Nice looking truck to me. I didn’t hear the specifics on the new gas engine but it’s about time GM updated the 6.0.

I always try and wait until I see one in person before making judgement, but I'm not sure how this one is going to look better up close.

Did they fix the DEF tank or is it still hanging off to one side like an errant testicle?

I am waiting for the explanation of why all of a sudden 30k+ towing is a good thing!

The 10 speed is no doubt a good thing and will raise the bar for Ford and RAM. IMHO a 8 speed would be more than enough!!! Actually more than happy with my 6 speed AISIN.

Says the guy that tows about 30k around?
Me no comprende...

I am actually waiting to hear the explanation as well. The excuse was the vast majority of buyers don't utilize that much capacity in a 3500 series pickup. Cant wait to see what has changed.

GM needs to step up their game if they're going to maintain the number 2 position.

Ford used to offer basic replaceable headlights in its base trim that appealed to fleet usage but reduced visibility and did not look as nice. Luckily they had a option package that upgraded the lights on the base trim rather than having to to a more expensive trim level. I optioned my XL with things that came standard on the XLT but was still at a better price than buying options I did not want.

^ That probably has more truth to it than one might suspect!
Good marketing strategy!

Well th high country looks better for sure! Funny they know that, and they know that people will purchase that high end version more because of the smoother look.....well regardless I don’t plan to purchase one anytime soon.

Agree. Seems like they want to intentionally ugly up the low end trucks so that people opt for the higher end versions where they make the most $$.

I can live without a lot of the high end (useless to me) features but also wont drive a fugly truck.

Someone photoshopped this grille on a Camaro. It doesn't look so bad on it.

Stamping their name in the front and rear is almost as tacky as the Super Duty
