Re: Got to love GM’s paper thin sheet metal

What I don't get is why GM went to IFS for all models of 4x4 trucks. In my opinion, Ford did it right by giving the F150 IFS, but letting the Super Duties have a solid front axle. Honestly, who's expecting a 3/4 or 1 ton truck to ride like a car ?

What's also sad is that GM does not offer manual transmissions anymore with any truck. Ford and Dodge have also done this with the half tons, but you can still get a manual in their 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. I don't understand why GM made the ZF6 equipped trucks so rare. It's not because they don't sell, because Ford and Dodge sell plenty of clutch equipped trucks.
