Need some help figuring this out. As I’m looking at vehicles I’m noticing something.
Had a 2020 elevation that is listed as a 10 speed. I read the car fax and saw the manufacturing sheet. I saw it had 8 speed listed. I looked over and see where they dropped it from a 10 to an 8 speed when they built it.
Double checked vin and vin said it was an 8 speed.
Using several vin decoders I started checking other vehicles.
Some don’t show the speed. And some end up showing true. And some show things like a 6 speed for a truck that is listed as having a 10 speed. And even an 8 speed when it’s listed as a 10 speed.
How can I verify accuracy of what transmission is in a vehicle.
When even vin decoder is brought into question. Cuz there can be no way so many dealerships are intentionally mislabeling the transmission.
I mean a 2022 gmc sierra slt is listed as a 10c but vin shows it as a 6. I don’t think the slt even come with a 6 speed option at that age
