2007 Silverado help
looking at buying a new truck... not too concernded with price difference...
I'm stuck between: 1500 crew cab 5.3
1500 crew cab 6.0
2500 crew cab 6.0
2500 crew cab 6.6 duramax
I will be doing some pulling 5000-7600 pound boat.. But not primary use of the truck... It will be a semi daily driver but I'm looking for the best performance
I can get with the least amount of mods... So what do you all think???

Check out the GMC Sierra Denali. It has 403HP, 417TQ and will tow you boat with no problem. Its also a crew cab. Its kinda pricey though. I've had mine since April and I love it. Oh yea I ran a 14.66 @ 95.23 MPH bone stock.

MY NNBS VMAX, 6.0 liter with tow package is rated for 10,000 lbs.
2wd, awesome setup, 4l70e, 14 bolt, 4wheel discs and more affordable than a denali
but not quite as nice, but loaded none the less.
got my tune sorted out and runs like a rocket....

the '08 emissions are hard to get around on the diesels... the requirements went up again and Ive heard companies are having a hard time trying to tune for them.
So if you can find an 07... that would be the way to go IMO

i'm going to buy a american luxury coach custom - they'll customize either truck for me the deal is just so much better on the half ton get 0% interest for 60 months. I've pretty much ruled the diesel out because of being almost $7000 more and only getting 0% interest for 36 months. so if it was between a 5.3 or a 6.0 what would you do? I don't mind putting some money into the motor for more performance like to stick with cams, intake, etc. scared of supercharger and price of supercharger...
anymore help??
