Funny how things change. The 6.2 used to look great for power, but the EcoBoost is competitive in HP but has considerably more torque. Same with the new 3.5 turbo from Toyota. And now Stellantis has the Hurricane that is certainly going to be used in the RAMs with 510 HP.
GM needs to step up their game.

Amazing the power they can squeeze out of those 3.5 L V6 engines.

I think I like the new Toyota powertrain the best for a half ton. Haven't driven one, that's just based on a few reviews and Toyota's reputation.

It has not been a smooth overall roll out for their new powertrain so far.

I would much rather have a GMC with a 6.2 vs the new turbo plagued ugly as sin Toyota Tundra.
Having said that I know someone who has a new 2021 Tahoe that had to have the lifters replaced due to a surging problem this year.

Probably from underneath the truck. It looks like there's 3 belts.
1. Water pump and alternator (Remove first from top)
2. AC compressor (Remove second from bottom)
3. Power steering pump (Remove third from bottom) Not 100% this is a power steering pump based on the looks
