I test drove the 5.3 and the 6.2 before deciding on the hybrid powertrain. I like to entertain myself whilst driving and I was very happy with the 23,000 miles I put on a Camry hybrid in 12 months.
I did drive the 6.2 Surburban and loved the grunt and exhaust note. I drove the 5.3 and was underwhelmed. Sorry, you 5.3 owners, but the 6.2 really puts a whipping on your 5.3's. The need for premium and the potential gas mileage had me scratching my head.
Really, on a whim, I test drove the hybrid and was pleasantly surprised with the promise of power and the fuel mileage. Now, after 2000 miles, I have squeezed the pedal and boy, the hybrid really moves out.
I don't know of GM can keep selling these trucks that they are already supposedly taking a loss on at $54k at $35k (that's what I paid for a 'used' 09 with 164 miles and an MSO), but I love mine.
I still hve to figure how to get a Yakima roof rack and box sitting on mine for a summer trip to Florida, but it is something I am seriously thinking about.
