35,500 for 2020 GM's
Just saw an another site where GM has released their tow ratings for their 2020 HD trucks. They are claiming 35,500 trailer (increase of 52% over current trucks), 11.5" rear gear on 2500's 12" on 3500...

Again, mind blown.....
We now have 7-800hp cars, 500hp trucks and 900-1000 ft lb diesel pickups that are rated to tow only a couple tons shy of a typical Class8 legal load!
This is absolutely nuts in the eyes of every gearhead alive ( and a few dead ones may be rolling over as well).
And at the same time you can get a legit electric econo car that gets infinite miles to the gallon and will haul people reliably and comfortably and never see a gas pump.
As automobile consumers we are truly blessed and, man, I really need a Hellcat to park next to a new Dmax or Ram!
All that, and it seems like we get desensitized or lose perspective of how advanced our modern vehicles are. Can you imagine the racers of the 60's reaction if someone told them you could pick up regular sports car, not some limited edition car, and with a little work run in the 11's.
And these are more streetable and easy to drive than the 13 second cars of years past.
