Wait, what is this 6.2 that you speak of?

GM is cheap, they use the same motor in everything. 6.0 in Caddies, GMC's and Chevy trucks.

Atleast, this is based off of my day to day experience with all of these vehicles because of where I work, if there is a 6.2 I have never seen it.

Propels the nearly 6000 lbs Escalade to 60 in the 7 second area. I think the Sierra Denali is the only pickup with it.

I'll tell you what, the Current Escalade is no Corvette, but for a 3 ton SUV, it's got the moves... Fun part is, when you drive them too hard (thus setting off all the stability programs) OnStar will call you and make sure you haven't gotten into a wreck.

Delete this post if needed(might start flame war) but I would just like to share my opinion on this post, in WhiteMKIV's paint thread:

I really dislike this guy's attitude, techincally they aren't ***/homosexual, not trying to be a nerd or anything, but I could say the same thing about supra's, but I don't.
Why?
Because I have a sense of knowledge posting that a certain type of car is *** is wrong.(not only incorrect, but may offend actual homosexual-oriented people).
Rare car...the Stangs go waaaaaay back buddy...don't know what you've been smoking lately.
If you can't tell, this post ****ed me the heck off, as Mustangs are my favorite car.

Yes teh denali sierra is teh only truck at least of GMC's that has the engine in it...If im not mistaken there are plans to somehow incorporate it into a chevy truck. For those that are brand oriented people they can stick with their chevy's, and not have to move to GMC even though its the same truck...

I know i like GMC more than chevy...just because ive always liked the GMC bodystyle more...

Texan what do you think of Qsteer? hell 12' radius on a 17' long truck, that beats out your high end full size mercs...

[texan_idiot25]

I dunno if Chevy will ever get the 6.2, most are happy with the 6.0. But, the trickle down effect has been in place since the start of the GMT900s, but I don't remember reading anything that says it has the 6.2.

Quadrasteer was badass, and I wish GM kept it. Plus, the bed the GMC had for was sweet, just slightly widened for the extra axle width.

Tex, speaking of quadrasteer, have you seen silvy's with it, i found a black 2001 z71 quadrasteer silverado one time. i just about ****ed myself. i cant find any pics of that bodystyle now (of course)

but i did find this

[meme405]

I know the reason i asked was because i finally drove one...that was an experience, it had the entire qsteer package which had other options as well.

Ill stick with saying this it was one hell of a difference bettween when it was on and off. Deffinetly worth the 6500$, hell it'd be worth 10 000$.

Thinking of trying to find an old 2006 (cause thats the last year it was offered right?) to replace my broken down POS hunk of scrap metal...

[texan_idiot25]

Go for it if you can find one. I haven't seen one on the road in awhile. Sadly, like the Envoy XUV (or whatever) it was a great idea well executed that sadly didn't take off.

[mustanglover]

heres what i had to do with Coreys dads truck lol listen to them cherry bombs!

But your missing the point

[taiwanesekid05]

Yay... Expensive gas prices...
This was a local Chevron Wednesday. Now the regular gas is 4.19.

[texan_idiot25]

That really sucks for ya'll

[taiwanesekid05]

It really does... So much that my parents are thinking about buying a new car. My parents want a Honda Fit or a Honda Civic Hybrid. Any opinions vs other new fuel efficient cars? And don't say a stupid comment like "dam,getta chevi kolbalt ss cuz it gotta supahchargere and is lyke da fastes on the nerbergreeng."

The cost of a new car far out weighs paying for gas at the pump.

People who are trading in their SUVs that they haven't even payed off for a more fuel efficient car are dumb-struck that their costing themselves FAR FAR more in the end, then to just pay off the **** truck.

[meme405]

Ok when was the last year GM had Qsteer in sierra's and it what model was it in...

I thought it was 2006, but i cant even find an 05 with the right package on there (what is the packages name? i forget...).

Are these trucks that rare?

Maybe 04-05, not sure. But yes, that rare. Sadly, again like the Envoy XUV, the idea didn't launch like it could've. No flaws in the system, but (like it should be) it was actually bought by truckers who are going to use the **** truck.
