Who's got a 2014 Chevrolet 1500? Just curious if any of you guys have one and how do you like it? Have you pulled a car hauler with car? Curious to know if the new 5.3's pull better? Trying to debate on what I want to get next.

I had one for a few weeks while I had Reliable Chevrolet fix a few things on my GTO when I bought it from them. This one was fully loaded and I loved it...the gas mileage was great but I do think the engine lacked a little. For a city truck it was great...but I'm not sure how I'd feel about towing anything of a higher weight.

I would like a '14 GM pickup, but I would love a '15 Duramax. Either way, with the prices of vehicles getting even more and more ridiculous, I don't see myself ever buying a brand new vehicle again. But I too have been wondering if the '14 pickups are better at towing than the previous two body styles.

The new 2014 Trucks with the 5.3s are strong little engines. The new 5.3L with a tune will walk a stock 2013 GM truck with a 6.2L. Of course, the new 2014 6.2s are even stronger, but I'm very impressed with how strong the new 5.3s are, especially after a tune.

Check out Mac Haik's website, they have a 4 wheel drive LTZ crew cab for $35K. I thought about picking up a E350 or Lexus GS for a daily, but a truck is so damn practical and the up level trims are pretty nice for what they are. I don't need or have use for a diesel.

Active fuel mgt is still enabled with the tune. People with good tunes are reporting nice gains in fuel economy as well. The stock tune is pretty conservative.

So your telling me a 2014 5.3 will run 14.0's I don't think so my lil brother just traded a 2011 6.2 in that ran 14.0 un tuned and 13:80 tuned.He just got a 2014 6.2 ran 14.1 then Steven tuned at the track and it ran 13:8's..so sounds like to me the 6.2 run about the same which Steven will tell u he but a BS tune in it just for giggles.

i have a 2014 gmc slt z71 4x4 w/ 3.42's with black leather heated / cooled seats, trailer brakes, sliding rear window. no nav and no bose. i had a 2012 sierra 5.3 before this one and this one picks up speed much better. the torque management is still crazy stupid on these trucks. taking off from a stop light you have to give it a lot of the go pedal for it to move but once it hits like 2000 rpm's it kinda puts you back in your seat. pulled that trailer in the pic below pretty decent but it was nothing too heavy either.
the day i got it.
took the ugly chrome mirror caps and handles off..
