No reason to be angry Aaron, you sound not much different then me. I enjoy my big truck and am looking to do what I cna because Mpg. are a fact of life now if you don't want to go broke. I believe as I stated earlier that a 5.3 would be your best bet there are many programmers out there with a economy mode you can switch back and forth when you are in different situations.
I don't think you could get a Z71 package on a 6cyl. so that will push you to the v8 also the higher suspension of the z71 will allow more air to go under the truck maybe a loweriung kit may be more in order for your future mods this will help grreatly.
Don't sweat the comments look at the location of where people are from not everyone is familiar with your surroundings or needs. I never understood the logic of many small car owners that rather have 3 vehicles that one truck can do but have learned to understand some of their reasoning by hanging around here for past couple months. lurk around for a while and read some of the articles you cna pick up a few tips that will get you a couple MPG better... best of luck in your search f or a truck.
