Looking at possibly buying a new 2023 Silverado WT 4x4 with the 8L90 and 2.7 Turbo Max, Crew Cab Standard box. Discounts are getting pretty good as inventory of trucks are piling up.
Have the 8L90 transmission issues been sorted for the 2023 model year or are these transmissions still problematic? Also it seems as if the GM 10 speed and the used trucks with 6 speeds are not that great either.
Is the 10 speed in the new Tundra a less risky choice for long term ownership? It will cost more, but also retain more of its value on trade or resale.
No intended towing, but do plan on keeping 20 years or so.
My 1997 Ram 1500 4x4 with the 46RE has been fine for 27 years, 102,000 miles and Dodge is known for tranny issues. I do service (fluid and filter) every 30,000 miles.
