Hucky and 3HUMMER - well I think the drivetrain is alot smoother than before. The shifts are not as noticable. I havent really stomped it down too much being its new so I am not sure how noticeable the added power is from full throttle. It might be hard to tell since the tranny is now a 6 speed, so two parameters have changed, both engine and tranny. I see the new brochure is touting a 7.8 or so 0-60 time, and I believe the old truck would do it in about 10 seconds. I did notice it seems to get to 60 MPH faster. So without any data to back it up, it feels quicker. I'll have to get out on the expressway and open it up from a standing stop and see how it winds out.
One thing I did notice is the exhaust is quite a bit louder. Almost sounds like an aftermarket cat back system. You dont hear it inside, but outside its got a very throaty rumble to it. I like it!
Other things I've noticed...gone are the interior squeaks...my 06 didnt have alot of them, but enough to be annoying at times. Fit and finish inside is lightyears better over the fit and finish of the 06.
I think the new wheels will NOT have the pitting issues that us northern folks have with the salted winter roads. Back up camera is a cool option. Nav system takes some getting used to finding things on it touch screen as far as system controls for the stereo etc.
Seems as if the transfer case is alot quieter when shifting into low range.
Seats seem firmer than the other ones, but I think a tad more comfortable....
As always....it gets TONS of looks...but then again...most Hummers do!
