Re: My 2012 GMC Sierra
Also, what kind of driving do you do? In town, country, highway, a mix of two or all of those?
I bought the 4.8 with a 4 speed because it better suited my in town and country drives, I didn't need the 6 speed, and didn't care that the 4.8 is only 26hp less then the 5.3. I average 16-18mpg with stop and go, and 80km/h county driving. The 6 speed would spend most of the time changing gears needlessly in my case. Sure it would come in handy at 80-90km/h, but the 3.42's keep my rpms at about the same as what the 6 speed would be at, at those speeds.
