Default Is there something wrong with my truck? (0-60 times)

I just bought a used 2010 silverado cc 4X4 with the 6.2 with 80K miles. It's completely stock besides a mit tube and air filter.

I can only hit a 0-60 time of about 7 seconds...I use 91 gas and I am also at an elevation of 4300 ft, but does that make much of a difference?

I see videos of other 6.2s on youtube and even ecoboosts running a 6 ish and even new 6.2s running sub 6.

I have new plugs/wires and just cleaned throttle body, truck has no CELs. Am I making something out of nothing?

I would also say elevation. My 2007.5 NNBS ECSB 4x4 LTZ 5.3/4 Speed stock at 2,000 ft above sea level, 80 degree day running 91 did 7.3 seconds 0-60.

You should be able to run low to mid 6's stock.

I do know that GM did some 0-60 times on the 2016's. A 2016 Crew Cab Standard Bed 4x4 LTZ with the 6.2/8Speed, 3.42 gears (Max Tow Package), Truck weighed in at 5600 LBS ( Heaviest configuration on a 1500) and it ran a 5.6 second 0-60. Obviously this is in perfect conditions but still damn fast.
