Disappointing article- GM updates!

https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/05/silverado-hd-sierra-hd-powertrain-updates-incoming/

Not sure why they would publish this and not have any updates,or did I miss something here.
I'm very interested in a 6.6 gas 10 speed if it ever happens.

    Pretty vague news. More than likely Ford will be updating their engines in the upcoming years as will Ram. Now if I was a GM guy and if they had said the 2022 GM HD will get an all new 500 hp, 1100 lbft Duramax I might get excited.


    I would get excited if GM produced a good looking truck for once since the '87 model year.


    I actually think GM has produced some pretty nice looking trucks since then, but tastes do vary. But I can't for the life of me figure out how anyone thinks the current Chevy 2500/3500 is anything but obscenely ugly & the GMs are only a little better.

  • Not sure why, but for the last few months GMauthority links have been appearing in news feeds a lot. The articles are almost uniformly disappointing & lacking in info that the headline promises. I just don't go there anymore.

    So?
    This forum/website is also click bait to sell RVs, memberships, and worthless insurance / roadside assistance.
  • Amazingly like the ongoing Ford 7.3 twin turbo 'report' attributed to 'Ford Authority' website, posted elsewhere on this forum. "Sources familiar" and "subscribe now" were tipoffs to me.
