I read that on Yahoo yesterday. As a driver of GMC trucks, currently 2015 Sierra SLT 4x4, Premium Plus, and 6 others in the past 20 years; plus having sold them for over 4 years back in the early 2000's I can tell you that it will be a hard sell for GM. Even if the HP and Torque ratings are about equal it its going to be hard to sell the diehard GM pickup customer to switch from a V8 to a 4 cylinder.
I know you are going to say that Ford has done it, but I question in how many numbers. My uncle has purchased several new Ford pickups in the past 10 years and all, including his 2015 and his current 2018 have had V8's. He claims his dealer stocks more V8's than he does the EcoBoosts. I guess we'll see.
