About to pull the trigger........

My black Chevy had a 4.8 and I towed my boat and my Camper that is 30 feet long, all I did was boost up my rear springs for the tongue weight.

lemmee hear it.

The 4.7L aint a bad engine by any means, but it does require religous maintence. Slacking on just a couple of oil changes can and has resulted in quite a few bearing failures in them. I had a 4.7L in my 2000 DAKOTA that I had, and loved it. It needs a few RPM's to pull a load, but it does make good power up high. Theres also a good aftermarket out there for them for upgrades.
