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...

Did GM mention why now it's important to be able to tow over 22,300# with a crew 4x4 and it was not important in 2018?
Lame excuse is all it was because the 3.73 gearing and the Allison was not able to tow more in the SAE forward and reverse hill start test. If they could have pulled more they sure would have.
And now they use 3.42s behind the Duramax/10 speed auto.
HEY, I am a BIG proponent for 3.42's behind the AISIN as it's rated at over 29k combined load. 5th gear at 1,750 same as 4.10's in 6th at 60.
If I buy a 2020 and they still have the 6 speed AISIN I most likely will buy the 3.42's and tow in 5th. YES even towing my 33-35k combined. BONUS is much better solo mileage.
