2010 to a 2024 model year towing question ?


Recommended Posts

Hi group, I have a 2010 double cab Silverado z71 4x4 with a 5.3 and 3.08 gears. I also pull a 5000 pound fiberglass Escape 5.0 5th wheel camper ( designed for a 1/2 ton). 
 

the truck does not really have a ton of power in the hills and on take off but pulls great otherwise. I attribute that to the gears in the rearend and the number of trans gears. 
 

would I notice a huge difference and be MUCH happier with a newer 2024 Silverado, crew cab, max tow with the 5.3 and the 3.42 gears and 10 speed trans? Noticeable difference? My understanding this has about 35 more HP and about 40ft/pounds more torque then my 2010 5.3. Is this noticeable? 
 

I like the 6.2 engine but too many problems I see guys having with bearings, rods, lifters , etc…….more then just the 5.3 lifters that are out there. 
 

I welcome your input from those who have ad both experiences with the above combos……
