The nv5600s are a little “notchier”. I think the gear ratios in the nv5600 were a little more favorable for towing as well, but the G56 isnt bad either. Really both transmissions are pretty good, as long as it still shifts great in the truck you’re looking at you should be fine.
Which is better NV4500 or NV5600?
The NV5600 is the workhorse trans that has tighter ratios (ending with the same final drive) than the NV4500. The gap between 3rd and 4th in my 4500 is considerable, so towing lots of weight uphill takes forethought on what gear you wanna be in/what point you need to shift, but nothing crazy.
