Chevy and GMC dealers have a hard time getting around the fact that their trucks don't offer 6 speed transmissions. That single question, unfortunately stops the sales pitch dead. It goes no further.
Like everyone else has said, GM needs to drop 6 speeds into their trucks and they need to get an advertising clue. GM has no one else to blame but themselves. If the Tundra was truly a bad truck, it wouldn't sell. Want proof? Look at the past Tundras. Toyota offered incentive after incentive on them. People weren't buying. The new Tunda is a different story. It has people's attention. I work with three Tundra converts: Two former GM and on Ford owner. They all have said hands down, the Tundra is a better truck. They didn't say it was a better deal. They say it is a better truck.
That should be getting GM's attention. But it won't. GM will squander, cut corners and deny themselves into oblivion. We're watching it happen. "Competetive" won't work anymore. GM has to build clear, class leading vehicles.

I can't say you're too far off but it doesn't mean I agree with the Tundra being the better truck I know a few new Tundra buyers that feel that way about it.
