As we told you on Friday, it's code-named "C3XX," and it'll be put into heavy and light-duty rotation beginning in 2012 as a replacement for the GMT-900 pickups. Well, using the mystical and magical powers of a little web search site called Google, Levine found himself all sorts of fun facts — such as the news the next platform's powertrain options will include:
...a new 'Gen V' 6.2-liter dual overhead cam (DOHC) V8 engine - a major departure from GM's traditional overhead valve (OHV) pushrod engine design used in its trucks, like the 'Gen IV' 403-horsepower / 417 lb-feet L92 6.2-liter V8 under the hood of the GMC Sierra Denali. The only DOHC V8 GM currently offers is Cadillac's 320-hp / 310 lb-ft 4.6-liter Northstar engine.
But wait, there's more — head on over to PickupTruck for the rest of the hot engine action. [via PickupTruck] More »

And really, that's all we know — in 2012 (2013 for the Arlington, Texas plant), C3XX will be the new GMT-900. That is all. More »
