And the Silvy really needs the 6 speed and the 6.2, like now at the very least. Its pretty lame how GM is reserving it for the 45K Denali instead of the lower models.

By mid 2008, they'll all Vortec Max models will switch to the 6.2L and all trucks will have six speed trannies. What consumer reports did was idiotic, though. I just hope all the Tundra 5.7 owners have fun changing that timing belt!
