2015 GM Trucks will get 8 speed Transmission

I have an 8 speed, and it definitely does not hunt for gears.

And 10 even better than that... Then 12....

It starts to become a matter of diminishing returns at some point. Personally I wouldn't want a tranny that's always hunting between gears as that is what an 8-speed is going to do. 6-speeds seem more than enough to me but what do I know

Maybe they will now put the 6.2 in a 3/4 ton as well?

I know that the six speed was a big step in the right direction, so eight should be even better.

is that a 1/2 ton rated truck (brakes, frame and tires) to tow 12,000#

that is quite a load,

I wish my old truck had that 8 speed transmission.

420 HP 460# torque :C
