On the 4.8, I bought a new Silverado 4 door a year ago with the 4.8 and 4 speed. Has the Tow-Haul shift pattern modifier.
I traded in a 4.7, 5 speed and a 5.x Hemi 5 speed (2 trucks, both with tow hawl) on this little Chevy cause I felt that I didn't need a lot of power any more and I liked the LS version of the truck which didn't have so many bells and whistles.
