With the Max package you get the Vortec Max 6.0L engine that has AFM and VVT. Along with that you are able to get the MAX towing package which increases your towing capacity to 10,500 lbs, gives you a heavier 9.5" rear end and transmission, disc brakes in the back, and of course all the other towing goodies that come with that package.

 

Oh yea, and that kickass red badge on the side of the truck....

Clarification:

 

You do NOT need to get the Max Trailering Pkg (NHT) with the 6.0 in order to get the 9.5" HD rear end and rear disc brakes. All Vmax 6.0's (with or without NHT pkg) get the same drivetrain (4L70E tranny, HD 9.5" rear end) and rear disc brakes (assuming you get Stabilitrak). The 6.0's also get external engine oil cooling, external tranny cooling and the engine has a deep-skirt, 6-bolt main block.

 

The NHT pkg means you get G80, 4.10 gears and beefier springs. Non-NHT Vmax's get 3.73 gears and the G80 must be ordered ala carte, as well as the HD trailering pkg.

 

NHT trucks ONLY come with 17" wheels also.

Whoa Whoa... what?

 

Does that mean I've got the 4L70E and the 9.5" HD rear end because I've got the HD Trailering package!?

Then you can upgrade to 20s because the 17s are too small. Then you decide the 20s are too big, so you go to 16s. Isn't that right Jeff?

well i understood some of that lol. what is the 9.5 rear end? and NHT? so the MAX is pretty much the same as a 1500HD?

 

9.5" is the diameter of the ring gear in the differential. NHT is the RPO (regular production optioni) code for the Max Trailering Package. I believe the 1500HD has a heavier frame.

Correct, plus the HD front axle (8 lug hubs) and the full floating rear diff, as opposed to the semi floater in a VMax

I don't have the NHT pkg, I have the 3.73's so I was able to give them $1200 to upgrade to 20" wheels so I could sell them for $900 a year later after I realized 20" wheels are total CRAP!!! :lol:

You still got 9000 miles out of them. $300 bucks to look cool for that long is a steal of a deal :lol:

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
