For the 1500 GM rigs, the 2014 and later models have the 6 sp. Few and far between. Been looking over the last few months. Lots of newer ones like "I" want. Used......tougher options......

The 2500/3500 rigs got a 6 sp for the gas rigs about 2010 IIRC. I am recalling seeing a 2008 recently that had the 6 sp auto in it. 2010 for positive.
