I might be the minority, but I like the way both the 2019 Chevy's and GMC's look. I wonder if these trucks are going to be just reskins of the current K2XX trucks, or if they are getting all new suspension, drivetrain, etc.

Lots of people saying the Silverado looks like a Ford. The Sierra looks more like a Ford to me, with the headlights and grille.

I assume this is a render?  A very good one at that?  The more I look at it, it seems very GMC press picture to me.  I didn't catch any thing official from GMC anywhere however...

 

I will say the Silverado gets my vote again this time around as well.  Last time GMC had my vote was pre-2004.

I sure hope the GMC looks better than that artist rendered picture above.. It looks too much like a Titan with that oversized grill/front end.

No. It is the truck.

The Carscoops article states it's "what it could look like" and details it as a "photo rendering." It is not the truck.

Interesting Photoshop of the rendering. Looks pretty good.09d1cd84172d3955969fa0201c16786c.jpg

Looking against the newest spyshots I could find, its very very close though.  What they rendered is probably 90-95% right.

Well that would look better than the Silverado. Gosh that new Silverado is hideous. It will probably grow on me in time, but first glance is "that thing is FUGGGLY'

Ever since I started paying attention to new GMs back in the early 90s, the new gen of anything usually took awhile to grow on me eventually supplanting the former style. I really don't see that with this new breed for me this time. However, the Silverado is badly colored matched in certain spots and it highlights its weird features like the protruding fender-into-headlight area thing. On the GM Authority FB someone was posting photochops of it all one color and it looked MUCH better. I'd like to see the LT "Allstar" version with standard looks and chrome before I pass full judgement. The special edition release as a first look was an interesting move for GM. No doubt to make a bold statement, but it may have went too far. The GMC looks way more "normalized".

It's far from hideous, but you haven't even seen it in other iterations/models with painted or chrome bumpers, how can you make a final judgement? Do you always make premature assumptions with out all the facts and options?

 

Besides, looks shouldn't matter. There is no reason to buy a truck based on looks when there are so many more important factors. If it has everything you want, does everything you want at a price you want are you going to not buy it because it doesn't look good or cool?

 

Preliminary I give the GMC the edge but they are two different styles. Will be good to see the other styles (LT, Z71, LTZ, ect) as well as the GMC in the flesh. Design will play zero factor in my choice between them when it is time, it will come down to price between similar options, lowest OTD price wins. Color will though, in Texas I won't do black.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
