I think Ford has the advantage when it comes to the engines offered at lower trims. The 2.7 and 3.5 have better performance than the 5.3. The 6.2 should be brought down at least to the LT if not LS model.

A mat without the cutout under the gas peddle. When I pay for off road packages I want to actually get one. A real suspension, real skid plates. Round wheel wells to allow larger tires. And along with that again paying for an off road package and getting pathetic tires is bullshit. Also when I pay for premium sound like Bose be top of the line and really pump. Tow mirrors with cameras and safe change alert sensor. Ability to disable AFM and any of the other "drivabilty" options. A smooth tranny without issues. Powder coated frame and full under coat. What really bothers me in most of these areas I already paid for these upgrades.

You appear unhappy with the brand of truck you chose. It sounds like a Raptor would be a good fit for you however you have to pay even more!

Get rid of those ugly square wheel wells!

 

Make the 2018 look like a full sized version of the Colorado! Done.

 

Get rid of AFM an add a turbo instead.

The next generation Silverado/Sierra needs to have an available duramax option. With Ford, Dodge and even Nissan offering a diesel, GM needs to put that 4.5 into testing again.

Not at all. I love it compared to my f150 that I had prior. HATED that. Granted not a Raptor but couldn't believe how poor the inside was designed. But yeah a gmc raptor would be cool

I would just like to go back to being able to order what you want and not have to buy an entire packet to get one or two items in it. I gave up a lot of options this time around because I refused to pay for things I didnt want or need to get the few things I wanted. I wanted a new truck with

 

5.3L

4x4

black in color

Crew cab

leather

auto dimming mirrors

the 4 aux upfitter switchs

and no crome

 

Those options where going to cost me a lot because of the other non sense I was going to have to buy. Power telescoping wheel and pedals, lane departure, and hill decent assist are among the few. I didnt want those things, I wont ever use them and dont want to pay for them just to get what I want.

afm gone...forever

 

 

It may be if Trump relaxes recently imposed epa mileage numbers like he says .

I really want to see manual transmissions offered again but accept the difficulty with making them satisfy EPA requirements. I also accept AFM as a new reality. I sure hope that relaxing "mileage" numbers doesn't mean we're going back on improvements already achieved!

I don't understand the hate for AFM...GM and Dodge have used it forever. I once drove a worn out Dodge 1500 with over 200k miles for work that would've had Multi-Displacement and it ran fine.

8' bed on the double cab 1500... the 6.5 is just too short.. even a 7.25' would be better.. Just to be able to close the gate while having a couple dirt bikes in the bed would be great. Having the tail open is not always an option,, like when a camper is on the back.

Due to EPA mpg mandates, you will never see the 6.2L available in lower trims. In fact, it is doomed to disappear altogether very soon.

 

If GM could just build a truck that doesn't shake or shift like an epileptic having a seizure I'd be a return customer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.

      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!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      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.
