Well, I don't know what trucks you are considering, but if you are looking at a mid-size, the GM trucks are still the best all around option, even if they look the same as they did 5 years ago.
Assuming (big assumption here) if the recent fluid change actually does fix the 8 speed, and that is no longer an issue, then I think the GM mid-size trucks are downright excellent as I can't come up with any other widely known issues they have now. Compared to my 2015 model (which I like a lot) a loaner 2018 model I drove with the newer V6 and 8 speed felt quicker (especially off the line and throttle tip-in) and was still a joy to drive.
Just a little shocked this day in age that there has not been an MCE yet, but I still wouldn't be surprised to see a change for 2021. Chevy has done MCEs on models before even one year before a new generation, but at this point I just feel like they are going to ride this one out until the 3rd generation arrives.
