Nothing wrong with that. I only take issue with you coming in here wagging your finger at everyone who did buy one, and calling us brainwashed when you’re as tied to the brand as anyone.

Totally agree with you I'm tied to the brand.I just want people to speak up ,and not take what GM shoves down or throats.So they can put more money in share holders pockets.Didn't mean to upset anybody.I'm going back to the K2 side.But I will be back when the 2011 model comes out.

I think the 2011 model has been out for a little while now.

My complaints about the T1x interiors:

1. Lack of color options for the AT4/Denali.

2. I strongly dislike the 4WD controls being buttons.

3. The gauge cluster is terrible - looks very cheap. Even on the Denalis, I like the K2 graphics much better.

I drove a 2019 Ram Rebel for a week. Loved the interior minus the red accents (created some glare). When I go to buy another 1/2 ton, I'd buy the Ram simply for the interior if they're all the same in price. The current Ford interior is better in layout and looks than the T1x interior. GM really missed the mark here.

And I still like the interior (truck one) in my GMT-900. It's a little basic, but looks good and is functional.

Agree with #1 and #3, but not #2.

I felt the gauge cluster was really lame when I first looked at a new 2019 to replace my GMT-900 2007 1500 CC. However, seeing the instrument panel with the truck OFF doesn't help. There's a nice, cool backlight to the gauge cluster once the truck is on. I have come to find the cluster simple and clean, after owning my RST for 5 months. Could it be jazzed up some? Sure. But I would rather have a calm cluster than a busy one.

I don't like how Ram has gauges on both sides, split apart. At least GM keeps all the smaller, secondary gauges right in a row with one another.

The F150 digital dash is nice, but the lower-trim one is UGLY. I've always found Ford interiors ugly as sin, though. Take that FWIW.

They need a larger fuel tank at least as an option.

Yes, the gauge cluster is definitely one of the nicest things about the 2019 interior.

As mentioned many times before, they are very nice and clean - nothin silly. I think some may actually want a sports car than a truck lol.

At any rate, its gonna be hard to top the new 2019 Silverado.

This new "2021-2022" interior will no doubt probably be better than what is currently available.

The real question is...… at what cost?

Trucks prices are already ridiculous enough as is.

T1 was a step back from K2 IMHO.

LOL that is meme of the day.

I was watching a video about the "new" 2014 Silverado this AM, and Roman from TFL Truck was talking about how expensive the High Country was, being listed at $50K. LOL

I would kill to be able to buy a truck with heated seats for less than $50k. One of my coworkers offered to sell me his 2017 F-150 Lariat for $48k ($70k new) but I didn't want to deal with 12 recalls.

Hey, if there’s any bright spots about these trucks after all of the talk by some about de-contenting, it’s that the LT & RST All Star truck’s now come with heated cloth and a heated steering wheel. Around here the double cabs are sitting around 35 give or take. A few grand more for a crew. Not a bad value it at all.

Yeah, I got my loaded RST - including leather buckets (heated), Z71, bed protection, HD camera package, etc for $43K.

Smart move on avoiding the F150.

I'm in Canada so prices and deals are a little different here. Hard to get down to $43k when the MSRP is 60.

12 Recalls?

Is that all? I guess 12 is better than 20! :loser:
