Chevy weighs 1000 lbs less, has a 6 speed tranny (vs 5 and 4) and makes the most power at the lowest RPM. Where's that Dana 60 though???
Anyway, props to Chevy.
In the test they said they wanted to test the "heavy duty trucks", not for hauling the kids around, etc... and then they said they chose automatic cause it was easier to manage? Wankers!Originally Posted by Snatch Adams

No Dana 60 is needed when you're running 33" tires and not doing a whole lot of heavy off roading.
Give me an Allison auto any day over a NV or ZF.

2) They use auto - They're so impressed with the alison downshifting down hills? woo woo, buy a standard truck and do it yourself with 1000 less moving breakable wearable parts
3) They use autos - isnt the duramax turned down quite a bit behind a standard tranny?
4) This one I could be wrong on - Mega cab - they use a megacab which is only 14" shorter overall then a ford crew cab, but then say its going to pull worse cause it only has a 6'-4" bed?
5) Price - they ***** about the price of the dodge but its the only one with navigation system, plus the mega cab is brand new oh yeah and its ugly as my ass.
Anyways those are mythoughts on why this is gay.

I sure hope they have better luck with the getrag this time around, behind the 12v's they sucked.Originally Posted by Snatch Adams
