I don't care if Chevy made an 9 speed auto tranny, and rated at 900HP. Damn things still going to look ugly

I think the GMC looks good. I think 400hp would be nice but 417lb ft seems a little low.
A lot of us may not like how these GMs look but I'll bet they sell a whole bunch. Maybe more that the F-series?
Hey Ford! Did you notice us here? The people buying your vehicles? We've been telling you what we want. GM and DC have been listening. Got anything to offer us?

Why doesn't Ford have the Auto 4WD feature on the F150? I know when I bought my 02 I was disappointed that it didn't have it but the Explorers did.
That was a feature that I thought made sense.

Ford is listening just not to u lol
Ford despite huge losses here in north America made a scant 48 million dollars world wide unlike gm who lost god knows how much. Fords sales while still down in the last quarter were not as far south as Gm or DC. If you really read into all the financial stuff youll see that FoMoCo looks to be the only American company that will survive into the future. They are starting to release some decent cars while still a bit behind Yota they are lightyears ahead of their GM counterparts.
Pushrod motors are outdated period.
The SOHC is a more advanced design than the pushrod. The Nissan and the new Yota i think are both DOHC which is even a step higher. GM needs a new engine and so does Ford. People are going to demand new technology. GM is not listening. That is why GM will die....they continue to shove outdated technology down peoples throats.
By the way the 5.3 rated at 310/335 and the 6.0 345/380 both get the carryover tranny (real impressive)

I think every dumb thing Ford has done in the past 20 years is a direct result of bean counters getting involved.
