Backing the 6.0L V-8 is a new Hydra-Matic 4L70-E electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission. It debuts in the TrailBlazer SS and was developed to handle the high horsepower and high torque loads of performance-oriented light-duty vehicles. Special high-strength and heat-treated materials are used throughout the 4L70-E to ensure it delivers smooth, dependable shifting.
Gear ratios (:1):
First: 3.06
Second: 1.62
Third: 1.00
Fourth: 0.69
Reverse: 2.29

I'm also really surprised Chevy is sticking with the extracab on these. Everyone I know is buying or wanting to buy the crew cabs now. Nothing like being able to seat 5 REAL guys and still haul some serious ***!
