It’s like the nissan titan and chevy colorado mix …so bad

Looks like a gosh-dam Nissan Titan. What the heck? I dont like the looks of the Titan, so I’ll let everyone guess as to what I feel about the looks of this. Missed the mark again GM. Thank goodness they at least got the Camaro right… now they just have to produce it!

Fakes. Open in Photoshop and zoom in real close on the Silverado badges. Heavy pixelation.

I love it. Im suprised it looks so different than the 2006. At first I doubted that GM could pull it off.

That’s a horrible looking excuse for a truck. I don’t care how well it may drive, it looks like a cross between a Honda Ridgeline and a Nissan Titan, nothing like the Silverado toughness we’ve grown to love. Chevy’s design team should be fired. I’ll never buy one.

Oh… my… God… I thought pickups were supposed to look and perform like pickups? All I see is a car with 4 door as a bed, Z71 *OFF ROAD* um what? Highway tires and the right height of most 2 WHEEL DRIVE pickups does not seem like much of an offroad package? Oh well I will let GM dig themselves and even bigger hole and laugh as I pass them in my 06 Cummins.

HI:

Very disapointed as my 03 looks almost the same.I was exspected more like the cheyenne concept. to bad ,no new truck for me.,.;;

I love it! At 1st I was shocked but is grew on me fast. I had my expectations high, I thought something like the Tahoe, but I’m not dissapointed.

It looks like a chevy. why do people expect some life changing design. It is better looking than a F150 or Ram and it is what is under the hood that matters the most.

Who is designing chevy’s new line of vehicles? Seriously? No wonder GM is having issues, I own a 2001 silverado and an in the market for a new truck. In NO WAY would I think about buying one of these, same as stated above ^ it sits to low, has a very poor choice for “off road” tires just plain UGLY front end. And is that a roof rack? It looks like a cross between a colorado and a nissan titan… Chevrolet needs to make some major changes in there styling and enginering department before I consider buying another. As for right now I am leaning towards a F150 FX4 x-cab.

Sorry Chevrolet, -Justin

I was hoping for a real complete redesign.It looks like another refreshening.Looks like it was built two years ago.Still love the looks of the new Rams and F150’s ,Titan and Frontier better.This will NOT, I repeat NOT help Gm in the long run.

I like it, Like all vehicles, I think one needs to wait until they see it in person before making final judgements.

I luv it ! Great looking truck. Styling reminds me of the old C/K pick-up’s. I’ll buy one !!

This is god-awful. If this goes to production, it will kill all of the momentum the Tahoe and Suburban have generated. There has been more talk of big dealer incentives coming down the pipe…they will have to literally give this away.

[…] News
You can see some shots of the new truck in all it’s glory here: http://www.speedsportlife.com/2006/06/12/2008-chevy-silverado-uncovered/ […]

i cannot stress my level of dissapointment. the page loaded and after i realized that that was not a photoshoped pic im thinkin of jumping off a bridge. i think is the vehicle that will keep me from buying another GM vehicle. they are that stupidest automaker ever

loooks fake

What a total let down ! ! ! ! I have an 03 Silverado and love it, and have been anxiously waiting for the NEW 07 body style to come out thinking that I would really want one. (now what) What is going on at GM with their design team, seems like they are totally out of touch with what people want ! ! ! ! ! ! Better put the blackwraps back on it.

From the front and the side view that is the best looking pickup I have seen. From the back it looks a little bit like a Colorado, so it looks a little cheap; but still easily kicks the crap out of Dodge, the imports, and as well as it leaps ahead of the F150.

its not photoshoped you fools.

once again all the reason for me to buy the new tundra when it comes out.

This is the ugliest piece of crap i have ever seen. my 2002 silvy looks better then that, and a 2006 silvy looks way better than that.

Whoever designed this should be fired, and burned at the stake. Rediculus, that isnt a truck thats an embarassment. Way to go GM, u really dropped the ball on this one. Get some new designers.

Front end looks really nice. Side and back views really expose the cheesy rear quarter pannels. Almost looks like a cross between a fleetside and stepside to me…reminds me of the truck Honda has out.

Someone please tell me that those aren’t Z71 stickers indicating that this is a 4WD - I think my girlfriends Jetta rides higher than this truck.

I’M REALLY DISSAPOINTED WITH THE NEW DESIGN. IT REALLY DOES LOOK LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN A TITAN AND A COLORADO. I’VE BEEN HOLDING OFF BUYING A NEW TRUCK UNTIL I SAW THE NEW CHEVY’S, AND NOW I CAN CROSS THIS OFF THE LIST. IT FITS PREFECT IN THE CALIF. SURFING CROWD, BUT I CAN’T SEE ME HAULING AN ELK OUT THE RUGGED IDAHO BACK COUNTRY!! THE ONLY SAVING GRACE MAY BE THE 2500 H.D.’S. I HOPE THEY AT LEAST RESEMBLE A “TRUCK”. I WILL BE LOOKING AT THE NEW TUNDRA, AND THE SUPERDUTY IN THE SPRING OF 07.. CONGRATULATION G.M. YOU JUST PUT THE LAST NAIL IN THE COFFIN…

TERRIBLE. And GM is pinning their future on this tonka toy? GOOD LUCK GM shareholers.

Kicks so much tail, you people are on crack. The Step bars make it look like it is low ridder, if I know Chevy, and I think I do, the clearance will be better than Ford or Dodge. If you are looking at a Tundra or Tittan, go back to Japan and put your Camary up on shocks and drive it around. Seriously, this is one sharp truck. Hope it is the new Silverado. Kudos GM/Chevrolet.

Oh! It looks so manly. Does this brute come in pink?
Just wait till the guys at the dance studio see me in this.
CULLEY

This truck will sell fine. Chevy has to play to the conservative group of people that buy Chevy trucks. I will have to see the truck on the road before I decide what I think But is a life long GM truck owner I would be happy to drive the new truck.

I can not wait to see the design of the new GMC Sierra. I expect it to be a lot more aggressive than the Chevy.

Man u people kill me. The truck looks great and refined, respect to GM. I think most of u peeps are undercover import owners so stop the bs. This is just the first of many Silverado versions to be released. Not all of them will even look exactly like this Z71 truck. Really like the front end of this model… very nice. And the broad shoulders are impressive.

GREAT WORK CHEVY and GM! LETS SEE THE OTHER MODELS!

