we'll the denali looks a bit, well , luxurious interior but with a ugly interior. But seriously i just HOPE that the transmission wont change by 2016.

but the good thing, is its more quieter than the current one, with a bit more real leather rather than half the car filled with plastic.

Any idea when it'll be ready for the market?

Wow, I think this is comparable to the bad design (pinched front end) of the Silverados/Sierra starting with the 2003 model. There was a big backlash against the move to that look. When the 2006s came out, I know I cheered. I think GM just made the same mistake here. Now I haven't read what GM has in store for these vehicles long-term, but if they are trying to go the Explorer route and turn it more into a car than a truck, I think they are missing out on the niche that they have here. The guys I know who buy these vehicles buy them for one of two reasons. One, they have a large family that can't fit into a crew cab truck but need the big vehicle to tow a large boat, camper, etc. Or two, they need a large vehicle for whatever reason but are vehemently against getting a minivan and like the truck-like look and ride.

 

I don't get why the Suburban/Tahoe has diverged so far from the Silverado (and the same on the GMC side). I liked when the front-ends were the same. And so here we are in this perplexing situation where a brand new truck has just been released and is getting rave reviews for everything about it, including its looks, but the ugly SUV is released. This image where people slapped the new Silverado grill on the front of the Suburban looks SO much better than what was just released today.

It's badass! Kind of how the new Dodge Durango looks pretty badass. Instead, we get something that looks like a Ford Flex or Explorer. I mean, can you imagine the Secret Service tooling around in the 2015 Surbuan? It just won't look right. I have a feeling they will be ordering the GMCs from here on out. Or maybe a different grill will be offered for the Chevys that will make them tolerable.

 

I know that any big release like this is kind of shocking to the system and the new looks have a way of growing on you, but I'm not so sure this time. I think they missed the mark on this one and turning off their core buyers.

Very nice overall. I dislike the odd eyelash on the tahoe headlight. Also, the tahoe look like large versions of the equinox from the front. The yukon is clearly mimicking the terrain. The body ques are very similar. I understand family appearances, but making a flagship look like a little brother is not creative. I dig the tahoe lines and love the medium brown interior.

Did you drive one or just ride in one when you made that observation?

We'll i rode the truck, it seems a lot quieter than the old one.

If all I saw was the front on either one of them, I would swear they were both mini-vans. They lost their "toughness" which is what I liked about the SUVs from GM.

 

Sadly, I find myself eyeing up the Jeeps now. Especially the Grand Cherokee.

Almost the exact same front end as 2003??? :confused:

Nah, the Chevrolet face need much more work that just tweaking the headlight assembly wrap around. The theophiluschin rendering is so much better in every way.

Couple of Quick Observations and comments.

 

Why Does GM half ass everything they do?

 

1) Why do they not offer the 6.2 in the Suburban? They Used to.....I want a 4x4 not AWD so I can select what to be in and have 4 low.

 

2) Why not bring in the 8 speed Auto at redesign instead of constantly updating each model year to date the last. I like upgrades, but hate to purchase and have mine outdated the next year. Do it right the first time. You sideline educated buyers when you do this stuff.

 

3) Why do you release so early that you do not have an actual release date and pricing. How about have everything inline, so that if I like what I see I can price and order.

 

Those are my mine complaints with GM.

 

As far as the new body, It is not bad and will grow on me. The front ends seem mini-van like.

 

Based on the pictures, the interior is a score and looks well thought out. I will have to see in person. The fold flat seats should have been done in 07, so nice change but way over do.

Yeah, I've gotten a lot of looks and comments at my LTZ being body color and polished aluminum. Had a girl tell me it was "beautiful" one day. Wish chrome delete was an option.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
