Perhaps a new 7L LT7 or something for special high performance applications, but I don't think there will be anything more for the trucks.

All that said, at least the new 6.2 has more torque (both peak & throughout the curve) than the old 6.2. And for serious work, there's always the Duramax.
I don't require the extra output of the d-max. nor do I want the extra costs. I am extremely happy with my 6.2 half ton. and 420\450 in a lighter 3\4 ton would be just perfect for me.

also I love how good on fuel this thing is. consistently as good or better than any 5.3 I have had.
