tbone Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Well, since a GMC thread was started, I’ll comment on here about the speaker setup in the multifunction tailgate. It’s a nice feature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Looks potentially handsome. I like this angle, but who knows what other angles look like. I've always vastly preferred GMC/Sierra design to the Silverado. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Doesn’t look bad. I guess they’re leaving Silverado to cover the lower end of the market? Will be very interesting to see how Silvererra and Rivian compete with Lightning and how that affects ICE sales. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinaw Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Not bad, from what I can see. No matter what your thoughts are on EV's, the next few years will be very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The renderings I've seen of the Silverado look more unibody crossover look than actual truck. We'll see if that's what it turns out to be.

CKNSLS Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Even though the 2.7 has good numbers-the "faithful" have a hard time getting past the "4 cylinder thing". Then you have the "You Tubers" bashing it as well because.....it's a 4 cylinder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The V8 gasoline and 6-cylinder diesel engines do show the cylinder count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don’t understand why they chose to go the Avalanche route instead of a traditional bed. I’m not a huge fan of that arrangement. I like the power numbers though, that’s pretty great. I’m guessing this thing weighs a lot to get that range. Overall, nice design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisgb Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 No empty weight listed for the GMC, but its Hummer sibling is 9,640 lb, and its payload is a Herculean1,300 lb; only 200 lb less than a Maverick. It seems we're at the same stage in electrification we were with VCRs 50 years ago, when they offered sub-480 pixel resolution, manual rewind, were the size of a carry on suitcase, and cost $1,000-$1,400, or $7,200-$10,000 in today's dollars. We're getting there, but progress takes time. And front money. Working the numbers backwards, the GMC Sierra Denali EV would've set you back ~$15,200 in '72, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-dubz Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 The slant of the back of the cab ruins the whole design for me. The same goes for the hummer and Silverado ev. I assume it has something to do with adding some extra support, but I still don’t like how it looks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if there is a technical reason or just design bu it’s a holdover from the Avalanche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 My guess is that it has something to do with the airflow when the mid gate is open. It's likely there to keep turbulence down and keep the wind from blowing debris back into the vehicle. In a normal truck, just having the back glass open will mean any small debris in the back of the truck will end up inside the cab. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I think it looks better than the Avalanche….er Silverado, but I’ve long preferred GMC styling to Chevy styling. The interior does look quite nice. I haven’t had a chance to get over to GMI yet, but I wonder what their reaction to the Mach E/Lightning style tablet setup is. I’m sure it’s the best thing since sliced bread, while it was horrible on the Fords lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the separate cab and box actually still needed on half ton pickups? Or is it just tradition/looks? Obviously, it was needed back in the day, but the frames are much stronger and stiffer now. It wouldn't surprise me if the new truck destined for BOC did the same. Maybe they will do both: a more traditional F150 Lightning made in Dearborn, and a "unibody" F100 Lightning for BOC.
