that is quite a load,

I wish my old truck had that 8 speed transmission.

Not clear from this article whether the 1/2 ton will get a tow rating that high, or if they are going to offer the 6.2/8 speed combo in the 3/4 and 1T trucks as well.

Surprised they are going home-grown on the design and not using Aisin or other....although the TH 400 and 4L80E were GM home grown and good strong transmissions.
