2019 GMC Sierra

Well here is the info on the above truck.
Enjoy II
Note for the guys that don't like the looks of the new Ram I don't think you are going to like this truck either. Do love the tailgate however, beats the heck out of Fords stripper pole!

On edit they it is also getting a 3.0 diesel engine.

  • Just be careful. I got booted from another forum for a week for referring to it as a tailgayte!
    Has to be the dumbest feature I’ve seen on newer trucks in a while..... unless you don’t use your truck as a truck. That will last about 3 weeks in construction work. Bad enough the trucks already fold like a cheap suit. But this? Terrible idea
  • Designed Purely for the Fashion Statement crowd...who does NOT use their trucks as trucks...but as cars...

    Wonder how much it would cost to repair or replace after a fender-bender...or when sand/grit/gravel/etc gets into that mechanism and it won't close right...dumb

    Notice the two wine glasses in the cup holder indentations of that tailgate...who has wine glasses on their tail gates... ??? A maybe a can of beer while working, but think most employers would frown on that during work hours...heck even doing stuff around the house/properties/etc...never allow folks helping me drink alcohol till AFTER the job is done...

    Kind of looks like the new Ram with F150 headlights.
  • I can not see that tail gate lasting more than 2 loads of my 450 lb lawnmower into it! well, maybe 3 or 4......but, some of us that use trucks as trucks.......
    Even local owner of GMC and Chevy dealership mentioned this tailgate a month or so ago......is not sure it would or will work for "MY" "contractor" of any sort use!

    Link not working. I wonder if it took them a decade to engineer that tailgate or just hoping that is the time it takes for everyone to forget the man step.
