The first one was ok, the rest

Agree!

Never held ANY appeal to me. I don't need some "macho" looking truck. I much prefer the smoother lines of the Silverado.

No argument from me...Chevy trucks are the standard in my books. These are some proper looking pickups:

That does look good, but damn they are sooo uncomfortable. I ended up lifting the front of the seats an inch or two, which of course had the effect of putting the seat back in too much of a lean angle. Still better than feeling like you're going to fall into the footwell all the time. Loved it (super clean low miler, sounded great, looked good) - but hated it - it was just too small for a family of 4 (got shi# in trade...and the stupid things are worth more now than in 2008 when I traded it in! FFS...).

I'm partial to 67-68 shorty C10's. Maybe someday...if only I had an enabler...

Yp, the value of a clean GMT400 is climbing. Hard to find in good shape now.

Never found them uncomfortable, but seats are usually subjective anyway. I did a quick check of the market around here last night and yeah, prices are kinda silly on a GMT400. It'll run you 6-10K for a solid 4x4. Save a couple grand if you go 2WD, and even beaten to death work trucks are going for $3-4K.

My grandfather had a 95 Z71, black with red cloth interior. Great truck, he eventually gave it to my cousin, who promptly wrecked it

Damn, that would still be a nice truck today

There are really none of these left out east....rusted out long ago.

By far my favorite pickup truck and with the front buckets, comfortable as anything I have ever sat in.

This is my favorite

It was pretty groundbreaking back in the day. The V10 was a nice touch.

Drove one with the V10, compared with the monster diesels of today, it felt like a small V8, but back in the day, WOW, that thing rocked out.

You need to sit behind the wheel of a new Silverado. The hood is HUGE. Forward visibility is quite poor IMO.

I do not think it is different than Ram or Ford

Never even been in a RAM but I can tell you the Ford is better (than the GM). I forgot about the hood thing...now I remember when I test drove one for fun, it was considerably more noticeable than my truck.

Like current gen RAM (got one..). Its kinda retro and not over complicated.

1st gen was cool, 2nd gen kinda wonky looking.

Not liking those headlights in this new one.

BWII · « **Reply #35 on:** January 15, 2018, 08:22:26 am »

Wow...now FCA has just blown the '19 GM/Chevy twins right out of the water! This, is a looker!

Even the "tough" model looks good! Sorry Chevy fans...

I'd have either of those in my driveway about 10 times out of 10 if we were talking having to look at a truck everyday.

EV-Light · « **Reply #36 on:** January 15, 2018, 08:35:23 am »

I gotta say...I didn’t like when I saw the prototype but these trucks look great!

Have you seen the interior?!

If FCA keeps the price as competitive as it is with the current Ram I suspect it will win market share.

Great looking truck! Inside & out! Hopefully they can sell a lot of them!! I'd love a truck like this, but in reality I just don't have enough use for it in my daily grind.

No way that will happen, it would have to increase it's sales by over 50% . Truck owners are a loyal bunch. RAM may over take the GM twins in Canada, that's about it.
