Yep, I think that was the clear implication. I can pretty much guarantee our next vehicle will be an EV. Likely replace the GC and we'll keep the truck. We love the truck and it averages ~200Km more a tank (same sized tank) as the Jeep which may become more relevant when Trudy's Clean Fuel Standard comes into effect.They will be electrifying vehicles

Bought a 2018 Silverado hoping it would work and be a good thing, turned out not so much. Truck seemed confused at speeds between 30-50, as the thing shifted in and out of V8 mode, with the transmission seemingly utterly confused throughout the whole āprocessā. Developed a check engine light at 35,000 miles (misfire), then a torque converter shudder at 40,000 miles. Oil consumption since day one. Go to the Chevy forums and yup...transmission failures due to the back and forth shifting/accommodating V4 mode, collapsed lifters and oil consumption. Traded the truck in at 50,000 miles.
Wanted to like it...liked the fuel economy...didnāt like my $40,000 dollar truck feeling like it was going to grenade a transmission or drop a lifter at 50,000 miles. Well maintained, babied...couldnāt handle driving up simple hills on the highway.
I had a 2018 Silverado Z71 for 2 years ā¦ it was rare for it to ever use 4 cylinder mode - in fact I posted that here and some concluded it was the 3.08 gearing.Of course-GM sells in excess of 40,000 units of these trucks (Silverado/Sierra combined) each and every month. The complaints come with the "nuances" of the technology (think start/stop) and new truck owners unfamiliar with what the system does. If you search you will find 100,000 mile trucks with this tech that are not having issues.
On the flip side, you will find trucks with not even 10,000 miles having those issues.Of course-GM sells in excess of 40,000 units of these trucks (Silverado/Sierra combined) each and every month.

I have not experienced your issues with any constant degree. Also-while the six speeds are not the most refined transmission around they are not failing in any large numbers-at all.
Amen although we have the CVT in our CR-V, and while it does feel like a slushbox, for that type of vehicle, it's a good choice. And fluid changes are a breeze with it, thankfully.Cylinder deactivation, start/stop, and CVT transmissions. The unholy trinity for many BITOGers, including me.
Well, it was sounding good until your last sentenceMustang is the first ground up engineered (as all electric) performance car built by a major auto manufacturer. It will put Tesla to shame and everybody will want one. The truck is still the bones of the F150, but it has had a major engineering effort to create the first all electric pickup truck built by a major manufacturer. It will be the most powerful F150 to date, and everybody that wants a pickup will want one. Also, no fluids to change, except brake fluid and maybe power steering.
Lol, but thatās what you just did.I had a 2018 Silverado Z71 for 2 years ā¦ it was rare for it to ever use 4 cylinder mode - in fact I posted that here and some concluded it was the 3.08 gearing.
As for oil consumption? Never any of mine ā¦ but Iām pretty conservative with break in and early oil change
Iām a long term GM buyer ā¦ so donāt turn to Internet for that ā¦ Why would I trust them to start with
Meaning I donāt trust the forums that were mentioned ā¦ this is my only oneLol, but thatās what you just did.
Could be why I said "maybe power steering fluid."Well, it was sounding good until your last sentence
Hardly any dont have electric steering these days
Here you go, this is all posted just the past couple weeks on the same website, without even looking. Thereās ASE master techs on there that descibe the 6-speed failures, why it happens and how they replace them every single day at the dealer. Torque converter shudders, causing pieces of the transmission pump to grind and send pierces through the valve body.Of course-GM sells in excess of 40,000 units of these trucks (Silverado/Sierra combined) each and every month.

Cadillac had that V8 in the late 70's that went from 8 to 6 and sometimes 4. What a piece of garbage. I guess the idea was have it running only on 4 for the highway. Fords new all electric Mustang coming out soon and the F150 all electric option coming out in 2022 will change the world.

6L80e tq converter going out, any info on aftermarket converters?
I've read/heard a couple of things about people saying they had trouble with aftermarket converters but when I ask them what they didn't like, what brand, what problems.....I get ghosted. I have been considering doing a 3000-3200 stall anyway but now it looks like I'll have to replace it if chang...www.gm-trucks.com
2014 silverado weird transmission issue
Hi everyone. I have a 2014 silverado 1500 ltz z71 4x4 about 150k miles. The other day I drove home from work and all was fine. Left later and the truck started acting weird. Under normal acceleration at around 45mph the truck acts as it is shifting up and down constantly or going in and out of ov...www.gm-trucks.com

2014 6 speed harsh shifts first 15 min driving
So my truck has always had a harsh shift 1-2 and 2-3 in the morning until trans temp is around 120-150 then shift smooth. I was alway told itās the programming holding shifts longer to warm it up but I was in a friends 2014 Silverado and his is smooth shifting all the time even on cold starts and...www.gm-trucks.com
As for the AFM/collapsible lifters??
I agree, not as bad as people say.
We should listen to you onGM will be out of business in 4 years. They cannot keep up with the times, and come up with garbage ideas like 8-6-4. That horse has been beat dead years ago. But customers keep buying them for some reason.
