Not the same.  GM took some design cues from the work they did with Ford on the half ton transmissions, but the Allison-branded transmission is NOT designed by, at, or with Ford.  Let the assistant chief engineer tell you.

Designed by GM with input from, and approval by Allison.  No changes are made to this design without Allison's testing and approval per the licensing agreement.  Built by GM.

 

Ya i've seen that video before. The transmissions are basically the same. Plenty of vids out there breaking them down part by part showing you the very slight difference. They are actually both made in Ohio. I'll stick to the experts opinion over a spokesman.

I have a 2024 Silverado HD LTZ gasser.  The new Chevy front ends look way better than that abortion they had in the previous years.  I like the looks much better than the new SuperDuty.  Feels like Ford took a step backwards in the looks department on the new trucks.

Allison branded tranny is a brick shithouse too.  Would work well for plowing.

New GM interiors jumped Ram IMO.  RAM might look slightly nicer but they took away too many of the important buttons on the RAM and put them on the screen.  GM still has a button for everything.

Ride quality is surprisingly good, as is the gas mileage with the 6.6L.  I've seen 18.5 hand-calculated on interstate runs if I can keep it under 80.

New Chevy HD’s ride unreal good for such a big truck

My brother has one like that. Same color, a Big Horn. Has treated him will. I drove it last spring, it is more refined compared to my 2017 (gen 4) Big Horn. 

 

FWIW - My 2017 has essentially the same drive train, and at 90,000 miles has not missed a beat, other than tires, brakes, and two batteries (second one went into the truck an hour ago).

$115,000 for the new TRX on the local lot.  :bc:

Neal

Trudeau put a luxury tax on vehicles over 100k. A 115k TRX would have around a $7500 tax
