Pics of new 2014 Double Cab

[StinkyCheese]

My Dad's 2001 Silverado is extended cab long bed. It's one long ass mofo...

 

I learned to drive in a '93 ec lb 3500 and a 99 ex sb. If I had gotten my permit a few months earlier that 99 would have been a

94 cc lb 3500. The only problem I would have had with those duallys would have been on my driving test, they wouldn't have fit in the spot as the 2500HD I did it in barely fit. Not to mention the lady wouldn't let me back into a spot, 99% of my parking is backed in. I have fun driving my dad's cc lb 3500 duramax. I think I just enjoy spinning 4 tires in back instead of 2. The extra 2

feet behind me isn't noticable.

 

They had long bed ex cabs and to the best of my knowledge there is no "yet" on these trucks, it would be listed if they planned to offer it. I rarely see them, there can't be much market for them.

 

Yeah the 8ft beds are pretty rare here in Orlando. I'm so used to seeing the short beds and the whatever beds that when I do see an 8ft one I have to do a double take and figure out why the truck looks strange. Well then I guess it's a good thing I don't plan on buying my own anytime soon. The next generation will be out by then, if not the next next generation. That or I'll just end up inheriting dad's 09.

For the 25 guys out in the world that want an extended cab 8' bed I doubt they will bother building one. Biggest call for those here are company fleets that generally buy a three quarter ton anyway. The extended cab long bed guys are in the similar minority to the 6.2 SS regular cab crowd...

Got a little time in the truck.. my initial review after a week and 500 miles..

 

Power – more than enough for me with the 5.3 with the 3.42

 

Trans – trying to get used to the exhaust brake and the shifts. Truck doesn't roll as much on slow speed deceleration like the older trucks. I’m going to leave my opinion open on this one for a while as I hear the trans needs a few thousand miles to adapt and break in.

Fit and finish - real nice, interior and technology is great. Loving the SD card for all my music and Intellink for all voice commands. Also the LED running lights up front look sweet on the darker color trucks.

 

Two small issues - so far - wiper blades were defective from day 1. Dealer replaced in a few min and fixed the issue. A little interior trim piece is very slightly messed up. Hard to explain.. not a big issue by any means… barely noticeable…the dealer ordered a new one. If you didn't have OCD like me.. you wouldn't even notice.

The power rear window still works after 2 uses! But I won't press my luck too much until more spare parts become available in case it dies. Parts are real scarce .. had to go by 2 different dealers before I found one that just had just the wiper blades.

Overall, truck is plain awesome and light years ahead of the 2013. I’m amazed with all the technology in these trucks they can even get it all to work to begin with. I went through everything with a fine tooth comb and can’t find anything real to complain about.

OK thanks. Did GM ever offer the extended cabs with an 8ft bed or is it just this generation hasn't added it yet? My brain is scrambled and on top of that my memory isn't all that great. I know for sure you could get a 73 c10 with an 8ft bed since there's one sitting out front right now. Other than that I'm not sure :-( Tapped out with my dumb thumbs on my HP TouchDroid

 

yes. my 96 was an extended cab long bed as is my 2005. its the better combo there is. you have enough of a back seat to fit adults if you need to (not for hours at at a time though) and you can fit anything you have a fully functional bed- including my atv with the tailgate up, which is not possible with a 6.5 foot bed.

 

im just a tad bit upset about it lol. didnt want to step up to a 3/4 ton, but i may have too.

If it was offered I likely would be buying an extended cab long bed instead of a crew cab standard box. But it's not enough of an appeal to go with the heavy duty. I find 8' boxes very useful, particularly if you have a tool box like I do. Of course this comes from someone who uses their truck to do actual work with, which must be a distinct minority these days.

 

Sadly I don't really use mine for work all that much and I still find the short bed an annoyance. I'm just dumb and anal I guess.

Looks awesome!

I just ordered pretty much the exact same truck, only with chrome bumpers. Can't wait!

GMC-AT - The more I look at your truck, the more psyched I am for mine to arrive. Question for you, though. I'm debating bed protection options, and I see you got yours sprayed... is that color matched or black? In the one photo, it looks like the former. I've read mixed reviews on the color spray, interested to hear your take.

Mine is black line x ....I think color match is a waste. Plus you really can't see it anyway being inside the bed

Beautiful truck.

 

I started looking into a double cab as well.

 

I really have to fight the desire for one of the new trucks...

 

so long

The double cab back seat room is soooo small compared to the crew cab, get the crew cab because you may regret it every time one drives by you and you think "hmmmm i should of got the crew cab!" IMO

[GMC-AT]

Lol.... It's all about pros and cons. When I pass a crew cab I think ...man I bet he wishes he had a larger bed. Of course you can get the long bed crew cab now, but its like driving a bus
