Damn, with a 1st gear ratio like that, the six speed out scoot off the line.

Of course that's assuming current axle ratios.

ORIGINAL: ZX1100F1

The 2007 Tahoe's are scheduled to be built thru June 15th, then the plant will close and build on the 08 models will commence on or about June 25th.
The 6-speed auto will become standard in all the 2008 1500 products. (Tahoe, Suburban, Avalanche, Silverado etc).
There will also be a Hybrid Tahoe for 2008 that will get 4-5 more mpg.
When this actually going to happen???

I apologize.
I spoke too soon back several months ago, it was the plan then but that has changed as of the 08 launch.

The 1500 6.0L product will all receive the new 6-speed tranny but the rest of the 1500 line-up won't get it until 2009.

The 08 Tahoe Hybrid is going to a have a CVT like transmission though.
