I have to say I really like this new Chevy front end. I think it's the best looking front on a Chevy truck since the last year that I liked was the '87 model.Link

I may be prejudice but the GMs have it hands down in the looks dept this time. The other two failed miserably. JMHO

What I like is the increase in payload on the crewcab models, to 2260# and the new 8 speed.

That's what makes America great! We're all entitled to our own opinion.Even if it's wrong. :B

Eeh, a little better than the '14s. Still happy I got the last of the "old style" with my '13 ... inside and out.

I am not brand loyal and see each Chevy, Ford, GMC, Nissan, Ram & Toyota from a level playing field. I agree the '16 Silverado is a great looking truck and is the best looking of the bunch.I also see one major "ugly" spot that I'm having a hard time getting past. The wheel well openings. They are too big vertically. The 1500 2WD with some sort of fender skirt isn't too bad. But look at a 2500 4WD and it looks absolutely silly. There is nearly a foot of open space from the top of the tire to the sheet metal bedside. You can try to make the argument it's for bigger tires but that won't fly because there is only about 4" to the front/rear of tire. Was GM reducing metal to save weight and money?

LED running lights, LED fog lights but you couldn't updated the headlamps GM? Come on...

Wonder if it has anything to do with icing in colder temps?

GMC did a mid year TSB and update on the projector headlights. the originals on the 2015 2500/3500 were TERRIBLE. however after the TSB update I have to admit they rival my 2004 siverado qual lamps updated to have all 4 on in high beam and with HIR bulbs. And the low beam is extemely good IMHO AFTER the TSB or mid year change.

The update is a newer and better bulb, different aiming, and boosting the voltage to the bulb. Dealer was amazed at the difference after they updated mine.

The LTZ or greater packages get LED head lights.

So now we are going by looks on who has the best truck? I guess it has to be something!

I wonder if it`s still going to cost near $200 to replace a headlamp bulb? or is it going to be a grand now when the LEDs go bad?

Yep, it is available in the LTZ NHT package and it does an awesome job with 75 MORE horses.

$200 to replace a headlamp bulb hugh....?????? on my 2015GMC or 2004 Silverado replacing headlight bulbs is at most a 15 minute job, bulb is maybe $10.

Probably quoting dealer cost. And LEDs pretty much last forever. Much ado about nothing...