I THINK THIS TRUCK LICKS IT LOOKS LIKE A GIRL TRUCK I SELL CHEVYS FOR A LIVING AND I AM REALLY SCARED OF WHAT THIS BABY TRUCK WILL DO TO MY INCOME. IF THEY WERE HAVING SUCH A HARD TIME DESIGNING THIS TRUCK THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST COPPIED THE TAHOE AND SUBURBAN INSTEAD OF INJECTING THE COLORADO WITH ROIDS(LIKE BONDS) AND CALLING IT A SILVERADO. WAY TO GO GM ITS NOT YOUR STORES THAT CANT SELL TRUCKS ITS YOUR LAIM ASS DESIGN TEAM THAT MAKES THEM UNSELLABLE. I GUESS IF YOU LIKE FEMALE TRUCKS THIS IS IT FOR YOU.

[…] , but a unique look including stacked headlamps, which separate the trucks from the SUVs. For More info…Dubspeed Driven   […]

Ive driven chevy trucks all my life but GM has lost a lot of respect theese last few years. Recall after Recall and now this horrible excuse for a new model and they wonder why so many people are buying foreign trucks!

hey BUBBA, i also sell GM trucks for a living and have not experienced a decrease in my paycheck even with the old, oudated, stale GM pickup line that we have had for years now. This new truck, although maybe not your taste, has a lot more going for it under the hood than the competition - and as any REAL salesperson will tell you, that is what is really important.

Perhaps its not GM’s “laim ass” design team that is hurting your paycheck but your inability to spell or convey a coherent thought.

i.e - “laim” is spelled lame; “coppied” is spelled copied; insert many commas anywhere.

I don’t know what the people here are talking about but this is about as “wimpish” and pathetic a pick up truck I’ve ever seen. NO manhood characteristics at all. Low to the ground and refines as if it’s meant to be driven at a prom. Man, no wonder why GM is “on the ropes” market share-wise. They deserve it.

Guys! First off, the new silverado may not be the best looking truck out there to some people. But that’s not what you buy a truck for. You buy one for performance, reliability, durability, features, and function, and comfort. It’s getting a new interior, making it pretty much the cadillac of trucks. Can’t wait to see what the new sierra denali will look like. Again, sure it may be ugly to some people, but with the power this truck’s going to get, that won’t matter. You could just pull up to some f-150 or dodge ram, and say “Hey! my truck may not be the best looking thing out there, but it’ll still kick your truck’s ASS!” You just pull up to someone at a stoplight and just SMOKE ‘EM, just like Chevys have been doing for years.

I’m trying to become an Automotive designer, and work for GM. So, don’t woory guys, I’ll make sure the next silverado after this one will look awesome.

In my opinion, GM should have used more styling cues from the 07 tahoe and suburban.

Does anyone notice that big glob of red paint on the truck’s grille?

Thats a reflection of the red paint you are seeing, not a glob of paint on the grill.

Maybe it’ll look better as a regular cab. Half ton trucks usually do.

Administrator,

Is it a reflection from another vehicle, or the truck?

I can’t stand it. It looks like that goofy Explorer Sport Trac. Nothing about if flows.

I have an old 77 shortbed K series and I can tell you that these new trucks are not trucks. Cars with truck bodies and will never even come close to be considered tough in my book. What are people who need a real 4×4 work truck using now a days? I am a die hard Chevy guy but I will stick with the dependable old school. That is what the company needs to get back to “roots”

Most posts here are negative and deservingly so. Americans are into STYLE and I do NOT believe for a second that one buys for performance, reliability, durability, features, function, and comfort as much as they’re into LOOKS. Just ask any plastic surgeon. Sounds like some of these posts are coming from those at GM whose rear ends are “on the line” if this truck bombs.

Did’nt like it the first time I saw it. This is the 3rd time ive viewed it, and now I love it. Currently have a 2000 silverado. I should be arrested for abuse on this truck, yet its still running like a champ at 240,000 miles. Cant wait to buy this one!

I am a fan of the new front end. But from there on back it does look a little cheap or gimicky. The fender flares on the bed of the truck does’t seem to flow with the rest of the truck.Who know’s trucks do grow on you over the years, Remember when Dodge Redesigned the Ram!

I work in the plant that will be building this and had some of the same opinions when I first saw it. It does grow on ya - and all in all I think we have a winner. The interior is top notch and it still feels like a chevie when you drive. Tons of performance and guts what in my opinion has always separated the rest from GM. Before you say NO take one for a drive in the fall and 9 out of 10 of ya will agree. Can’t judge a book by its cover untill you see whats under the sheets!

Ugly, terrible, and disappointing. All this anticipation over the ‘08 model, and this is it? It looks like this is another GM product designed by a committee - one that couldn’t agree on much. Or maybe one that depended too heavily on “market research”…what a joke. This thing looks like a patchwork of truck bodies fastened together and affixed a bowtie badge. It doesn’t look like they could have done much worse. I could have bought a new 06 Silverado 4×4 a few months ago at a great price….and now I wish I had. This thing makes me want to get a Ford or Dodge next time. If anyone at GM is reading this, what happened to the use of COMMON SENSE in designing vehicles?

The proportions look a bit off to me, but I suppose I’d still by it. Not many of the newer trucks look any better anyway….

As for the “photoshopping” of the pic. Yes, the badges have been added! There is definate cut-and-pasting of the bow-tie on the rear, the Z71 sticker, and the Silverado badge. Open the pics in any editor, and zoom in a bit. It’s easy to spot. Not to say this isn’t what the new truck will look like, but the pic has certainly been altered. Just my $0.02…..

Pictures probably don’t do the truck justice. Just wait till you see it with your own eyes. I think the tube bars make the truck look lower then what it really is. I do see some ques from Nissan and the Colarado but again I think I will reserve my judgment untill I see it here at the dealership. I’m sure there will be several trim levels available. So far I like it.

Although I probably don’t know what I’m talking about, I’m quite sure, and I hope that this is the case, the reason those fender whells are so huge is because it’s a 4wd truck. Bigger wheel whells mean BIGGER tires. Someone try photoshopping the picture to make it look like it has a lift with bigger tires, and trust me you’ll like it.

I agree, its clearly photoshopped. And why would they alter it unless it is fake? They did a good job though, fooled me at first.

GREAT JOB, Dubspeed, on getting the 1st uncovered pictured of the Silverado!!! I own a present model Silverado LS and planned to buy the all-new truck. On first impression, I don’t like it. It may grow on me. I definitely don’t like the 90’s Camaro-looking rims and small tires. I’m hopinge there will be better options to change those to something more along the lines of the Tahoe’s 2 standard wheels. The chrome.paint layout on the front also doesn’t appeal to me. Maybe the GMC variant will be more to my liking.

Maybe we’ll see what it really looks like at the Texas State Fair, if this isn’t really it.

