Nice! What’s your build number? I’m looking at one around 15000.
I test drove an automatic recently. The transmission was smooth, but manual is just more fun for me. The manual also has less power only because of a reduced redline due to flywheel chattering at high revs.
Last spring I purchased my first manual car (23 Subaru WRX Premium) and absolutely love it. When my Silverado finally got to the mileage that it needed to be replaced I decided I wanted to do a manual. The performance difference between the auto and the manual is not something that had any bearing on my decision at all.

I’m hoping ours have the resolved grille shutter issue.
Amen to that.... It may just be something on the automatics because I imagine the wiring harnesses themselves are different since the manual doesn't have all the electronics and stuff.
Manuals typically have less drivetrain power loss so I would think the manual would feel just as powerful if not more.
I don’t quite understand the technical aspect of your statement but I fully understand the “feel” of driving a manual. And that’s what I want….that symbiotic feeling…being connected to the engine. I hope that makes sense.
These slightly different numbers mean little to nothing. The gear ratios are very different and automatic transmissions have more power loss through the transmission. So the amount of power to the rear wheel is probably equal or maybe even slightly higher in the manual transmission as manual transmissions have very little power loss through the transmission.
