There will be very little difference between how the 4.8L and 5.3L handle towing a bass boat. Either will be more than adequate. But IMHO, the 5.3L is a superior engine and I'd opt for that unless someone was really selling the 4.8L cheap. In other words, I'd definitely prefer the 5.3L, but wouldn't automatically rule out a 4.8L truck if the deal was good and towing a bass boat is the most strain you're going to put on it.

thanks for the info guys

+1000 I have that exact setup and I love how my Tundra pulls! I definitely am not setting any records for fuel efficiency, but once you get past that, the Tundra 5.7 is a towing machine!

6.2.l in the chevy or gmc or the 5.4 l ford or any diesel truck will be the best for the $ you want to spend 4x4 i would get if you can afford it

I have a 2008 z714x4 5.3l and when I have it on cruise at 60 I get 21mpg when im doing 75 or 80mph I get 17.2 mpg

That's good to know, does yours drop out cylinders too when not needed?

Heres my new baby

^^^^

It only does it when you're going down hill but I've had my truck since it had 36,000 miles and now I have 80,000 and no problems so far

well scratch that, something bad happened today, I got my truck broken into while I was at work and some jackasses stole my down payment cash I had right in front the bay door at work after I got back from the bank, So... so much for new pickup

makes me so Mad someone could do that, I had 10,000 cash I had from truck I just sold for the down payment and now I have nothing.

Man that sucks. I would never leave 10,000 cash in my truck. Thats crazy.

I know it wasn't a smart call on my part but I figured it would be safer there than inside the shop. didn't even think of someone coming up in the middle of the shop yard and breaking into it in broad daylight. Next time I will definatley get a cashiers check. Makes me sick

Sorry to hear that. Tough break.