I am kind of shocked that chevy planned to redisgn the Silverado. I dont mind it but I think what chevy was trying to do is copy everyone else. And if you dont know what I mean well I mean the how big the body panels are, they make this truck seem huge. Example, the Chrysler 300 the side panels on that car are really tall and you can see that the automotive industry is going in that directionwith other vehicle. I think GM is just too late when other companies come out with a design first. As for the truck its OK but doesnt show that aggressive look that the current body style has with the slanted down head lights. The one thing this truck does represent is BIG as far as what I see. I can’t make my final judgement until I see it in person (and I wonder what the SS will look like). O and remember that automotive companies usually change what the car will look like before production. Also the roof rack will probably be an option, they probably put it on there because this a test vehicle and every option that will be available for this vehicle is on there to see how it works.

You have got to be kidding me…. it looks sick. the only ppl who will want one of these are those who never get their hands dirty…im going to buy an ‘06 before everyone gets to see this ugly thing! THANKS CHEVROLET FOR TURNING A MANS VEHICLE INTO A SAN FRANSCISO DELIGHT!

yall are all retarted,who said it was the actual truck,????did GM say it ?? no,, some other guy said it ,it looks to fake ,its probably just a freakin prototype,well get this chevy already put the new camaro on there website why didnt they put the silverado ???eh ? thing logicly,
its a truck not a sports car there not made too look beautiful,for some of you gay guys out there,trucks are suposed to be mean and nasty so quit fraekin out

HOLD ONTO YOUR LUGNUTS, BOYS! SHE’S TIME FOR AN OVERHAUL!

To be Frank, I wouldn’t even want to get hit by it - I’d feel disgraced covering the grill of that wreck.

Haha, if you’ve ever done serious off-roading in your solid truck, you’d have snapped the frame. The frames are seriously weak at the steering box.
The newer trucks are much sturdier. MUCH.

I broke the frame almost in half in my 77 Blazer, so I know first hand how solid they are.
I will wait to see the finished product before laying insults on this new truck.
As it appears in these pics, it is pretty damn ugly, but we’ll see

BTW, I drive an 00 Chevy ext cab 5.3 4wd

I cannot believe that this is the new truck. Who do we need to contact at GM so we can get the design team fired. I cannot believe that when they seen the pictures of the new model they all agreed man this is a great looking truck. It is soooo ugly I wont be buying a new chevy truck until the next body style change. I thought this team that GM would lead the way with the new truck but it looks like it is left far behind. What a dissappointing version of a truck!!!!

What leads me to believe this will be the production truck are 2 things: First, this spy shot was taken after following a crew for 5 days which was doing commercial shoots. (see link below) Secondly, we are about 4 months from the unveiling/start of production. That’s my logic. Some of us here just have different ‘Logic.’ We shall see at the end of September. In the meantime, let’s keep a lookout for the GMC spy photos. We may have 2nd chance at liking a GM truck. On the Tahoe/Yukon’s, I prefer the Tahoe. The Yukon looks a bit girly for starters. Maybe the trucks will be different?

MAYBE THE WORST LOOKING CHEVY TRUCK EVER… NOW YOU KNOW WHY HONDA IS KICKING OUR A$$.

I signed up for a newsletter from Chevy about info from the next silverado, and so far, I haven’t received any info. I’m guessing that this isn’t the real truck, and I have contacted the directors of the Texas State Fair, and they said that there is a VERY GOOD chance that the new silverado will debut there.

If this is GM’s version of progress I’d hate like heck to experience one of their failures. This truck would no more qualify for a truck than I would for the NASA program. 5′10″ is the “cutoff” height. I’m 6′7″. I can’t put into words what a mistake this truck will be. Selling over 1.7 MILLION trucks per year GM better be playing games with us here because if this is the real deal their future is in very, very, dire straits. They can NOT afford a failure in this very lucrative market. WOW, and these designers are being paid for this crap?

It was announced weeks ago that the Silverado WILL be unveiled on September 29th at the Texas State Fair. The purpose of the 200,000 mile club contest on the chevy website is to have these 200,000 mile+ trucks present for the unveiling. I will look for the press releases that stated all this and post them here asap.

HERE’S one of the articles:

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=110177

Looks like Gm needs to head to the drawing board again because the all new 2007 Toyota Tundra look’s sooo much better.. Gm History on Truck building and quality control is a huge Joke…

Just when I thought nothing could possibly be uglier then the current Silverado, GM designers out did themselves and produced an even uglier truck.

I’m holding out a little hope for Sierra but this is totally depressing.

They will sell out like every other gm truck ever made.

My old man works in the truck plant in Oshawa (where they have made the first two of these) and he said that it looks pretty good when you see it in front of you.

What a buzz kill. Been looking forward to this for awhile.Im sure we will get over it once we seen one or two on the road. my 0.003cents

WOW….All’s i can say to GM is GOOD LUCK! your gonna need it with this one. Total disappointment

Love it. This is the best looking pickup ever. Normally I hate the over-use of chrome like Dodge pickups suffer from. If someone would have told me the new truck would have this much chrome without looking gaudy, I would have thought that impossible. This truck will sell great. Of course the tiny manhood guys who believe huge grills and hood bulges are requirements for a ‘real’ (to them) truck will hate it. The other 90 percent of the market will love it.

Are you serious with that picture? That is def not the new silverado…looks more like a colorado with some computer generated decals on it. If thats the silverado its length shrunk by about 25 inches

Thanks J. I was thinking the same thing- that maybe it will look better in person like other designs for which pictures don’t do justice. Since I’m a die-hard Chevy (GM) fan, it’ll probably grow on me. And I’m not against getting the GMC if I prefer it’s looks. I think the GMC designs target a more mature (higher age-range) buyer, and since I’m well in my 30’s now, maybe it will more appeal to me. But I’d really prefer owning a CHEVY..it’s just an American thing, I guess. I know this is all speculation until we get to see and drive the real truck, but I’m anxiously anticipating it’s arrival. My present 2000 Silverado with almost 200k has been great to me.

J since your father works in the plant, any inside info you can post here would be greatly appreciated. You are definitely a great asset to this blog.

I own an 05 silverado and have had many before this one. I was really looking forward to seeing the new style but man ,what a dissapointment! I dont want a truck that has to grow on me! I want a truck that draws me into it. I was hoping G.M. would get their act together and get with the rest of the trucks on height but maybe never!

A big ugly ZERO is how i would grade this turkey. Congrats GM designers, you’r e now the proud owners of the most wimpish looking truck in the world.

Sam,

You said that GM needs to get back to its “roots” right?
Well, here is a loose sketch I did of a possible 2011 silverado with the 1967-72 front end, which in my opinion, was the best looking truck chevy ever made. I know the sketch is a bit out of proportion and a little sloppy, but it’s just a free sketch that I didn’t take much time on. If you want the picture, email me at

jmreily@earthlink.net

Chevy announced that they WILL build the new camaro!!!

