Pics of my new tow rig! 07 GMC classic k1500... It's a nice daily driver upgrade from my 94 accord, and it's my first brand new vehicle, I'm thrilled shitless. 
and the reason I bought it...
It's just a 4.8, but it's got 3.73's so it moves pretty good, and it will probably get the regular bolt ons to help things out.
I know people will ask, so... The sticker was 30k and I got 4k in rebates + some other rebates (they cut out most of the rebates on 07's) so I paid $24,600.

i wouldn't try to tow anything with that little 4.8. mine runs ok (reg cab short bed) unloaded but i have all the bolt ons, cam, heads, etc. but as soon as i even hook up to a boat (light boat too...#1600 with trailer) it feels like a turd. can't imagine what it would do with a 3200# car and trailer behind it.

Thanks for the complements guys. Now I just need to slap the hitch on it, and find a nice trailer. I'm going to do a little looking around and see what exhaust I want to put on it. Probably a single magnaflow strait though like the ones on my car with a turn down. I think I'll crank up the torsion bars a little and then align it before I quit my job at the dealership

Edit: the 4.8 only has 10hp, and 30ft lbs of torque less than the 5.3

Thats what I figured, I'm not scared to make that bitch scream when I'm towing. Hell, if it isn't enough, I'll put a 6.0 in it. I'de still rather have a truck that feels like a turd than have no tuck at all. It sucks big ones when your car breaks over 100 miles from home and you drove it out there.

5.3's and do just about anything you will need to do.
