GM ain't stupid. They will sell them.

They might sell some, but will they sell for a PROFIT, or will they eventually be heavily discounted to get them off the lot? The question has never been ability to sell... the issue for GM the last 10 years or so has been an ability to sell and make a PROFIT. They weren't able to do that, hence the bailout and subsequent bankruptcy.

$45K starting price for a 2wd is way too rich for me. I understand people want all the fancy stuff, but I just can't figure out why. I don't need all those gizmos and gadgets... I'm too busy driving to play around with all those toys. As far as my kids are concerned, I don't let them watch tv in the car... they also are very limited to watching tv at home. When I was a kid and we went on vacation, we had a book and a Walkman. My kids will have the modern equivalent of the same.

Power steering, power windows, cruise control, traction control and a backup camera are my necessities. I'm not opposed to a nice stereo with Bluetooth streaming. My phone has a MUCH better GPS than you can get in a vehicle... with free upgrades nonstop from Google Earth. All the rest of that technology is wasted on me... I ain't paying for it. I can't stand leather, its always cold in the winter and hot in the summer. I prefer cloth seats.

I'd rather spend $20K less on the truck and spend that money driving around this beautiful country. To each their own though.

Same here. I bought the lowest trim level F250 4X4 they make with the options I wanted. IBC, cloth split bench seating and the electric power package. Drove it off the lot for 31K. Can't understand putting carpet in a truck.
