[QUOTE="SOCOMech, post: 9627441, member: 102424"] I think it depends on whether or not you plan to off road it. If it's more of a DD that you'll stick to pavemnet, then you'll probably be o.k with the 5.4. If you do plan on off roading, no doubt about it, 6.2 all the way. The 6.2 is noticeably different from the 5.4 on the street as well though in that you can really feel just how much easier it is for that 5800-6000lbs. to scoot along. I mean hell, mine dyno'd more to the wheels than a 5.4 makes at the crank so, it should move better right, lol?
