Honest? I want to be supportive, but don't like at all the delta between the front and the back. I think the inconsistency in the design is not good.

 

Now, chrome the front....

Hey it's your truck and what's done is done. Personally I really dig the color matched better thus the reason I have bought 2 All Terrains.

Most people just don't like chrome for some reason.

 

Personally I think it looks fine. You've basically taken your Denali and turned it into a SLT with the chrome bumpers.

 

What bug shield is that up front? I have the OEM one and I don't think I am in love with it.

It's the AVS Aeroskin I think. It's been a few years since I bought it. It sticks on smooth to the hood. It doesn't stick up at all.

So I was rear ended back in April. I went with chrome replacement bumpers because I was tired of the front bumper chipping. Thoughts??

Your truck looks great, imo! You had an unfortunate situation but were able to get a fresh and improved look to your truck. You asked for opinions and you can expect there will be people who don't share your taste. We all have our own preferences which only serves to make your choice more special! The most important opinion is yours!

I love the look of color matched bumpers but, I drive my truck a lot and I wouldn't wanna deal with the chips. IMO the color matched grill and chrome bumper is the best combo

Thanks man. I don't care too much about others opinions. Really throwing pics out for others that might be thinking of doing the same. I truly prefer the painted bumpers, but am a perfectionist so hate the chips all over the front bumper that is going to happen.

I like the chrome. Painted finishes to me are a more expensive option, for a much less reliable finish that you end up paying more for in the long run to keep looking new.

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.

      Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.

      Let's pivot this back. Someone said they wanted pictures.   Even better, there's already video. Pre-prod prototypes are already on the road and they're letting the press drive them.   JerryRigEverything did a good review. I really enjoy his content and EV adventures, so I was thrilled when he had the chance to review a Slate:

      The Charger EV was stillborn. Wrong car at the wrong price for Dodge's intended audience. Now at a good price with fire-sale discounts, and still not selling, it's still very much the wrong car. Again, Dodge's intended audience. I believe a lot of Stellantis' EV blunders were all under Tavares' regime at Stellantis...the board convinced him to move on. Neat car, just wasn't received on the level that would sustain mass production.   Dodge is headed in a better direction for its core business. I didn't think there was anything left to get excited about re: the Durango after its 15 year run, but they're just now releasing a 392 version that should price out in the low 40's. Nicely done. I'm not sure I would touch anything Stellantis makes with a 10' pole these days, but the Durango is still mostly parts designed like 3 parent companies ago so maybe it's still OK?
