The 5.3 is plently of power, but even then, questionable on very steep inclines. Though my wife loves her HOE.

Don't be so quick to blame GM for installing the 4.8 in those trucks..or even the 4.3 V6..Look towards the Goverment and the CAFE standards.
To meet the CAFE standards, the automotive manufactors have to smaller engines to meet fuel mileage standards........
It is up to you, the consumer to purchase the vehicle that fits your needs. You need to educate yourself about the vehicle you are about to purchase and deal with a dealer who will meet your needs.
