The NBS has a great powertrain. I am a fan of the 5.3L V8. I think the AFM is a good thing. The final push for me was the Flex Fuel Vehicle. I am a huge proponent of E85. see full Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review |

What needs to be said about a GM small block V8? I test drove a Ford with the 5.4 and that engine is an anemic dog. The 5.3 from GM felt much more willing to put power down, and it sounds fantastic. Also, the G80 differential makes the truck unstoppable see full Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review |
