I have a 99 silverado/4.8lt. the gas milage is its best feature compared to the larger gas engine. It has more than enough power for generally everything you would do daily. I just hauled an 8n on a car hauler 320 miles 2 weeks ago. Although like Plots said it is a bit sluggesh, it was not a hazzard, in fact I was really a bit more impressed with how much power it did have because I was expecting it to be even worse than what I had. I have the tow pack/gear also and it works just as it was supposed to. I normally get around 18 on the highway give or take 1 mile/gallon. I got 15.2 pulling the 4600 pounds.
Like he said though if money is not a factor and you are planning to pull often, I also would look into a diesel, but if your looking for the ocasional tow truck and a familly vehical, I like the 4.8. Its easy on the weekly expenses. I have had 3 things go wrong with the truck in 110k miles but of those 3 things 2 of them happened twice and 1 happened 3 times. I would say chevy needs to change these 3 parts.
Good luck

yes that truck does have the power! My buddy has one and it impressed the heck out of me. When I was looking for trucks the 23,098 price tag was right in the budget for me. If I had the extra 10k I would of definatly bought the diesel. Suppose it would all equal out in the end if you get an extra 100k miles on onejust the initial sticker shock (and the cost of a divorce if I would of came home with a 34k truck) Laughing out loud. Good luck with your truck plots1
hope it trats you well ans stay the heck out of the way of those walking lawn ornaments with shiny eyes at night!!!
