Just released this morning on the Chevy site.  I personally think its a great commercial to showcase the different trims on the new Silverado.

The most "trim levels" seems like a somewhat odd thing to brag about.  The difference between a "trim level," "package," or "special edition" is somewhat ambiguous. 

 

For example, in 2018 "Elevation" was a "package" offered on a Base "trim level" Sierra.  In 2019 "Elevation" is a "trim level."  Did the content really change much?  It does not look like it.

It is a great commercial, but should have been out 2 months ago!

You still cannot build a 2019 Silverado on the Chevy website for crying out loud.... :loser:

I'm an engineer so I have an embedded hatred of anything marketing and marketing related.

 

But GM's marketing department is really bad.  Like inept.  This commercial is better than those "real people reacting to cars behind doors" or the "That's a Buick?!?" commercials, but just barely.  

 

8 trim packages???  Stop the presses!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

Funniest part is not one pic of the interior.  I think GM knows were they screwed up but will not admit it.

The Build site seems like a cheap afterthought.

As much as GM skimps on their physical products..... they are skimping on advertising as well.

Not the best way to keep a business going if you ask me.

Truck sales for 3rd quarter so far.... RAM is leading GM and It is no wonder why.

I suspect GM's marketing strategies may reflect knowledge not readily available or perhaps contrary to some GM-Trucks forum members.  I do not know, for example, why RAM outsold GM on the chart above.   It my be "no wonder why" to some but RAM would be 5th in line for my truck buying dollar.

As an advertising/marketing guy, I’ll say you need us to sell the products you engineer! [emoji90]

On the one hand, marketing messages have to be rooted in product truths.

On the other hand, if 8 trim levels is the best thing I can talk about, then we’re doomed LOL

IMHO this is the case of a marketing client wanting a competitive claim, with no regard to how insignificant that claim might be.

The 19's are starting to grow on me.  First time I saw one, it looked like a bloated Colorado to me.  That Trail Boss is bad ass though!

One thing that I see on this chart is that RAM is outselling Silverado and Sierra but not GM.  When I'm truck shopping, I treat Sierra and Silverado as the same brand.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      2024 l8t . Ac has never felt really cold even new. But lately it seems a little warmer. When it gets in the upper 80s and a little more humid it just does not keep up. And sometimes at idle it gets warm. My wife's 2008 envoy is better. My son's 2016 is colder. I have an apointment for a third try Monday the 29th at a third dealer to try and get cold ac before my warranty is out. The first two told me something about so many degrees under ambient temp blah blah blah seemed like they didn't want to mess with me. This was set at low. Max air fan speed high. 87 degrees and a little humid.   .

      OCI, not when but why?

      It isn’t all that bad in the world with purchasing power versus quality. My first car had just basic equipment. My oil choice was conventional oil. The life expectancy was around 100K miles. During that time you could expect to change all the accessories. Today with inflation you can buy the equivalent. It comes fully loaded with 4 doors. The life expectancy passes 100K miles replacing no accessories. If reaching that milestone is your goal you simply follow the recommended service intervals. If you want more miles simply do more maintenance. When in doubt you can check the internet or YouTube for information. The selling of any product hasn’t changed since the beginning of time. The power of the buyer has. The price of the product hasn’t changed much with inflation. The buying public wants more. Competition and the buying public has put the sellers in a box. The greed is on both sides. You can still get more for less. You just have to do with less. That used to be popular. The buying public has changed . It’s the sellers that are trying to keep up. As Grumpy tries to inform the readers in this case with maintenance. If you want more. More effort is required. That information wasn’t available this easily just a few years ago. I believe the public has more power. Getting information is easier.

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      By SFC Retired · Posted

      Gentlemen, I'm new to this forum. My question is, I thought I have read somewhere that the rear wheel liners for 2024- 2026 GMC Sierra HD3500 DRW can/will fit the 2023. I can't seem to find that information again and wondering if anybody has any knowledge if these will work or not with the 2023? Part# is 84892542. Thank you for any information. The GMC parts counter wasn't able to give my any definitive answer?

      Spacers aren’t safe anyway, so you’re better off just buying something else.

      OEM Trailer Hitch Receiver - Impact tightened by shop

      By carkhz316 · Posted

      Its because they have thread locking compound on them. I would bet money that they are actually reusable and not a literal TTY bolt because GM and most other OEMs don't trust techs and the end-user to apply thread locker properly in the same way they don't trust anyone to solder properly (and instead instructing crimps everywhere). Torque To Angle =/ Torque To Yield.   If you think dealerships or any technician replaces every 'discard' bolt in every procedure, I have a bridge to sell you.
