I have no complaints about the 6 speed in my 2018 ZR2 but 2 more gears would be fine.
Has anyone looked into the bed shape compared to the 2nd generation (2015-2022)? I'm wondering if my OVRLND camper would fit on the new body. I'm guessing Jay would know but I don't want to bother him yet.
The new truck looks great with more ground clearance and (possibly) better engine. The one thing I spotted that is a potential deal breaker for me is the auto start-stop that resets after every power off. Unless there is a way to completely disable that I'm out. With GM vehicles it's usually not hard to disable it luckily.
I don't see any fuel efficiency EPA numbers yet on the Chevy website. With the same size fuel tank I'm hoping the new gasser is close to the old diesel.
My 2018 is completely dialed in, leveled and slightly lifted with King suspension, OVRLND, interior buildout kitchen and storage that bolts to the bed, radio, ditch lights, and DC power connection for the camper so I doubt I would switch but it's good to have options available if I ever feel like it.
