2017 Ordering Specs are Live


Recommended Posts

Has it been confirmed that there will be a new redesigned truck for 2018? Or is it just speculation?

You want a letter from Mary? Everyone knows it is coming in early 2018/late 2017 as a 2019 year model. Check the supplier contracts.

Push button doesn't make much of a difference to me either, and yes I've had it before on my 2008 Corvette, our 2011 Lincoln MKX and now on our 2016 Audi SQ5. To be honest the truck has more than enough options for me, it does anything and everything I could ask for, my only input would be a better radio system that keeps reception and the option to turn off the AFM from the setting menu. Also GM needs to put in a sport mode for the transmission, while the new 8spd is better than the 6spd the shifts are still painfully slow both up and down and lacking in firmness.

 

Co-worker got rid of his 2014 Denali for a 2016 Ford F-150 Platinum. He said it is down on power with the 5.0 versus the 6.2 in his Denali, but he said Ford at least put a sport mode in it and that when you are in sport mode the throttle input, steering and transmission shift points are sport on with better performance.

Praying for some rear amenities. Currently no vents back there is a joke.

I want the flat floor rear and vents in the back damn it.

Screw the push button start.

I'm waiting for the voice command to start the truck.

I can already hear the people yelling at their trucks "Start! Start!.....START!!!....You f***ing son of a B**ch STAAART!!!...&^%#)(@f*ck*&^#% START!!!!!!!!!

They should add blind spot detection mirrors too.

Yeah never understood why they don't offer this.

Maybe the pics and specs will be known but won't be in customers hands until at least Sept of 2018 if it is a 2019 model.

My guess is that the 2019 model will be the next generation Silverado and Sierra . As some have said I think early 18 is when you will see them come out. There is no way they can wait 7 years like they have in the past with the competition from Ford and Ram . Doing a refresh after 2 years proved that IMO .

I know the ford flat floor is stealing sales

Yep, it is a different market these days. Change fast and on the regular, or perish. GM has always gone far too long on model generations, even 5 years is a stretch nowadays. People are hungry for the latest and greatest, even though very few of us can actually afford it.

 

With the next generation undoubtedly having more new features, all of the sudden car loans will be 10 years just to get the payment down.

Dammit GM, start offering some love to the regular cabs. We should be able to order the 6.2l, console, etc that can be ordered on the extended, dual cabs.

 

PS, on the redesign how about giving us a bit of that behind the seat space back as well.

 

Until there are some more upgrade options available, I have zero interest in upgrading.

So as a tech, I HATE push button start. As a consumer they may be OK. But only with the auto unlock, keep your keys in your pocket option. Not all have both options. If you have to get the key out to get in then you might as well use it to start.

Yeah, I hate push button also. Smart entry is pretty cool, but push button would turn me away. Not a fan of having to press the brake pedal to start the vehicle, and It takes more effort to push the button to 'on'. If you could rapid push it twice for 'on' I'd probably feel better about it, but every push button I've used is like waiting 10 years between pushes or it doesn't recognize.

I agree!! More room behind the seats and the 6.2 option in the regular cabs ! Can't even get a sliding rear window on the regular cabs anymore .

What's so maddening about the situation is that for most of these options there is absolutely no reason why they couldn't offer them as they would bolt right in like any other model.
