Looks like they’re finally figuring out what other truck manufacturers figured out a long time ago...wheels and tires are round, and so should be your fender wells.

Don't see how people can afford to spend 35-40k on a basic full size truck.

It's ridiculous

Seems like every truck in an ad is perfectly level, but you go to the lot and they all have a good bit of rake.

That’s why God made Bilstein 5100s.

That’s going to be a reliability nightmare.

The first thing I would do is buy a tuner to shut that shite off.

So you STILL can only get the 10 speed in the highest trim with the 6.2.

Meanwhile, the same 10 speed (it was co-developed by Ford & GM) is an option on pretty much every trim level and engine of Ford.

I wasn’t a big fan of the initial leaked photo of the new Silverado. But in this color that truck is

I wonder if the rear seat is roomier? To me, that's the big draw back in the GM trucks


I quit fricking in the backseat after high school.

Beautiful but too expensive in that trim


Ultimately, all trim is expensive.

Yeah I’ve never been a Chevy guy but they’ve sure been winning the best looking full sized truck award in my book the last couple of years

Something looks odd about that weird fang of painted metal right between front bumper and the front tire.

Well living in Louisiana where it's 90 all year that is pointless. Now AC ventilated seats are

I am filled with jelly about anyone able to afford it.
Anyway, the headlights look as femme as the 2007 Classic Silverado. And, they may have used the same 2007 Classic hood mold.

This x100. It looks heinous in white. If the bumper continue to wrap around the side to the wheel well, it would look a lot better imo.

That grey one looks cool as hell. That's a great looking truck.
