Damn they are sexy in side!!!! They ride nice and the 5.3 has good power. A 6.2 isn't on a lot within 300 miles of my house so I had to drive a 5.3.

The 6 speed might be nice but I didn't really use it since most of my 30 min was in town. I was surprised that 1st gear wound so high I didn't pay attention to mph but it was a long as my 4l60e trans for sure. I don't know what ratio 1st is but I would have thought that the 6 speed would have utilized a lower first but it didn't seem that way. It also needs a lot of help with tuning because it takes a calendar year to shift!!

I don't know if it is the active fuel management or the 6 speed but there are times where there is no response when pushing the gas. Such as pulling back into the dealer. Coming from a coast, turning, then trying to accelerate it didn't want to go anywhere for what seemed like an eternity. Probably at least half a second or more.

I would buy one in a heart beat if I had $52,000 because they are awesome, heated steerin wheel, back up camera, ability to charge an entire footballs team's equipment(6 usb ports, two 110 outlets, 4 traditional lighter plugins, sd card slot, and an aux input), and super comfy seats.

 

The active fuel management gives it the laggy feeling, but I completely agree its a great truck, very comfortable, it is by far the nicest riding, and quietest riding vehicle I ever drove that wasn't considered a car.
