Regret?

My favorite style was the 01-04 GMC 1/2 tons. The cloth seats were the best, and the trouble free 5.3s. If I find a clean low milage one I'll buy it.

I love the fact that the front end treatment on my '14 is only for two years. Who would want a truck that looks the same for 5 years? 10 years? I guess none of the young lads on here remember when they would completely retool every year. Anyone remember the (cars) 53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61, Chevrolet's? That was the good ole days. But then again I think my '14 Z71 grille looks waaay better than that hockey mask the Z's are currently wearing. No offense, just me. Plus I have one of the last models that doesn't have some stupid looking "Christmas " lights all over my truck. And you guys with '16's and up, keep your hate mail to yourself. I can assure you I understand the reason for all the new light treatments. I just don't like 'em. It's good to be different.

 

But......the Z71's in white do look pretty sexy in a "Stormtrooper" 'kinda way. Lol And don't even get me started 'bout the hideous new hoods on some of these trucks. Yuck! Haha The new 2500 hoods exemp. They're not too bad. That is IF they are there for something other than filling up full of pine cones,evergreen needles and two inches of bird shit. Just kidding, I know what they're for.

 

If GM wants to impress me they can do something regarding the stupid square wheel wells. Just because these trucks vibrate like a CostCo shopping cart with two squared off wheels doesn't mean they have to look the part. I mean the last time I looked wheels/tires were sorta in the form of a circle. Haha It shure would make it easier to run some 35 inch tires.

I'm glad I bought my 14 . I bought my truck right before the price increase was added . I believe it was like 1,500 dollars around the end of 2013 . I also have my truck in Topaz blue which still is my favorite color of this generation trucks . It was replaced with deep ocean blue in 15 . Which is still a nice color but imo I like the topaz blue better. The only thing that bothers me is that the only info screen I could get in a regular cab was the 4.2 inch . Then in 2015 they added the option of the bigger screen to the regular cabs.

Yeah, but don't you wish you could get a regular cab, short bed, with 8 in screen, 6.2, and other goodies only offered in LTZ or the Sierra equivalent?

Sorry double post. Fat fingers on my phone and it seems as tho I have two left hands today for some reason.lol

I agree I love that color. When I bought my 15 I wanted that color and they said they don't make it any more. I was kinda bummed,but I think it was the best looking blue for sure.

Yeah I wish too. If they made a Regular cab with the 6.2 it would be in my garage!

No regrets here. The bad thing about this is that nobody seems to remember trucks before GM put out the previous gen 07-13. That was 7 years of pretty much the same exact truck. The years before that 99-06 GM (at least GMC) had a change in the outer looks about every 2-3 years. Now it looks as if they are getting back to that cycle of changing the trucks just a bit every so often.

I like the exterior of the 04-06 Silverado. The interiors of the 14+ Silverados is really what did it for me. Finally feels modern.

I am curious to see how much difference the next generation truck is going to be over current trucks ..

My guess is not a huge change more of a refresh (think gen 5 to gen 6 Camaro styling). Big change will most likely be aluminum (beds?)

I do like the looks of the 16-17's, but one thing I do like about my 15 better-warranty. I see they changed it to 5 year 60,000 power train and now only 2 years of oil changes and tire rotation.

My '15 is only 2-years/24k oil change and rotate

Aluminum beds!!!!! NOoooooooo!!!!!!!!! Why!!!!!!! God! Why! As Trump would say ... "Turrible" "this is turrible" lol

Adjective

 

Dreadful, Awful, Appalling,Horrific

 

Use in a sentence

 

" I was carrying my Mother's wheel chair in the back of my Ford truck and when I had to oh so slightly hit the brakes, due to there being a tiny amount of morning dew in the bed of the truck the chair slid from the tailgate end of the bed towards the cab side and created a TERRIBLE caved in dent that nearly caused a rip in time and space therefore nearly creating a singularly commonly known as a BLACK HOLE.

 

True story btw

 

But seriously if everyone is going to make their beds out of aluminum then there should be some type of bed liner applied from the factory.

Even on my Silvy the last time I hand washed it I thought my arm was going to punch through the front fender just trying to scrub of a little bird crap. Terrible. Good thing with the weight savings I might save half a penny per mile.
