2011 1/2 Ton?

[ajensen383]

Anyone have any information about the 2011 1/2 tons? I saw that the order banks will be open at the end of April for them. Just wondering what improvements will be made, before I order a 2010.

I hope not much because I just ordered a 2010

GM hasn't posted any information yet for the half tons.... only the new HD trucks have any order guide info published at this point.

as long as i got a standard cab, an 8' bed, a V8, and limited slip rear end..... those are the only options i need

2500/3500's are getting a refresh... come on GM, don't forget about our 1500's!!!

I wouldn't be surprised to see the 1500s adopt the updated grilles/front bumpers, but there probably won't be much else changed (kind of like the '03 refresh on the GMT800).

You mean you can live without a leather/wood heated steering wheel with 35 buttons on it?

Same as every year. Bigger bolder emblems, 5% higher & less standard equipment.

 

 

You forgot thinner bumpers and tailgates.

The steering will still clunk and front axle seal will leak a touch less.

and the chrome will rust within 1 month instead of 3

it'll run on 3 cylinders going down hill with your foot off the gas and a light tail wind, but it might stay in V4 with a 16mph head wind instead of a 14mph wind.

the paint might not scratch as easily

the seats will collect 50% less lint

 

lol

My understanding from my last work with GM was that the 1/2 ton is skipping the 2011 redesign (due to bankruptcy) and remaining pretty much the same until 2015 IIRC.

Remember, the 2011 update, in terms of cosmetics, is merely a "Mid-Cycle Enhancement" of the existing truck -- and the HDs getting their new chassis architecture. I highly doubt GM will leave the half ton trucks completely alone until 2015... that would simply be too long without any changes whatsoever. A MCE is typically much less drastic than a full redesign.

The C35X program (new 1/2 ton trucks) is still on track for MY2013. Changes for 2011 will be minor. That's why I've tagged a 2010
