    I’d rather take an underpowered V8 that passes emissions without AFM or thin butter lubricating oil.

    The dipsticks they really need to get rid of are running GM....

    During the reveal an engineer was asked about DFM. He said it hasn't changed. Well, that's all I needed to hear. No chance at all I'd buy one since they're using the same DFM system.

    Gotta be crazy to buy the new v8. Maybe after a few years, but not now.

    There is no reason GM can't have a dipstick along with the electronic oil level guage. Our 2020 VW Tiguan has both.

    The amount of fuel saved by a variable displacement oil pump is so small it gets lost in the data scatter.

    Plastic components will have a failure point, but most will probably fail just after the warranty period.

    Seems like GM and Toyota are in a race for who builds the worst engine?

    Towing numbers being odd for the 6.6L is because it's only available in the ZR2 and High Country. Payload/suspension/etc likely the cause.

    @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-jQhfLhX8I&amp;t=720">12:00</a> It is proven, proven to be garbage.

    I think the 5 7 has a higher tow rating because of trim levels that the &nbsp;larger engine comes with has more junk in it which reduces towing capacity
