I would assume that GM would develop smaller v8s, instead of only going with one 6.0L. Don't get me wrong, its a good engine along with the 6.2, but the 5.3 is also an excellent engine that they've had awhile. The 5.3 is also better with gas mileage.

The 6.0l is one of the best engines ever built if you ask me. Ive had many of them used as service vehiles over the years. They are bulletproof. Probably one of the most underrated engines out there.

6.0s are less compression as well compared to the 6.2s, it's a work truck engine through and through.
