    He's 86 years old and still writes for the back page of Road and Track.

    No adaptive cruise, no magnetorheliological suspension, and a face that looks like a Star Wars Storm Trooper in white. I had the first two in a GMC Denali and grew to like those features. No reason Chevy can't do the same. I'll bet it's some kind of corporate decision. I'd like to hear Bob Lutz expound on this. Other than that, the 10-speed and less weight would be nice but not enough to tempt me away from my current ride.

    Now at 848 miles on my '18 8 speed it's smooth as butter. Hope it's OK at 1000 miles.

    Follow on post as I learn this truck; set the follow distance to the shortest. As long as you pay attention it does just fine in mentioned 4 lane curvy roads. And then I let it handle speed right on down to a stop. It cut out at 6 mph, but braking and keeping distance until then. Just an FY'allsY. (That's the way we say it in the south.)

    Reading through this thread it seems to be a total crap shoot whether the truck tranny misbehaves or not. My 2016 Chevy with 6.2/8 got better over miles but never right. Only way to make it good was run in tow haul mode which just holds the shifts. Now my 2017 6.2/8 is perfect. No tranny shifting issues at all in noodle or sport mode. It's a mystery.

    The width of the follow beam seems to be too wide. Here in the mountains most any winding of the road makes it brake. On straight running it's fine, but doesn't seem to do well when the road isn't mostly straight. I would like to turn it off for some roads and leave it on for others....or be able to narrow the follow beam.

    Just traded into a 2017 Denali 6.2l 8 speed and it's perfect. Smooth shifting all the time. Much better than my 2016 Chevy.

    As a data point for dealer service cost as my free services are gone, I recently had an oil/filter change, tire rotation. 2016 6.2L, 16,086 miles. $53.00 complete which I consider quite reasonable.

    My Grand Cherokee 8 speed is flawless. To get my truck to behave I use Tow/haul mode. Much better but not as good as the GC 8 speed.

    2016 6.2 HighCountry. Tranny is nice until it needs a gentle downshift and then it does is hard. Here in the mountains the best way to drive it is in Tow Mode as it keeps it in gear. Good part is if you need to hammer it or tow it, no problems.