Where did u hear that? and When

WOW, ugliest thing ive ever seen, why would anyone buy that truck when there are trucks like f-series and dodge rams…actually cancel dodge rams, becuse the redesigned models look retarded

Good news / bad news…The bad news is that it looks like the design team for the Aztek never got fired. The good news is that there’s gonna be HUGE rebates on this thing so that it will sell.

that truck looks like someone beat it with an ugly stick …. ill save my money lol..

Brian,

Edmunds posted it on their website, because the car had such a great success at the Detroit Auto show. It is planned for the 2009 model year. Here’s the website:

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=108825

Maybe I’m the only one who feels this way, but I thought at a brief glance that there are a few almost retro aspects of it. I cant put my finger on it, but there are a few things that feel like the old 60s Chevy pickup.

I for many years sold Chevy’s and remember all to well back in ‘88
“The New Generation” Everyone said that design would never sell.

I thought the ‘03 was A goofy looking unit ,But I love my ‘04 K-2500 !

See,Touch,Drive…I’ll Wait and see

designed by a women built for a women! Have you driven a ford lately? I think I will

Recently returned from the GM Tech Cntr where I retired several years ago. This is the new Silverado. It looks very aggressive and business-like in real life. I think most of the nay-sayers here will change their minds when they see the vehicle on and off the road in real life. I have an ‘05 reg cab long box 4X4 and definately plan on a 07 after I learn equipment options availability.

BTW, the SS is definately kick-a**. Mean-looking front end with giant vertical cooling scoops on edges of bumper cover and factory hard bed cover with integral spoiler to name a few items. All this stuff is for the shiney-tire streeters of course, and won’t be of any use to me up on the hillside. Regards…409/409

After seeing the new Avalanche 07′ I can ASSURE you all that the above pictured Silverado is the actual truck debuting this fall. For the Avalanche is a genetic cousin to what I see here. More car-like and more cabin “bubble” room design.

when i saw this i was pretty dissapointed. what happened to the look of the 90s? oh well, what can i say since I wont be driving it anytime soon…. but yes, the chevy badges are heavily pixeled… and if you look closeley at the one on the tailgate, the lighting is way off.

yes im reluctant to believe this is the real thing

you Fn morons wouldnt know a good looking pickup if it hit you in the face, toyota or any other import doesnt have a chance. even Ford!

This is the ugliest pile of crap i have ever seen. This is almost as ugly as the new Tundra which looks like a slab of meat. GM will never sell more of these than Ford will sell F-150’s. Oh wait, gm has nerver outsold the F-150, i forgot.

TOM SAYS: Who would listen or read anything some IDIOT says seeing how he can’t even write correctly. It’s called puncuation Tommy boy. Using profanity in place of facts is the stuff kindergartens are made of. So my advice to Tom is go back to grade school, learn a few things, and then attempt to reach adulthood.

What the hell is wrong with the Nissan Titan or why do you guys talk shit about it. I own one and i’m happy with my truck not just because how it looks but it can aoutperform any stock truck in its class.

Sounds like everyone came to complain about something that THEY know nothing about other then a few “spy photos” … Just wait until the vehicle hits the ground then bash all you want. Bring your Fords, Your Dodges (yes even your beloved cummins), Nissans, Toyotas, Hondas and whatever else you can find. And try and figure out a way to out perform, out last, outhandle,out tow, out haul…. When you watch a chevy tow both the Dodge Cummins and The Ford Power stroke up a hill with their transmissions in park. You will realize what a little girls truck can do to your little boys truck.. Everyone has their opinions. HOWEVER FACTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES!!!! GM has another hit on their hands. Dont like it? Get over it.

worst design EVER! i was waiting to see the silvy before i make my decision on what truck to buy, but i am definitely getting the new tundra now

I love the new design and I thing that you all should put it into production
I WILL BUY ONE IN BLACK

New Tundra that will come out next year is by far the ugliest truck… At first I didn’t like the look of this silverado, but when I looked carefully at the design, I think that looks better that anything out there. And for those who can’t count, GM has always out sell the F-series (chevy and gmc combined).

ABEL good luck with your rear diff. on that titan.

ORDERED MINE!!!!!!

I love when people say”Trucks are for work and it matters what’s under the hood”!! Well if that were the case everyone would drive a Super duty or a Dodge with the Cummings. I myself have a 97 Z-71. I purchsed a NBS Sierra and hated it. I went back to a 98 Z-71 after that truck. The 03’s and up got worse and now this thing comes along. If style does nt matter on a truck then why are they all not shped like a mack truck and no bling? There is no way I will buy one of these knock off of the Nissan/Honda model trucks. Iff Gm does not get there crap straight not only will My wife be Driving a Nissan Maxima becuase its a better car but I wil be switching to a Super duty or a foreign model. Gm’s por design and crappy fabraction idea’s have put me to an end. Looks like in a few years in may be the big 2 and not the big 3 in Detroit.

To bad - looks like a bigger version of the colorado mixed in with Nisson’s titan. I’ll be keeping the 06

I’m with Donnie: Although I’m certain the picture above is the prduction truck, we may see things differently once we can touch/drive it. Even if I’m still not crazy about it, I think it looks acceptable enough to keep loyal Chevy (GM) owners like myself. And with gas mileage being a huge issue these days, I think GM with see many truck-owners cross over from other makes. The Nissan is a beautiful, fun-to-drive powerhouse, and the Ford is beautiful design, in my opinion (I’m still a die-hard GM/Chevy fan); but generally, they drink gas. Pretty or not, I think this new truck will be GM’s saving grace and it may hit the other truck-makes much harder then they will ever expect.

I disagree 100% with Kelly. Yes, the loyal crowd will do their imitation of “follow the leader” but the rest of us? Anything but. This truck will NOT save GM from its lost market share syndrome. It’s a car on a truck frame. Just like the Avalanche 07′. With MORE emphasis on the inside cabin than the true truck characteristics.

