Default Just got back from Mexico: 2500 RCSB's!?!?

I just got back from Rosarito, Mexico for a little Spring Break fun. The police there drive white RCSB's. Although most of the trucks were debadged for the police graphics, the captains drove unmarked RCSB's, 2wd, that were 2500's. I'm wondering, dear lord, is it possible to order a Silverado/ Sierra in Mexico with a RCSB, and a 6.0?!?!

I've never seen a 2wd 2500 series RCSB. Anyone seen one of these??

Its Mexico's version of a 1500. No 6.0, it might be the 350 vortec still.

You know, you are not first one to say those Mexican 5.3's are faster than the onces here on this side of the border.
I am guesing it's because in Mex they mesure engine power in "toros de fuerza" as in "bull power" instead of "horse power" as here in the U.S.

LOL "toros de fuerza" no but seriously they are a little faster i mean either the rds are crappy over there that they leave tire marks for 1-2 blocks or its the GAS and all the chemicals they use
