When I saw that roof come off in multiple parts all I could think of is my leaky rear window in the Silverado ?

$112k for the one they are releasing next year. The 80k one doesn’t come along until 2024, and it won’t have half the power of this.   I’m sure they will sell out immediately but it’s too expen

This thing will be a home run for GM. Good to see them making this bold move

LMFAOOO, the starting price is 80,000. I don’t think you’re getting bailed out this time GM.

My Silverado HC was snickered at $70k. What’s another $10k.  Lol

 

I’ll tell you what it’s nice looking and the acceleration of this thing in 3 secs is quite impressive. Let it be on the road for couple years and work out kinks and I’d look into it. I like the looks and the features. 
 

Idk if I could give up my V8 exhaust note though??

I’m sure they will sell out immediately but it’s too expensive and too bold for me. Stick that “powertrain” in a normal looking Silverado and sell it for 70k...I’d have a hard time saying no to that performance. Good range too.

Its a niche truck and not really a work truck Per se. Yes its expensive but everything is expensive.

It will have a ton of power, 350 miles of range, some serious off-road chops with up to 15 inches of clearance , air suspension ,  37in tires , interior looks really nice. As poster above said, they will sell  out of this. Price wise it will start around 80 and work its way up to around 110k. But think for a second.  A fully loaded 2021 Power boost F150 will be around 79k . F350's get close to 90k.  You know the 2022 Silverado and Sierra half tons will sticker up to  around 75k.  A loaded Suburban gets close to 80k . Everything is expensive.

Looks pretty sweet to me. A bit too Ridgeline boxy though and has a little bit of the new Bronco feel. Price point is crazy, but they'll sell since they're at the same price point as the Tesla X. I do wonder what the tow rating will be and what range it'd get. For example, if towing 9,000 lbs, range of 200 miles ? This is why GM laughed when asked if they felt the Blazer or GM in general was missing the boat not competing with Wrangler and the new Bronco. They were holding the EV Hummer up their sleeve. While it is a different segment, I'm sure they're thinking don't waste resources there when this one is wide open. The deals will be when these are 3 years old with 30k miles on them. Probably get a used one for 50k and it'll be in great shape.

It's interesting.  It looks more capable than I was expecting. 

 

I'm just not sure who will buy these.  Who is the target buyer / demographic?

Raptor and Ram TRX customers. 

 

I'm sure they'll be a hit with the Hollywood crowd as well. GM will have no trouble finding buyers for these, just as Ford has no trouble finding customers for a $75K Raptor with zero rebates.

I was able to get a 2020 Crew Cab 1500 Denali Standard Box up to $70,230 without accessories. I wouldn't be surprised if the 2022 exceeds $75K in it's most expensive form.

Completely agree. It makes Tesla's truck look like a foolish, futuristic flop (IMO). 

 

GM is putting out a truck that looks like a relatively normal futuristic truck, but with incredible performance numbers and serious off-roading capacities. 

 

Plus, the tech on that truck gets me excited for future GM light duty trucks!

Yeah another great point you bring up here. Some of this trucks tech should for sure trickle down to our trucks. 

And yeah this really puts a dent in the Cyber Truck . Has everything the Cyber Truck has but it also has the off-road chops

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.
