Chevy Silverado 2014 and GMC Sierra 2014

[Chevy man 72]

I belong to the GMI forum and i have to agree with all that Chevy Tech77 said about them.

Well, if the newer Crew 1500s get the 6 1/2 ft bed, I may stick with a 1500 rather than move to a 2500 when I replace this crew 1500 Vmax in a couple years. I'm not sure about moving to a diesel, even the 4.5L, even if it does have 900 lbs/ft 800hp and gets 45 mpg...well maybe if it gets all that. But, my thought is that there's probably some fleet quantity emission limitation that is or will prevent a 1/2 ton diesel offering. Can you imagine if every 1500 in L.A. had a diesel? Or even every 3rd one?

Wondering if any indication was given as to when we will see what the 3/4 tons look like????

You need to educate your source.

 

At the time I wrote that everything said 8 speed. I have no source other than the usual news sources online. Not terribly worried, just hope that if GM does do anything new they keep a normal shifter. The Chrysler 300 I had all last week still drove me nuts with its stupid shifter after six days with it, and that is still somewhat close to normal. That experience alone will keep me from ever looking at a Ram with that knob setup. I haven't used it obviously but I just don't see the need to depart from normal column and console shifters that have worked fine for decades.

The company I work for makes Transmisson springs for GM. From what I have been told the 2014's will still have the 6 speed transmisson. Only Corvettes and some Caddilac models will get an 8 speed trans. GM will have a 10 speed trans for the trucks in 2017.

Any idea if the rear cabin area of the crewcab/ext cab will have heat/air ducts?

[AgDoctor]

I also was wondering about the ducts. I am going to assume there are none, so when I see for myself I will not be disappointed. Not like I ride in the back anyway.

There are some air duct looking vents in the backs of the seats. Check this site out for pics. They are in the plastic areas where the map pockets usually are. They must tie into the ventilated seats, maybe only on the high end models.

8 speed is still in validation, 10 speed isn't going to happen. A couple of the eu import companies played with 10 speeds a few years back and found they were a waste.

ChevyTech77 thanks for the info. I am wondering if all the trucks will come with 6 speed and the Denali with 8 speed. That's how Gm did the last model rollout with 6 speeds not being available on all trucks until 2009 almost 2 years after launch. But the 6-speed was avail on Denali models at launch.
