Yup really.  Next time I’ll try to hide my “I’m cheap and dated” membership card.   They’re work truck trims so I give them a pass. 

I understand their purpose and drive a Silverado SSV at work but to say they look best???

Nah, I didn’t say the refreshed WT/Custom looked the best.  (Check my old post)

 

I said the refreshed HC and ZR2 looked the best.  
 

And I also said I “prefer” the previous style  WT/Custom frontend but I like the matte black letters on the refreshed.  Just don’t like that it’s not centered.  For what it is (a work truck), it’s fine.  I was comparing the previous style WT/Custom to the refreshed WT/Custom.  Maybe that wasn’t made clear enough on my part.  But not saying WT/Custom (previous or refreshed) was the best looking.

Can anyone get some better pictures of the front and rear door panels? Wondering if these would be a direct swap into last generations. 
 

thanks!

Different door panels.

Clearly the panels are different, not what he asked.

 

I doubt the door itself changed at all. Decent chance the panels would swap.

The interior door handle has changed as well. Not sure if the new one will swap to the other models. The exterior door shell hasn't changed, but I'd bet that the inner door structure has.

modifying the arm bar for the door panels is very easy. If the exterior door skin is the same, which appears it is then the likelihood of a re-worked interior panel from a structural standpoint is fairly low.  If anything, may just need longer wires for the power windows. 
 

What I’m more concerned with is the panel shape/size itself and the mounting tabs.

Sweet.  How is that 2.7 so far?  Any MPG reports?

So what is he trying to do? Put refresh door panels on a LTD?   Why just change the door panels?  Big expense for such minute cosmetic change. There's nothing that special about refresh door panels. Good luck getting them anyway.  I seriously doubt GM has them to sell right now like all other parts you can't get.

    • Follows the motif on the Sierra EV.  Satin finsh to the lower bumper area, painted above:   Elevation       Denali      
    • Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I do like it. I wonder if they'll bring back Smokey Quartz Metallic? 🤔 https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/06/here-is-the-all-new-2027-gmc-sierra-1500/
    • Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.  
    • New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.
    • No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.
