Fords 21 F150. GM better step up their screen game quickly! I hope they follow suit and update the interior and front ends of the 2500's. They're just awful.

Doesn't look much different than the current GMs to me, other than a giant touchscreen with massive glare on it.  Agreed with the fact that at least it still has the buttons, although having them all way down like that to accommodate the screen seems like a bad trade off. 

 

I test drove a 2020 2500 Silverado in LT trim when they came out, interior wasn't anything ground breaking but it also wasn't a High Country either.  Biggest issue I had was the ugly front end, the higher trims at least get what looks like a normal front end.  They should put that on all of the 2500/3500.  And I still don't care of the 1500 front ends on the Silverados, low or high trim.  The GMC looks much better.

It's sad that guys are basing their truck purchase on the size of the screen. I mean really sad. What's wrong with you guys? You should just get a stupid Dodge then.

You guys all worried about how big the screen will be. Sad. I want to know what's under the hood. I could care less how big the screen is.

Oh its all about screens now, is it? 

Of course it is.  We need more stuff like this to compete with smartphones and distract drivers even more.  Why should drivers keep their eyes on the roads?

Be nice if they focused on truck things over keeping up with the INTERIOR of luxury sedans.

Ford’s trailer backup assistance thing, GM “trailer checklist” (lmao), and RAM 12” touchscreens (really lmao) are painfully telling as to the customers they’re trying to convert. In any event, looking forward to my ‘19 AT4.

IMO the tech needs to be simple and more modular. For example, minor changes in charging standards shouldn’t obsolete the entire suite of related options (wireless charging, slow ass charging ports).

Don't get me started! 

I'm pretty sure the awful styling of the Silverado HD has more to do w/ lacklustre sales than the interior. I'm thankful I replaced my 2011 sooner (w/ 2017) than later.

God.  Have you sat in one?  They're not good on the inside. 

I have owned an 82 C/K, '94 GMT400, 2000 GMT800, '04 GMT800, '11 GMT900 & now my '17. All regular cabs & mid level trims. The seat in this truck has to be the worst! The adjustable lumbar is pointless. I'm 6'2" & honestly don't feel comfortable in the truck.

 

The dash I could care less about. As someone said years ago about people complaining about the ride, "Buy an Impala" Wait they don't offer them anymore. Yes appealing to people that have no reason to be in a truck & as a result so that 'use' their trucks suffer.

Went and drove the new Chevy HC and GMC Denali early this past summer and GM sadly missed the mark on all fronts, especially with the front end on the Chevy.

A month or so later, after pulling a maxed-out two axle U-Haul trailer (and fully loaded bed) with my 2010 1500 Silverado, I again looked but this time drove a 3/4 ton Ram for a little better towing capacity.  Difference in comfort, accouterments, driveability and general looks was striking.  There's a reason Ram is gaining market share- They are researching the market and building better product. 

Down side as mentioned is the price.  The problem is the only GM offering I'd consider, the 1/2 ton GMC Denali, was nearly the same MSRP as the comparable 3/4 ton diesel Ram.  And no, the Ram wasn't the top-line but the Laramie which IS sadly comparable to the Denali.  I will be the 1st to concede the Ram traditionally drops value quicker but that is historical and would be interested to see if that holds true.

 

In the end, I opted against a new truck because the price for new was too stout for what I'd actually get.  I opted to update my "old" low-mile GMT900 truck.  The 900 (LTZ) interior may not have the integrated tech of the new trucks but it's better laid out and oddly more comfortable.  GM hasn't given me a compelling reason to trade, other than a dash that may not crack like the GMT900 trucks- yes, have already replaced mine! 

 

Hope GM fires whoever designed the current interiors and the horrendous Chevy front end and start over.  I say that currently owning 4 Chevy vehicles and being a GM fan for decades...

My '11 LT felt better than my '17. They seem to be going backwards with the comfort (supposedly something they really work on).

 

I don't think I've seen anything as ugly come out of GM's design studio since the Aztek? Whoo (fill in the blank) signed off on the HD? I know I sure wouldn't want one in my driveway. The occasional HD around here, but lots of new Rams & SDs.

I'd have to see that in person. I like the current look of my 2020 interior better.  But, after I see it in person...

I see some HD bits on there now.  Its got new fenders up front, box sides out back.  It's got the fender flares like the HD, its got the front of the box bed step too, you can see the outline of it in the last picture on that link.  

 

No shots of the interior but in picture #6 you can see the camo flap on the dash.  This has to be a 2022 facelift as 2021 is the same as 2019-2020.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
