Another 4 speeds won't make a bit of difference one way or another in the real world. Pulling a grade you're going to be in the same range 6 speed or 10. Might make a difference in a forum or waterhole BS session I suppose.
Ike? Who cares? Maybe someone who is pulling overloaded gooseneck manure wagons from Denver to Silverthorne twice a day, 6 days a week.
Truck threads are amusing. Man those are ugly. That's coming from someone who owns another brand, and never would have bought the ugly brand regardless.
Now if one of the detractors happened to buy one, it would suddenly be the most beautiful thing on the planet.
It might behoove some of you folks to set up a firewall and block those midlife crisis afflicted Boneheads at TFL truck.
I think it does matter. The gas engine would clearly benfit from more gears. Keeping it in the optiminum gear would certainly make it a better towing experience. The additional 4 gears would help with that. I may not run the IKE, but I do run the Teton Pass loaded and so do a countless RVers. The better it performs on the IKE, the better will perform for everyone else. Nothing wronge in my mind about having a discussion about that.
As for the looks, I agree it gives those who werent going to buy one a new talking point, since the tow spec issue is no longer present. Even though few towed heavy enough to exceed the prior tow limits. With GMC offering a different look, it gives those who are truly interested, another option.
