Re: New Truck question(s)
The other thing I would add is I think the lowest rear end you can get with a 6.2 10 speed is a 3.42. No 3.73 offered and I'm told with the 10 speed, the 3.42 is plenty. All 6.2's from 2014 and later are rated at 420hp and 460tq. Good luck with the search.652Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Truck question(s)
Just to clarify, you didn't say what year your truck is but unless its a 2014 (the only year you could get 420 hp 6.2 with a 6 speed trans), its likely the older LS based 6.2 with 403hp and 417tq. I had one of those and now how have 2015 6.2 (420hp) with the 8 speed and it tows much better. My 8 speed with the most recent fluid change works well, but everything I read and hear is the 10 behind the 6.2 which started production in 2019 for the trucks is awesome.

I don't think there is a bad choice to be made with any of the big 3 gas HD trucks. Find the dealer you like best and the truck and go from there. I totally agree with what others have said about the TFLT. It really bothers me how the only test they do towing is at altitute (i.e. Davis Dam). What does that really prove? The only vehicles which will do well there are diesels or turbocharged/supercharged gas motors. Really how many tow at 11K feet and keep it floored the whole time?279Views0likes0Comments
