Agreed! I'm hoping! Or maybe I'll have to make a road trip down there myself and take some pictures! :thumbs:

As luck has it I just may be due for a new rig about the time that this truck hits the market.

My guess is it will be a GMT-900 based concept, probably similar to that GMC Sierra HD shown last year. I doubt we will see anything worthwhile until 2013. Maybe the 2013 NAIAS. Relax, they are coming.......

I don't know why you guys are up in arms about making sure someone takes pictures. If GM shows the new truck at this fair, the press will be all over it. This is GM's biggest seller and you can bet your ass that there will be hundreds of photos when it debuts.

Hell I'll bet, no no, pretty much guarentee you that if GM does show this truck there, GM THEMSELVES will hire photographers to take and post pictures world wide for everyone to see.
Chevy tough.
Anytime baby!

Another rumour is that the debute will come in July.

http://www.dieselpow.../#ixzz1qg1V9IW3

"Reason to believe"

We have reason to believe

that GM will be the first to market. With a remodeling scheduled for ’13 models, what could be better than slipping in the diesel option at this time? We’ll soon see,

but our sources tell us

a ½-ton diesel Silverado could be

unveiled as early as July

, and you will indeed find a compact V-8 under the hood. Look for Ram to follow suit, and then Ford.



hat resaons?