I agree to disagree as we are all entitled to an opinion, which is all most of what this forum is composed of. We will find out for sure in a few months (or years) after these go on sale. But I would like to elaborate on something Lex said. I too saw the truck sales numbers through May 2006, and the combined total of GMC and Chevy truck sales for this year-to-date were 6000 units more than the Ford trucks. I’ll see if I can find a link to these numbers and post them here. Or if anyone has those, please post. This could just be a bad numbers glitch of misinformation. But nevertheless, this should prove that even with an 8 year-old design, GM’s trucks are still holding their own in strong sales; it’s just GM as a whole company which is struggling. It’s no secret that the Tahoes and Yukons are a huge hit so far. September can’t get here soon enough

First off whoever said they ordered theirs is lying. They are not available for ordering yet. I work for GM and I will tell all of you when they are available for purchase and or ordering. Pricing has not even been set yet let alone the ability to order. That being said, For model year 2005 Cherolet by itself outsold Ford by 100,000 units. Chevrolet/GMC numbers combined are much higher. When you take the fact that the NEW Duramax absolutly blows away the power stroke and the cummins in all areas LOOK UP THE SPECS IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE ME…. You will see why GM is outselling rivals Ford and much much smaller rival Dodge. All the while commanding a premium price for their Diesel/Allison combination. You can by the Dodge for as much as 8K less then the Chevy.. So you tell me why more people are stepping up to the plate and spending the extra dough? Are they just stupid. Or are you just jealous because you just bought a Dodge because that is all you could afford and secretly wish you could own the best… 310hp… 670 ft lbs of torque… Automatic Tranny that cannot be beat. Now comes with a manual shift mode as well.. Locking rear differential that no other manufacture has… Yes it is different then limited slip do some research and you will learn the difference. The bottom line is Locking rear Diff works.. Limited slip dosent. You may or may not like the looks that is more of a personal decision. But if you want a real truck there is really only 1 choice on the market. IF you really use a truck for work, or play there is only 1 choice. If you want something drive around in that looks like a truck pick another one and pay less money. Sounds to me like this more about jeoulsy then anything. I too would be upset if I owned a Ford or a Dodge. Even more upset if I just spent my money on a Japanese vehicle. If you want to support their economy just move to Japan and live with them. 70% YES 70% OF YOUR MONEY that you spent on a foreign made vehicle goes back to Japan. Wave the RED WHITE AND BLUE AND then send your money to the Japanese? Hrmmm you should be ashamed of yourselves. And for those of you bashing GM’s financial status you have obviously not been keeping up with the financial rags out there. GM is doing fine. Its regaining markert share in all segments and restructuring its manufacturing. The stock is climbing. Should have bought as much as you could have weeks ago as it will continue its climb… Biased opinions? NO look at the facts do the research. Then ask yourself what you crying about. Most of these statements come from very uninformed individuals.

I currently own an 03 Silverado, believe in buying american 100%. And that is getting tougher to do by the day. For you to say “70% YES 70% OF YOUR MONEY that you spent on a foreign made vehicle goes back to Japan. Wave the RED WHITE AND BLUE AND then send your money to the Japanese?” is a bit overboard. The Silverado, for starters, is assembled in Canada with a mexican assembled motor (at least the ever popular 5.3 is). GM (or Ford for that matter) is much content sending it’s profits and investments into countries outside the U.S. Been a LONG time I’ve heard of US auto manufacturer building new plants, hiring more people. Don’t get me wrong, I won’t buy a Japanese manufacturer’s vehicle, but you work for GM, you know better, where does GM’s profits reaaly go?

Having said my little rant The truck has some similarities to the Titan, but I believe the truck will look good in person, GM has a big seller on it’s hands as long as quality is there.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This design is diffrent from the previous smooth sided designs of the past Silverados,so some may have a hard time getting used to it.
Most were expecting more of a Cheyenne concept design.I guess Toyota was too because they coppied a lot of its exterior design features. However,it looks like GM decided to stick closer to the present body style ,changing the front end(shades of 67-72 in headlite design) and bulking up the fenders.It may be diffrent,but I wouldn’t call it ugly. I think most will warm up to the design when the see it in person.(Must have tested well in consumer focus groups)
The bottom line will beWILL IT PERFORM LIKE A TRUE CHEVY TRUCK. From what I have read and the comments made by GM officials, this Silverado will out class and out perform all past Silverados and all of the fullsized trucks on the market! I expect that it will ,and if so , should be as much a sales success as the new Tahoe and Yukon.
For those looking for the more”traditional” look ,it appears from spy photos that the GMC Sierra will shut up all the design bashers on this site and be more to their “macho” man’s truck leanings.

I’m looking into finally buying myself a new truck. I was looking at all of them foreign and domestic makes. I found that in general they all are of the same price range. I’m keeping my old 1 ton for hauling purposes so the higher horse power wasn’t a deciding factor for me either. So it basically came down to the looks for my decision. I hated the front ends on the recent chevys with the angled up headlights. Ugliest thing i’d seen in my life. I’ve been a true chevy guy my entire life the only fords i own were given to me and they are in my wifes name. I’ve been disappointed over the past few years with chevy products. Especially the way they will show you how they are going to build something new that you know would be a hugh sucsess. And then change it all up and then put a jacked up price on it where an average person couldn’t afford it. Enough with the ranting and raving. When i caught an article on the new Tahoes and trucks for 07 and i loved the look of the front ends. To me they looked more intimidating than before. I went to several dealerships and seen the Tahoes and the Avalanche. But the trucks were still the same as before with the ugly lights. I had pretty much decided that it was either a Tahoe or an avalanche for me to buy. I was leaning toward the avalanche only because it comes in the burnt orange color. But then i got this site sent to me and at first i was disappointed. Told my wife i wasn’t buying this truck. But once i looked longer at the photos and compared it to the Tahoe i found the simularities. This is not a very good photo of the front of this truck. Compared to the Tahoes this front end is slightly different but not by much. Except for the bubbled rear fenders i like the truck. I only hope i can get it in that burnt orange color.

BULL!! I GOT THE FIRST OF OF 4, 2500 IN 1999!!

Even though most of domestic manufacturers do assemble their product outside U.S. More that 80% of the money will go to U.S.
But of course the truck might resemble other vehicles out there because there is so many but at the same time it’s unique, like people some one might look like another but every body is unique.

G.M. I would like see a more ruged FOX edition (you had a concept few years ago)

I DONT CARE WHAT THE PRICE IS !!!!!!!!!!!!

Steve,

To answer your question there are vehicles that are ASSEMBLED IN CANDADA AND MEXICO… However the parts, ,materials equipment and such come from the US… well honestly about 90% we outsource some electronics. But regardless 90% american made product shipped to Canada or Mexico and then ASSEMBLED there. 80% of the dollors spent on those vehicles remain in the USA. Bottom line.. As for where the profits going? to pay for an outdated and mismanaged retirement and benifits package to the GM workers, especially Union employees. That to is in the process of being resolved. My assesment is not harsh. If you wish to support a foreign manufactures economy you might as well live there. You want to spend your money in Japan move there. Look at the state of our economy. Blame that on what you wish. But when you spend your money to make other countries richer I find that offensive. If you want to Wave the Red White And Blue then buy Red White and Blue.

