It's really funny how haters don't do their homework! GM has had a max tow option with a higher payload for years. A larger crew cab??? What's that even mean? Keep on hatin'! Lol
Hatin', :D :D
Come on, I'm glad GM finally updated their smaller crew cab. Ford updated theirs in 2009 and made it bigger. Dodge updated their in 2009, and if I remember correctly, Toyota updated their crew cab in 2007. It's time GM stepped up the size of their crew cab.
While GM had their 6.2L max tow package option, it barely raised the payload. Now in 2014 they have updated their payload to equal Ford's higher payload. That's a good thing.
While I admit I'd never allow a GM to park in my driveway, I'm glad they have stepped up to the plate offering more than Dodge and Toyota in terms of payload, with now a drivetrain and crew cab size that's respectable.
As I said, this is a good thing. Competition is a very good thing and now that the playing field is now getting level, it's time to push it even more!
I just don't think it's right to start chest thumping over what other makers have been doing for years. I do think they should be acknowledged for updating their truck with great features, great capability, and a great drivetrain.
Now if you want to talk about a truck that has never been updated, that's the Nissan Titan. The body and drivetrain hasn't changed since my previous 2004 XE Crew Cab 4WD Off Road truck.
