Great. Now they've ruined the Sierra with the rectangle fenders.

I am pretty underwhelmed. Definitely not going to buy one for looks. They still look good, but not a big improvement.

Agree, I was looking for a bigger improvement on the interior. Have to wait and see one in person

I want to see what the HD's look like but heard they aren't being displayed until spring

Soft, Junk.

I have owned GM trucks since 1989, always owned several at a time (work trucks) and last year I bought my first Ford. I couldn't find a single GM 1500 truck NOT made in Mexico!

I have owned 6 GM "Trucks" since 1976. "Soft Junk"

You didn't look hard......

Problem is that is where the 1500 CC's are made. All 3/4's are made in Flint and mixes of everything else done between Flint, Indianapolis and Silao. So in reality 2/3 are done outside of Mx, just not the type you wanted.

Nice step forward- but I dont think they went far enough.

Dodge has 2 more gears in the trans now, and a six speed only puts them on par with Ford.

I dont see Silverados 6.2 competing with ecoboosts torque curve at low RPM without turbos especially in the heat and altitude.

On par with Ford for direct injection.

Behind ecoboost for cam timing efficiency with only 2 valves per cylinder.

On par with ford electric steering

I like the cylinder deactivation thats a plus- but will a 50% active 6.2 deliver better mileage than a lightly loaded 3.5 with a better combustion chamber or will it just beat a hemi or ford raptor?

Its going to be hard to beat the ecoboost.