Mike,

First off, let me restate that I would never buy a foreign manufacturer’s vehicle, nor a foreign manufactured vehicle. The definition of foereign manufactured vehcle can be debated. I support my friends at GM and Ford, and will always support the people that work in this country… more so than most of anyone I know. We’re losing too many jobs not to. Keep in mind some facts: just because it says Chevy or Ford on it, doesn’t mean it’s a good purchase. The “about 90%” is domestic content, which is US-Canadian content, not just US. Silverado in 2004 contained 85% domestic content, which is about as high as it gets these days. Buick Rendevous? 31%. “Chevy” Aveo (Korean made) only 5%. Avalanch (built in Mexico) has 65%. Ford Fusion, built in Mexico, only 30%. Saw a recent report that the US built Toyota Sienna was 90% domestic content. Most definately american companies generally use more domestic content that the foreign manufacturers, but those times are changing. Ford is reportedly investing 9.3 BILLION in “profits”, not here, but in Mexico. GM is no different. And there are many reasons, including survival, that this is happening. Doesn’t mean I have to support it. I have many friends at GM and Ford, I will always buy a GM or Ford to not only support them, but support all of us. But to buy a Mexican built vehicle (as an example) is something I won’t do, there are other options, for me. A Chevy Mailbu i would buy, never a Ford Fusion.

Hopefully you won’t be on the offensive after this post, but it’s not meant as an attack, just adding a few facts. We’re actually on the same page, and that is to support American jobs. In these days and times, if you want to “Buy American”, it’s more difficult than blindly just picking a brand. “Buy American from American Jobs” to me is more important. That’s how I drive it, your mileage may vary.

NICE TRUCK!!!! I LOVE THE LOOKS

Check out another pic. from diffrent view. looks much better!
http://www.izoom.com/2007silverado.spied.html

Thanks for the new link with the closer front shot, Lex. I much prefer it in grey and the hood being closed makes a difference too

Do I need to go help GM design there trucks?? Who the hell are these designers trying to appeal to?? After seeing this ugly crap I will definetely go buy a ford now!

Hey Lex,
you’re right, it does look much better. But it’s probably because it’s a regular cab, and it doesn’t have the huge fender flares like the one pictured above. The front end looks alot different too. In fact, it looks like the tahoe.

GM is going in the right direction. Silverado WILL be at the top of my shopping list. Toyota, Honda, nor Nissan can ever compete with GM reliability and power. GM builds TRUCKS not imitations. Let’s not forget that they sell more trucks than anyone else for a reason!!!!!

Justin,
Yes you’re that it is a regular cab, but this front end on they grey truck and the one on the red truck are both idenical, they both have those flares, they look a little diffrent due to the picture angle

Chrysler will announce shortly they’re rendition of last years most successful “employee disc for everyone” plan. Looks like even more “price wars” forthcoming. Which in essence, will “steal” even more sales from next year.

Very Very sad, a monkey could have done a better design job with the body. Trucks are supposed to be tough, this looks like an overgrown midsize pickup. Wheres the brawn?

Hey Steve,

Yup the Aveo is was orignially built dawoo which GM since purchased improved upon and released it with bow tie. It is a low price leader and not a very big seller. Your numbers are a bit scewed on content espcially in relation to the Avalanche but fairly accurate on most others. But one thing You need to know about where these vehicles are built. 1st The TAHOE, SUBURBAN, AVALANCHE are all built in three different Factorys. Not just Mexico. I will explain to you how to know where the vehicle was built. The last 8 digits of the the vin number will look like this 7R123456 The only two that matter are the first. The 7 indicated that it is an 07 model year the R indicateds what factory the vehicle was built in. AS stated there are three factorys currently producting these vehicle the first to roll vehicles off the line was the Inidiana plant and their code would be 7J123456, 7R123456 is Texas, 7G123456 is Mexico … So if your interested in an Avalanche now you know how to tell ASIDE from the window sticker which plant it originated from. We have seen no quality difference from one plant to another to date. On occasion things pop up from one plant to another however each is fashinoned exatly the same as the other to keep things consistant. Fortunatly the Mexican QC managers were transplants from US factorys Or I too would be concerned. But they are running a pretty tight ship down there in Mexico. Getting them up here and through customs has been the worst issue. They tie up the rail cars for weeks sometimes.. But that is another story.

Mike

I honestly cringed when I saw this truck. Let me say before you think that I hate GM that I have a 2000 2500HD that I love and will drive into the ground. That being said I’ll continue. After being sodomized with the negative response of the colorado and the H3 (yes GM the I4 and I5 suck ass, hurry up with the damn 5.3L in those things) they bend over yet again. Why do the designers over there have a habit of sheetmetal abortions (let me just say remember the Aztec). They took a great truck and wussed it out. Can the front end of that thing even clear a parking block. And when was the last time, and just so you GM execs that are reading this dont have to think too hard, did you ever see a roof rack on a legit truck. I’m sure F150 loyalists would disembowel themselves if Ford tried pulling off something that stupid. Idiots thats why you have a BED in a truck, so you dont have to put stuff on the roof. And speaking of the bed. Is it just me or does it look like the cab got taller and the bed got shorter. Hell the next design might just be a flatbed truck. Way to go GM you redesigned your whole truck and wrapped it in 245×16 tires in tiny wheel wells again. HELLO why is it that GM insists on putting bike tires on their trucks when every other company gets the picture. Cute 5 spoke, 5 lug wheels on and OFF ROAD TRUCK. Guess they wanted to continue with the dumb ideas and use the Impala rims on a full size truck. Nice plastic bumper btw on it. When will they wake up and realize that they aren’t designing a luxury car. Its a frickin truck. Design it like a truck. Big tires, steel bumpers, a full depth bed, ect. ect. I just pray to god that the 2500 is at least better, like with a solid front axel again. IFS sucks ass. And just because I’m anal did anyone else notice the 4 inch gab between the hood and the fender. They cant even fudge the fit on a pilot car. Wake up GM and stop screwing with the vehicles that actually do well .

The first letter in the VIN is all you need to know about where the vehicle is made. 1 is the U.S. 2 is Canada and 3 is Mexico and 6 is Australia.My GTO gave me that one. As for Japan they just put J as their first letter. I am waiting for the 2008 or 2009 trucks with DOD and the new 6L80E which will get some just insane gas mileage figures. As for the new Tundra I think a four door pickup with 2 door extended cab windows looks like a icecream cone here in AZ in the middle of July.

I’m so glad this is fake! Look at all of the logos and badges! It’s not at all like anything Chevy is trying to do with their styling right now. Those fenders are ridiculous. Someone is just trying to start a bunch of hype. I hope no one paid for these pictures.

