Still No LTZ 5.3/10 Speed?

[INGMWETRUST]

What happened to the 2021 Silverado 1500 LTZ 5.3 being available with the 10 speed?

is that still the game plan or did that idea get scrapped?

 

GM is stupid when it comes to making widely available to its customers.

It's only currently available on the LT TB and the HC (5.3L and 10spd). 

 

Very strange, for sure.

There are a couple of GM guys on here , hoping they chime in on why not. 

Ford has the 10 speed across their entire line, even their base engine 3.3 gets the 10 speed now.

Was that ever the game plan? Never heard anything about it.

Probably can't get tooling done fast enough for supply to keep up with demand.

3 transmissions and 6 engines...

GMC/Chev is about trim differences.

 

SLT is comparable with LTZ. 

 

On Sierra 10 speed is standard on AT4 and Denali.
