I like how the rail covers look but I'd worry that they'd get chewed up over time or fade.

I'm a spray in guy so I would be takin them off and getting the liner sprayed in over the rail.

That is what my current truck has done to it. Probably what the next one will too. I'm a big fan of Line-X.

Still working har everyone. Just finished some off road trail driving.

I don't think you will be able to take them off. I think the metal under them is skeletonized to save weight.

That's interesting. Merv can you confirm this?

Zane · May 9, 2013

Yes, caps will come off but it wont look pretty under afterwards.

Side by side, old vs new Silerado

That is one ugly grill, I think it's gonna take me a few years to get used to some of the changes, but some of the functionality seems great. I saw these at the Columbus Auto show and nothing jumped out at me that would make me want to upgrade from my 09 Sierra. Some are really sharp, but some options really aren't. Can't wait to see them on the road though.

Do you get to test drive any trucks with the V-6?

I love the looks of the 900's, but the more I see this new truck the more I like it, especially in the side by side.

the key fob looks bigger, but still not as big as some. They took time to give it a good design too.

looks like it can be used with gloves

They have defiantly touted a lot of that in this truck.

Not necessarily a bad thing

Glove-friendly is the new hip thing truck makers seem to go for. I always took gloves off when I get into the truck so not to get everything messy but I realize a lot of fleet buyers and such don't care as much as I do about the interior.