Any way chevy did not outsell ford in 2005, keep believing that lie, chevy moved the numbers and added rental and fleet instead of retail. I think the truck looks good for a supersized colorado, this is for mike, bring your chain we will hook em up, the only chevy that will smoke the tires will be yours as you are being dragged backwards trying to get traction….Ford F150 rules………..

also for the american in you, the duramax diesel is made by isuzu…..At least the cummins and powerstroke are made in the usa, look at the facts, And the tranny in the powerstroke is also made by allison?

Hey 2000 silverado.. From the looks of your post you are obviously one of the uninformed. First of all this is NOT a production vehicle if you have been reading the thread at all you would know that. Secondly the gap you are complaining about happens to be due to the fact the hood latch has been popped open. The last year they put 16″ wheels on a half ton pickup was in 2002…. And in keeping with current trends of the SUV’s you will see a number of factory wheel options you have not seen in previous years.so you might want to keep up with tht times. The roof rack is proabably an option if available at all. AGAIN this is not a production vehicle. The styling while might not appeal to you does appeal to the masses. They do nothing without extensive consumer group discussions asking for design advice. You may hate it. And maybe it is not for you. But it will continue to be the number 1 selling Pickup in the US… Because they listen to the people. NOT just your uninformed rants. Every manufacture has to update their line in order to keep up with the times. This is nothing more or less then that. The Tahoes and Suburbans are selling beyond expectations. We cannot build enough Avalanches to keep up inventory at the moment. So keep yourself informed of what is currently going on in the marketplace. So I say to you SIR your the one who needs to wake up….

wow, ugly, disproportionate, mess……did they take a small box off of a colorado and put it on a full size frame? It looks like each body part is off of a different year and size chevy, then cobbled the pieces together in someones garage. I’m not part of any fancy “consumer group discussion”, but if this what the masses want (and I doubt it) they can have it. Unfortunately, I will have to look at these eyesores driving down the street. Do me a favor…..if you buy one of these trucks, leave it in the garage so I don’t have to see it. Thank you in advance…

Well, madshibs thanks for your unbiased expert opinion . All you bashers are way over the top in critisizing this truck. Yea ,it’s a definate departure from the smooth sided Chevy truck styling of the past, but it’s not an” ugly diproportionate mess”. It will have more appeal than the photo. Wait to see it in person before you throw your barbs.You probably wouldn’t buy a Chevy truck no matter how nice it was styled.
Have fun drivin your Tonka toy Ford or Toyota!

I like it, the ones who think it looks the Nissan Titan are blind, first of all the Titan front is chop off like all Nissan trucks. It will sell, we will all embrace this new look and the active fuel management and flex fuel capabilities of the redesigned fullsized GM line. It’s American made, Whatever happen to baseball, applepie and Chevrolet? GM sports the the most advance tech car on the planet, I know I have owned and drove them all and overall GM produces the best buy for the buck. All had more troubles from Japanese Trucks( more expense to repair) never had a major failure with my Chevrolets at all. So before I even test drive the new Siverado, I know it’s the best Truck on the planet!

Sorry Joe, I disagree that this is GM’s best effort. In fact it’s mediocre. Having staked it’s future partly on the continued success of the Silverado and SUV’s, Chevrolet needs to be working on a redesign/restyle for 2009. I understand that management was in a rush to get this new version to market to help counter the new Tundra and a new platforn was out of the question at this time, but where are the Cheyenne styling cues that teased us back in 2003? As Lutz has said, GM needs “must have product”. GM styling has shown flashes of brilliance in the recent past, so let’s hope management loosens its sphincter muscle and lets the next Silverado be a product that grabs us by the throat and say’ “buy me!”.

All I can say is I am thankful that GM/Chevy got rid of that stupid angled front end at the headlights that made the trucks even more ugly then a ford. As far as I am concerned it is a step up in cosmetic design from 03 to present. I look forward to buying my new 2500 duramax and kicking so tail. Just my 2 cents worth.

All I can say is I am thankful that GM/Chevy FINALLY got rid of that stupid angled front end at the headlights that made the trucks even more ugly then a ford. As far as I am concerned it is a step up in cosmetic design from 03 to present. I look forward when they are available to buying my new 07 2500 Duramax and kicking some tail. It is about time GM pulled there head out of the sand and did something with the front end cosmetics. Just my 2 cents worth.

off road huh? must mean it’s low enough to high center on everything and keep the tires off the road.

i’m glad the truck looks like crap. somebody has to make my superduty look good.

Will some one tell this Mike says NERD, to go and get a real job. The new 900 platform trucks will kooke just like the 07′ Avalanche. Emphasis on the engine, and cabin. LESS truck like appearance is where GM is now coming from and it STINKS. Sorry Mike, looks like you better join the Pee Wee Herman club after all.

I had planned to wait for the ‘08 Sierra/Silverado but had to settle for an ‘06 Sierra 2500HD Duramax/Allison CC 4×4. Now I see I didn’t loose much, if anything, to the spirits of fashion. Cosmetics really doesn’t matter much to a prgmatist, after all any custom shop can replace the stock sheetmetal in exchange for money, giving you a one-of truck; snap on a Yukon or Esclade front end, add some graphics and - whoa - mondo cool, if that’s your thing! The ‘08 Silverado is a competent design, but as any production line product it is always an attempt to ballance everyone’s taste.

This truck wll either be a huge success or a huge disapointment. After seeing this picture I am thinking that it will be a disapoitment. This design may appeal to some, but to the true off-roaders and owners who take their truck off of the pavement I think it will not take. I think GM may be doing theirselves in as the spy pictures of the Sierra do not look a whole lot better. If you won stock I would sell now. What a disapointment.

GM is sure on a roll….they came out with that turd they call a GTO (will no longer be built because nobody wants a cavalier with a GTO badge), they also have the SSR (will no longer be built because nobody wants an over-priced, underpowered “hotrod”), then the have the Imapla SS redesign which is discraceful compared to the true classic that the SS has been from the 60’s to the 90’s. On ebay there is a 95 Impala SS selling for the same price as a brand new 2006 chevy impala SS!!!!!! That sould tell you something right there. Now they have taken another truely great American Icon, the Silverado, and turned it into a another below average, shadow of a great truck that once was. Is is just me, or does anyone else long for the days of GM ANYTIME prior to the year 2000? How long will it be before GM comes out with a true blockbuster again? This truck is yet antoher disapointment.

Just got an ‘06 Crew cab cause I knew that thing was coming. They should change the name to Coloratan or maybe the Tilorado. Everyone that is bashing the offroad look I’ll chime in, I have a 1987 Silverado I ordered new and it’s my opinion that GM hasn’t made an offroad truck since.

