I'll Be Driving The New 2011 Hd Trucks Next Week

[Zane]

General Motors has been gracious enough to invite me next Monday/Tuesday to get some behind the wheel action on the new and heavily updated HD Silverado/Sierra. I'll get a chance to test the new setup on a variety of roads and with towing a trailer.

 

So, I'm at your disposal. What do you want to know? What do you want me to check out? Any requests for photos?

 

I've also driven the 2010 Ram Cummins, 2009 PowerStroke, and a 2007 Duramax- so I'll be able to do comparisons.

Take a lot of pics. The ones that GM releases are all photoshopped. I want to see how these things look in the real world.

I'm curious to hear how the exhaust brake works out. That would be a nice upgrade to my '07.

See where the speed limiter cuts you off at How does acceleration compare with the other models?

Im real curious about a yukon denali 2500,

my 04 yukon 2500 was special ordered by the previous owner and has everything a denali does minus the woodgrain and denali badges

pictures of the rear leaf springs and entire under chasis if it's not a big deal for you would be great! Is this only the duramax you will be testing out, or a gasser as well?

First off LUCKY! How about the fit and finish of the interior. Also your take on the power of the motor. If we give you to many thing to look for I'm sure I could help especially in the drive it like you stole it category.

Yes, yes, yes! I am waiting for my dealer to price one for me. A gas 2500 . . . I will be towing a heavy horse trailer (gooseneck) with 2-3 horses. It will also be my daily drive to work, etc. So, anything you can tell me would be helpful. Like, is it really worth trading in my 2008 for this one?? Is it really that much better? Because I've worked all the kinks out of my '08 and wonder . . . .And is it really 2 inches taller? This would affect the level on my trailer.

Noted all the requests thus far. As far as I know, this will be a Diesel only drive, fyi.

[KMGZ400]

take pics of everything... and im curious about the exhaust braking...

 

 

and the 2011 HD have all new brakes too!

[Shatterz]

Please take lots of pics on the undercarriage! I would also like to know if GM is still coating the new frames with their wonderful waxing coating or if they have finally decided to move ahead into the 21st and e-coat the frames.

[Zane]

I'm back! The new trucks are amazingly impressive but I can't provide any driving impression specifics until after Monday (embargo date).

Here's a preview of the photo gallery I'll be posting later today (hopefully).

 

[ryan_hermanutz]

Sweet! Did you guys drive it like it was your truck or like it was a rental?

[bax467]

Can't wait to at least see the pics.................you going to post them on this thread?
