$52,000 for a work truck?


I really don't think that's a common fleet truck...

Hotshotting, you need that power or your fuel mileage and wear on truck increases dramatically.

A bigger more powerful diesel would be a huge welcome.


You need more than ~500hp, ~1000lb torque and a 36,000 tow capacity?

Just get a Peterbilt at that point.

I love their Denali packages but damn they keep them overpriced.

I had a 2025 Denali Ultimate that I got rid of before it hit 10K miles. I hated that POS.

Does this have the new small block v8 engine instead of the shite engines?

those dudes in the board room should realize many people have already abandoned the brand completely due to horrible engines and transmissions.
I was a diehard GM customer until my last GM vehicle. Never again.

It would not hurt my feelings one bit to see GM fold completely. Despite all their quality issues, they continue to offer more and more shite that will only break and cause expensive reliability issues- like replacing the oil dipstick with a sensor. Or gadget features like dual screens in the dashboard. frick GM.

You are why we can't have an auto board on TD, you'd be posting about your crappy truck in every thread.

Yes for fuel efficiency. Just hauling 10k pounds is a struggle especially in the mountains

Not sure why 8.6 unless it's just a pissing contest with Ford.


Well the 8.1L was a solid offering and Ford's 7.3L gasser is proving that big CID gas engines can be workhorses and often more economical than diesels now.

Is there anything more ridiculous than passenger screens? More things to break that are there only to pump up the cost of the vehicle.

The response should be one of their competitors introducing a $35,000 bare bones work truck to level the market. We will see.


Nope, I suspect the conversation will go as follows: well, GMC is getting 52K for their work truck, we can sell ours for 48.5K and it will be less than that, we'll jist cut out some of the features that GMC has. What can we cut out of thos truck to make production costs that much less?

It will have the new gen6 engine. But buyer beware as they are promoting "proven advanced efficiency technologies". The same proven technologies that were grenading the previous gen engines.

Just know this price is in no way based on the Cost of Goods. This price came from dudes in a Board Room saying “What’s the most you think we can charge for a work truck without people abandoning our brand completely?”


That's been the case since the beginning of time. They now put a $200 infotainment screen in them and charge you $5000 for it, but people seem to be handing over the money, so they will keep doing it that way till it stops.

Sales will drop thirty percent next year and they will ask why?

I'm in the Market, how you like that Tacoma. I test drove one yesterday and found it to be a much rougher ride than my 2020 Sierra. But at the least the Tacoma had a good trasmission.

The new truck offers motorized center and passenger screens on higher trims.

Thank God. I don't know how I've been able to get along all these years without the life changing technology of a motorized center and passenger screen but somehow I will try to make the best of it.
