New 2024 Chevy HD and Increased Dmax Power

All the new pickups are ugly as dog **** folks. And lets be honest, their isn't a tinkers difference between em on performance or reliability anymore.

TomAAto, Tomahhto... who cares...

The entire interior needs to be redone from the ground up!

The interior is an all new design and from the looks it looks pretty good. The one thing I would hope they did, but I doubt it was to increase the depth of their window sill because that's where I like to rest my arm/elbow. The last model year GM had a good window sill was 1987.

Have owned quite a few GM trucks since 94 and never had an issue resting my arm/elbow on a windowsill. Are you 4'-6" tall? Perhaps sit on a pillow? Are you planning on ditching Ford for GM?

I'm 6'4" which is why I sometimes prefer a taller arm rest.

LOL that '94 didn't have enough window sill room to support your arm unless it's thin like a pencil! :W

And yes when I purchase my next truck I'll take a look at GM like I have always done.

LOL......you said depth....I thought you mean height, not width... W T F.

I meant a sill with more depth not taller.

It does look like a revised dash. However the dash doesn't constitute the entire interior. I'd like to see more comfortable seats, a better layout. repositioning the center consiole. THe GM /Chevy interior needs to be more spacuious and more comfortable. it does not compare to the others in terms of comfort and space.
Don't get me w4rong I like the truck. I had the chance to buy the other guys and still went back to Chevy, nevertheless I still believe the competition has a better interior.

Here's TFL on the new Chevy at the Texas State fair. Looks like an all new dash to me.

Well, as Marty has stated many times on this forum, it's actually -100lbs tow rating.

The truck didn't come equipped from the factory to tow, so it wasn't rated by the factory to tow. That's how they did it in those days.

I almost think my Dad's 1989, Chevy 2500, 8600GVWR, Vortec 350, 4-speed manual, 4.10 axle ratio, was also NOT rated for towing, because it didn't come equipped with any towing equipment. He built his own hitch and that thing towed like a freight train by 1989 standards.

It was never a statement of the truck's capability. It was a denial of liability by the manufacturer. "If you want to tow, you're on your own."

Ok, so confirming the relevance of this to "New 2024 Chevy HD and Increased Dmax Power" may also be less than zero? Regardless, this new "feature" is very much a detriment and yet another big brother type nanny.

I have to agree it's a bit boring. My RAM is going on 8 years old and has a much nicer interior.
