The 6.0L will be in the next generation of Cadillac Escalade, EXT, ESV, GMC Yukon Denali, Denali XL, GMC Sierra Denali and Chevrolet Silverado SS Supercharged.

I've heard the 6.0L won't be the big dog for LS based gas motors anymore.

whats the point in offering it if it only is available in the upper level vehicles. man i hate chevy. i can just buy a 6.0 and get that hp a lot cheaper doing a conversion. and with all the weight of those vehicles a dodge skittle will still spank those trucks. just like gm has always done, bending people over and not using any lubricant

You said it. Chevy likes to toy with our heads. Even when they came out with the 454 SS, it only had 230 hp. Wow.
