About time Chevy did something about their god awful 4 speed tranny.

I see the 5.4 Ford engine is still the weakest of the group.

When the Titan turns into a Dodge, I might have to look at the 6.2/6 speed Chevy combo.

Yup, Ford still brigging up the rear. I have to admit that 6.2/6 speed combo looks pretty sweet on paper.

If its like the set-up in the GMC the tundra will still be quicker, GM needs to get more to the wheels.

I agree it does except when it comes to towing? The 6spd with more HP has a less towing capacity? Seems backward to me

i think it has to do w/ the final drive ratio, not just the hp/tq
