looking to get a 2001 ext. cab sierra. it has a 4.8 and i never heard how it does towing compared to the 5.3. is it good?? next is i could get it from the dealership i work at for 500 over which would be 14600 before taxes. is that a good deal for 65,000 miles or should i look for another one. thanks.

I would keep looking....Seems high to me. With all the rebates available right now....look into new!

go to kelly blue book and put it in. that will give you the value of the truck.

i have an 03 i'm selling. 4.8 ext cab. no mods but a grille. 36k miles. Only reason its so high is b/c i live in NY and go to school in michigan year round. I make a lot of 3-4 day weekend trips home and each one is 1600+ miles. At school the car just sits. I also just recent drove from michigan to NC to VA to NY to MI again which put on about 3000lbs. these are ALL highway miles.

I am gonig to bite the bullet and get a diesel b/c it will save me $1500 a year in gas ( i drive 30k miles a year). I've never towed anything, hardly ever haul anything.
I need $19,500 FIRM if you are intrested. also has 100k mile warante and Z71 package. It was $31 or32k new a year ago not including the 100k warante

To answer your question about towing, it depends on how big of a trailer you are going to tow. I've never had a 5.3 but with the right mods, your 4.8 can tow just as well or better than a stock 5.3. Mine does really well with the mods I have (check signature). I average about 12-13 mpg towing about a 4500-5000 boat. In the area around here in Ft Worth I leave it in OD and it pretty much stays there. It doesn't lug down on hills very much and holds its own very well. Hope that helps you out.
