Thanks didn't know that, and theirs a few for 41k locally, sounds like a better option over getting the Texas edition.

My new company truck is a 8spd 5.3 4x4, my previous company truck was a 2013 f150 5.0 4x4! Last week I was towing a trailer about 6k lbs, I've towed the same load many times with the ford, 65-70mph country roads with smalls hills! Going down a grade or coming to a stop the ford had aggressive engine breaking and the Silverado doesn't seem to want to downshift to allow engine breaking! Both in tow haul mode, I would set cruise on the Silverado and it would exceed the cruise set point by 10mph going down hill and the f150 would not go any higher then 3mph over the set point! Besides that I have really enjoyed driving the Silverado, I'm ready to upgrade my personal vehicle! I have always had Toyota's but thinking about jumping ship this time around!

Thinking about buying a 2021 Texas edition with a 5.3 and the z71 package, I would like to get a 10spd but trying to keep the purchase price below 40k! Has all the issues been resolved with the 8spd or is better to get a higher trim that has the 5.3/10spd combo?