This truck sucks balls. I was thinking of gettin a new truck but i rather my 03 silverado. i am not ridinig no pussy lookin truck. wtf is wrong with chevy ” ? how can you go offroading with that shit ? is basidcally sitting on the floor.. my stock truck came higher than that shit. fuck chevy new design. i hope yah dont sell shit. is your design team lil girls “? or is it a team of females. ? that truck is like for my mom.

Uhhhh, what is that thing? An Isuzu? last generation Nissan Frontier? I see there’s a bow tie on the front , as some small automanufacturer on a severely tight budget is attempting to make something that might resemble a chevy pickup. Nice try! That is the ugliest piece of crap I’ve seen in a while. Well, I do remember the Aztec and the AMC Pacer, and this thing ranks with both of them. Thought I’d look forward to maybe buying one but it looks like quite possibly the new Tundra will get my vote. Maybe after GM goes bankrupt they’ll figure out how to build decent vehicles, and in order to sell them they actually have to be vehicles that people want to buy. This looks like the best truck that Kia has ever built.

What’s up with painting the outside edges of the front bumper? Why would you take the most abused part of the truck (scratching from brush, etc…) and paint it? That’s why bumpers were originally chromed steel!

I can believe all of you ignorant bastards. You couldnt build a truck half this good if you tried. You are all ignorant white trash. You are on a GM Inside website arent you? You must have some interest in GM products if you are on this website. If you were a true GM fan you would be behind this truck 100%. Do you want GM to lose any more market share than they already have? GM needs our support now more than ever. Take a look at the new Tahoes and Yukons . They are flying off of the lots. I know this truck will do the same. Look at the engineering that has gone into these vehicles. Displacement on Demand, E 85 capability, best interior in the business. All high quality materials. You may not like the look of the truck from the pictures but wait to cast your jusgement once you see the truck in person. I guarantee it will put the Fords and Dodges to shame.

If anyone does not want to agree with me at that time, take your ignorant sorry asses and buy another truck brand. I will stick with GM till the end. I am a true GM fan unlike you pieces of shit!

It looks great. Chevy has always had a lot to bring to the table and the redesigned silverado is yet another example of how Chevy is steering back into the right direction. To those of you who hate it, comment on how Chevy is going under, and how you will never buy one: Take a step back and ask yourself if you are truely deserving of such an automobile, especially when you put down one of the best automotive manufactures of all time and have no brand loyalty what so ever! You can’t even spell or let alone use proper grammer how can we take your comments to heart? GOOD JOB CHEVY!!! THE TRUCK LOOKS GREAT!!!! KEEP’EM COMING!

All you bashers ,just remember GM has TWO truck lines. The Silverado design may not be your cup of tea, but it appears the GMC Sierra will have the more traditional truck look with a horizontal grill front end. So before you write GM off with your “explatives deleted” wait to see the entire truck line up.
Bottom line with these trucks will be PERFORMANCE. GM promises they will out perform all the competition and be technically superior. If they keep their promise,most people will get past any styling issues if they know they will be driving a best in class vechicle.

man this truck looks good i new they would make the headlights look pimp like the escalade!! consider it sold

Looks great! Way to go GM! As the owner of an 89 C1500 and an 06 Silverado Z71, I now have something new to add to my shopping list!

What is GM/Chevy doing? This truck looks weak. I think I could take the new dodge ram and run this chevy truck over a few times and leave little damage on the dodge. GM needs to go back to the old look of chevy silverado’s the 1990-2000 were amazing trucks and they actually look nice. I own a 1994 and I love it. This truck better have a lot of power, cause it looks like a little girls barbie car. This truck looks like a big waste of money. GM is forgetting about the whole picture the engine is not the only selling point, the appearence of the vehilce has to be appealing as well. This truck is far away from appealing. Looks like Honda finally can say their shit box on wheels of a truck looks nicer than a chevy product. Good luck. I would rather put a new engine in my chevy than buy one of these.

I hve been a GM fan for years. I have owned 35 GM products, most of them Blazers, Suburbans and pickups ( Cheyennes and Silverados ). I was really excited when the Tahoe and Avalanche came out. I was ready to buy the new Silverado until I saw this photo. I quickly ranout and bought a 2006 Model with the Duramax. GM you really disappointed me.

No wonder Chevy is going bankrupt. I have been buying chevy pickups since 1967 and have waited to see this new pu hoping that chevy would wake up and make a real pu. They still put 16 inch wheels on what they call the HD. Wake up. I thought this truck was a Nissan Titan when I first saw it. Does GM pay these people ro design these trucks and do they see what the competition is selling? The new Tahoe and Avalanche are redesigned and are beautiful. The front and rear bumpers look like you know what and who wants the stepside look on a work truck.

ifs is for cars not trucks. if gm went back to putting a strong straight front axle(i.e dana 60 or equivalent) into their 3/4, and 1 ton trucks (like dodge does, like ford does) in addition to making a better truck… they might see more sales, too.

Ok People , put your crack pipes down for a moment and clear your head. This Truck Rocks. Great lines and bold Chevy features. And by the way , all you morons . Ride height DOES NOT determine ground clearance. Go Back to school! Chevy’s have alway’s ruled in the ground clearance dept. You fools can go buy your cheap Dodges and put on the wrong off set wheels and look like idiots all day long. Good Job GM, you will have my order for two units. Smart people choose GM.

why is everyone saying that it looks so ugly???? if you really look at it, all they did in the front end is remove the crome line dividing the headlights. if you put that back in, then it looks like the 2002 style. it looks much better than a boxy 2007 ford f250.

The GMC will be almost exactly the same. They are ran on the same production line. Grill may be different, but not much else. Look at the current GMC and Chevrolet

Just to let you know adam N. all three trucks, Silverado, F-150, and Dodge Ram use IFS. Don’t believe me, go look it up on Edmunds. They all also use a solid live axle for the rear suspension.

actually, all the 1/2 ton trucks (silverado, sierra, ram, f-150, titan, tundra) have IFS but on the 3/4 and 1 ton only ram and ford have solid front axle which absolutely DON’T make them a better truck.

the new chevy looks just like a the nissan titan and chevy colorado. they should of kept it like they allways do. that being have the same front end like the avalanche and the tailblazer and the new tahoe and the suburban. chevy got it right with the front ends of all of thoes but not the new truck. and the black one i found is a fake it is the same truck as the red one just some one changed the color and the rims and took off the exhausts pipe, dont belive me just look for your self. i relly think chevy and know that chevy can do a better job with there pick up just look at the tahoe and the a
