Are you kidding about the transmission???

This is the highest-tech fullsize truck GM has ever built and they're not using the real 6-speed from the Escalade and Denali? Why the heck not?

Seems that they could get another 1 or 2 mpg out of it. Oh well - I guess I should have figured they'd find a way to skimp.

I do wish they'd offer this hybrid powertrain in the "base" model - with cloth seats, manual AC, no nav system. It would be nice to get this vehicle for $35k.

By the way - I've noticed that Cadillac in your posts - why did you get the small engine, and not the full-size 500 ci? ;-)
