In regard to the claim of French engineering, I'd like to see some sort of proof source on that. This engine was being designed before there was a Stellantis.
I'm assuming you got this from my statement. I was highlighting Stelantis is a French company. I believe this I6 engine is based on the I4 engine that was designed in Italy.
So the Chevy that pulled the boat out of the water had an automatic transmission?????
Yes
Sounds like a driver issue to me.
Back when they first put autos in pickups the transmission was the weak link, and a large percentage of cars had manuals so to capacity was reduced for the automatics. Over time manual became rare in cars, and the automatics got better. Last I looked, they reduced tow capacity for manuals compared to auto.
