GMC has 10 exterior color options, Dodge 12 and Ford 13.

Does GM have more colors to choose from that can be special ordered?

Not sure. On HD Rams they offer tons of special order colors.

I love the new blue on the Chevys. I'm a white or silver man myself but I like what I've seen so far. Always wanted a red one but just too flashy/loud for my line of work sewing as I use my truck for business.

Thanks for the replies.

I also like the blue, this would be my first choice out of the color options.

I like rareity, where you can go into a parking lot and know exactly which one is yours.

I can't say that I'm all that impressed with the color choices on either the Chevrolet or GMC side. Pretty disappointed, actually.

 

Everybody has their flavor, but I've never been a red, blue, or white kind of guy when it comes to automotive colors. I've always liked a neutral type of metallic gray...a TRUE gray, not one with a blue tint or a silver that has tan attributes.

 

Right now I have a hard time picking a color from the limited palette that GM is offering this year, but I guess I'll have to wait to see them in person to make a decision. I understand that color might not be the primary driver in some people's decision when buying a vehicle, but I think GM is really dropping the ball here.

Well I take that back , I have seen two in my area and others on here have seen some as well. . But gm is doing a piss poor job of letting people know about these colors ! Obviously this color is a winner , why not make it a stock color and shitcan the 39 variations of gray and silver ?!

 

I love gm trucks but the two things that drives me nuts, are the lack of a green color ( not seen since GMT 800) and the lack of the 6.2 except in very limited packages and option !!! Sorry rant over

GM is failing at both bringing creative colors & marketing the ones they do have. For the '13 model year there were three additional colors available in limited offerings. Yet no one knew about them unless you stumbled across one at the dealership nor could you build one on their site.

 

The Blue Ray Metallic/Graphite Blue should be a standard color on the 14's. Definitely noticeable when going down the road.

 

Ford has a dk green on their F150, but honestly do not see very many of them on the road. Not sure if that is a poor marketing effort or lack of interest which may be what GM is watching?

 

Edit: Just found a Lime Rock Green on a '14 Corvette...

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By Jus Cruisin · Posted

      A little late to this. I am going to order a 2027 as soon as the order banks open. It'll be a 3.0l again. This time in a Yukon.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I know when I was looking around last year to see if someone handled Amsoil gear oil to buy at the retail level which of course means full price. I found an independent shop that works a lot on GM/Duramax pickups and they did not bring in the 75W-85 as they just stuck to the 75W-90 for the front and rear as a standard practice for the HD trucks which makes sense anyway for the higher hp/torque diesel and pulling heavy loads in four wheel drive. I haven't changed my diff oils yet but still plan on using the 75W-85 for the front diff as I highly doubt I will be beating on the truck and figured for my use type the bit thinner oil would be to my benefit for the winter for that slightly less drag. Very different weather here all winter vs northern Washington near the coast, that's for sure.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Ok that confirms the extra quart theme they are still going with which must mean they have noted some initial use more so then some engines and probably the bigger factor in all of this probably isn't the engine so much as its the insane distance or OLM that lulls a lot of the driving public into driving their new vehicle off the lot and not even doing one short interval oil change because the manufacturer doesn't say different and if the dealer follows that logic as well. Selling the rarely needing to be serviced concept seems to go over well with the public that wants to get away with as little as possible for dollars spent on the vehicles maintenance and I bet there are 3.0 engines just like other vehicles out there that never have their oil checked by the owner which goes back to why they probably felt the need to add that extra quart to avoid a costly theme.    Speaking of cutting filters open, it was probably over two years ago now that a youtuber who buys vehicles to do longer term reviews and pulls a fifth wheel through the mountains of Colorado on summer trips and that becomes part of the testing. Anyway he had a GM HD with the 6.6 gas and a Ford 250 with the 7.3 gas at the same time and of no surprise the Ford had more power etc but somewhere along the way in the few thousand miles he put on the truck, he changed the oil and was seeing glitter and cut open the filter and yeah, things were not looking spectacular. The truck about that time or soon after seemed down on power compared to what it had been and then threw some engine code, I expect the cam/lifters were failing and so he brought the truck back to the dealer and made some deal to get out of it as he knew it would sit for months waiting on a new engine as they were so backlogged at the time. He kept the GM for some time after that using it exclusively until he sold it after buying his next vehicle to do a review on. Definitely the filter can tell a story when things are starting to go sideways, but it would be a sickening feeling to cut it open and be faced with an ugly mess like that and be running a magnet through the pleats and the oil on the dirty side of the filter and see all the fines sticking to the magnet.    The dealer may have some ideas based on experience as to where that coolant smell is coming from, I would imagine if they can't find it but its smelling they would put dye in it to they could give it a run cycle and use the black light to see where it pops up, if its a hose connection, water pump, rad or even a head gasket etc.
