    Shopping for a new truck

    Hey guys i been browsing all the used lots within a 200 mile radius and using autotrader looking for a good new fullsize. Looking for a 99-06 reg cab sierra or silverado.

    I know about what i want but when it comes time to mod what trucks are better for performance i assume a regular cab due to weight but maybe theres not much difference in the ext cabs. Also curious if certain year 4.8s and 5.3s come with more Hp or Tq etc.

    Reason i ask is because im picky so im having a hard time finding a reg cab under 100k miles. So should i look into ext cabs? just need some input on what to look for since this will be to help me build credit. etc

    Look how slow Tyler's truck is. You know why? Because it's an extended cab, and white.

    There isn't a whole lot of difference from the factory but I think you can get more from a 5.3. If a 6.0 is in your future plans for it then it really shouldn't matter. The lm7(iron block 5.3) will be 295hp and the l33(aluminum block 5.3) is 315 hp. Good luck finding a l33 equipped reg cab. I think there are quite a few very fast 4.8s in the house though.

    Im no where near tx or oklahoma though. Cant find anything around ga fl sc worth the asking price. Did see a SS with a 6.0 for 11k but it had like 130k on it

    I want and really like a reg cab. I asked this here becasue i wasnt sure if i should expand my search to a ext cab.
