Chevy Silverado face-lift adds LED lighting, 8-speed automatic, safety gear
GM is expected to offer a 10-speed automatic, perhaps as early as the 2017 model year, under a joint venture with Ford to produce nine-speed automatics for front-wheel-drive vehicles and 10-speed automatics for rear-wheel-drive vehicles.

Yay! More garrishly slab-sided bunkum. Is the pendulum setting itself to swing back in the direction of decently proportioned workhorses?

Article doesn't explain "safety gear". Any idea what it is?

I just couldn't resist when they wrote gear and transmixer in the same sentence.theholycow wrote:Article doesn't explain "safety gear". Any idea what it is?
I think they meant lane departure warnings, back-m-up camera, etc. - not really "Safety Gear" as much as "Safety Systems" IMAO.
