I understand people are interested in power and payload capability in a HD truck, but it doesn't cost anymore to make a pretty truck that it does an ugly truck.

Agree.  Someone (wasn’t me that thought it up) once said “beauty is in the eyes of the beholder” ?...

I once said, beauty is only sheet metal deep, but ugly goes plum to the frame.

They need to give it more of the look of the current Tahoe and Suburban.. It would be much more appealing.

Lol, a pretty good parable of the original.  Not bad, not bad ?....

Opinions vary.  For my money it needs to excel in all 4 of those areas.

EXACTLY!!! Is it too much to ask to have a truck (for $60K plus) look as good as it performs?

Your first sentence contradicts your second sentence.  Just saying.... ?

Looks insanely better, truly whoever designed the 2020 model should be fired imo!

 

I don't understand why ford and gm have this need to always make their 2500 and up lines about as ugly as can be.

there is actually a perfectly good reason why: PROFIT. they make the work trucks as ugly as possible to try to push you the high dollar trim levels (preferably the High Country/King Ranch/Denali for maximum profit) to have better looking sheetmetal.

Nothing new about that.  A common marketing strategy used across a smorgasbord board of products.  

 

But, back to the cosmetic discussion; and my comrades expressing a desire for a “nice looking, a good looking truck, even a pretty truck, lol ?...  Anyway, an example, perhaps not on this thread but on others discussing what folks want on the new Silverado design there has been a lot of chatter about wheel well design.  Some think the rectangular cut used by GM since the old post WWII Advanced truck is good (I can’t bring myself to use the word pretty when discussing trucks, sorry) looking.  Others think it’s butt ugly and want GM to go to a round cut similar to what Ford uses.  So, which is it?  Rectangular or round?  Fly $h!t in pepper if you ask me ?....

Yes Comrade, I want my truck to look as good as it performs. Based on your profile, that truck of yours 2015 LTZ 6.2 4x4 probably looks bada$$ too. Ehh the wheel well debate will never die, had the 2008 Avalanche with the more rounded Suburban look, wondered why the Silverado and Sierra went to the rectangular look, didn’t like it then and now I own one...go figure lol. Love the pepper comment, gonna share that with the GF right before breakfast ?

Lol, thanks.  I’m just a good ole Texas farm boy at heart.  My three adult daughters are Dallas suburbanites to the core who roll their eyes when I drop one of my down-home country sayings around their friends.  They say I’m embarrassing which I completely agree with and thoroughly enjoy being, heh, heh ?.  But, back to the serious stuff - trucks.  About looks; never said I wasn’t a hypocrite.  I do consider esthetics for sure but it’s never been a show stopper for me.  Anyway, kinda wish GM still built the Avalanche as I only tow a 6,500 lb TT with my LTZ and an Avalanche with the 6.2L  8 or 10 spd tranny would probably do nicely and the rear coil springs would ride much better for my boney old butt than the rear leafs in the Silverado.  Maybe I should check out the Ram next time.  Did I really say that?  Lol ?...

Ummm, yes you did but even me being a somewhat loyal GM (truck division) owner...I’ve actually looked at one and it was very, very nice. I want too keen on all the leather work and for me the informational center was just too big. Looking at that with my old eyes assisted by bi-focals would make me dizzy ?? The Avalanche was really a nice vehicle for us and even with the 5.3 it towed my 24 foot bow rider pretty good although here in Florida we don’t have mountain type terrain. I see my old LTZ Avy every day and wish I’d have kept it to augment my stable ?

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
