Any real time towing with this engine out there?
For whatever it's worth, Motor Trend had some pretty negative comments about it and the 6 speed trans in the truck of the year testing in the latest issue.
I’ve been looking for info too, and I’ve seen a couple of videos from the press event in Oregon that testers made some comments about the trans.
I test drove a Chevy and Ram gasser back to back, and the Ram 8spd shifted much better than the Chevy. The Chevy when I turned and started up a hill was turning like 1200 rpm, and tried to stay in that gear and bog. It eventually downshifted to over 2500rpm.
I really want to stay with Chevy since my current one has been great for 17 years and 238k miles, but after the test drive the only reason I’m still considering Chevy is how good my old one has been.
