DG it’s the only pic I had of a 2018, so my fault on that. The point I was trying to make is the 2018 is far better looking than the 2019. Retro isn’t required, but since “new” is butt ugly across the board, what’s next?

Looks like the rumor is that it is not really an Allison transmission, but simply has the name on it and Allison tested it.

I believe Allison has a no compete clause with GM as part of the spin off that GM light trucks(pickups) will be the only ones factory installed with Allison transmissions. Every GM HD pickup installed with an Allison for almost 2 decades has been a so called Allison Branded transmission since the Baltimore plant where it's built in is a GM plant. I'm fine with that.

And ALL Allison transmissions prior to the spin off were GM transmissions....yes?....so just because you sell off a product you designed and labored over for decades doesn't mean you forget how to still make it. I get it about some who thinks this is somewhat of a lesser design technically, but I do not in the least bit believe this to be true.

I am seriously considering the move up to a 2500 for my next truck as it will be the retirement vehicle. I would want it for towing capability unless we decide on a drivable RV over a trailer. I don't like the LT but I could live with the High Country. I have a 2015 half ton High Country now that I love. However I am about 3-4 years away from the upgrade so they may tweak the design by then.
