Here are the wants:
1. It fits the garage. This limits the length to about 225 inches.
2. No AFM/DOD.
3. V8 Power and performance potential
4. 4x4 desirable

To meet #1 and #2, it looks like a 2007 or earlier GM extended cab pickup will fit the bill, as long as the bed is limited to 5.75 feet. The crew/extra cab or 6.5 foot will make it too long.

Any thoughts about the performance potential of the 5.3 and how to wake it up?

I also thought about a 5.3L Chevy Colorado from 2010 to 2012, but would these have AFM?

Thanks for any insights!

I don't know what to recommend with a v8 but i wouldn't have any Chevy if it was given to me.

There are tons of great options out there that aren't v8's or GM products.

Use some imagination.
