Edmunds full size truck test - new Silverado, Titan and Tundra

[gmcbob]

Well, what are everybody's thoughts on this? The Tundra won, but it sounds like they really liked the Silverado a lot.

Here's my crosspost from the thread in Other Guys about this comparison.

GM deserved that.

No reason for that 4 speed in there. This is 2007, not the 1980's.

I would be willing to bet that the 6.0 liter with the 6 speed would be every bit as quick as the Tundra.

Throw the Escalade powertrain in there and it's game over for Toyota.

Too bad GM always has to leave something out. They fixed everything else in the Silverado but powertrains took a backseat as a result.

I also would have liked to see a Sierra in the test. Isn't it a few hundred pounds lighter than the Silvy?

It's really just sad that it's not going to be until MY08 (if we're lucky) that these trucks get the 6 speed. They really milked that 4 speed for all that it's worth and then some.
