Since the tahoe and avalanche have the same 4-spd,can we expect the new trucks to be the same.That would be the biggest mistake gm has ever made.everyone is going to 5 and 6 spd.

Replying to: saddaddy (May 08, 2006 11:58 am) well... prior to the Avalanche debuting in 2002 the trucks have always historically had the same front end --- from the Tahoe to Suburban to the truck. The Avalanche if I remember correctly was a design excercise to see how well it sold and it did well depsite its Aztek looking body panels. When Chevy re-did the front the ends on the 03-current trucks, they left the Tahoe and Suburban alone.   So I would not be surprised to see all 4 trucks have the same front end. I don't recall the 07 Avalanche being offered with body hardware (which is good considering how awful I thought it looked), and even the GMC's Denali versions are lacking the body molding that the previous generation had. It might have something to do with cost-cutting, but it could be more in the way of streamlining GM's look.

Replying to: the_big_al (Jun 27, 2008 3:16 pm) I don't think the Silverado will have the same front end if for no other reason then they are waiting to unveil the truck in September. Why would they unveil a vehicle that looks exactly the same as the Avalanche (and Tahoe/Suburban) 6-8 months later. Doesn't make a whole lotta sense marketing wise. Granted it could be very similar though. I'm not ruling that out. Just my opinion. Replies to this message: the_big_al (Jun 27, 2008 3:16 pm)

Replying to: metalphoenix79 (May 24, 2006 11:08 am) true - but here is another thought to chew on... Also historically GM has favored releasing the truck versions before the SUV versions. They did it in 88 when they redesigned the C/K pickups, but the Suburban/C/K Blazer didn't debut until 1990('91?). In 1999 they released the current generation Silverado, but it was model year 2000 until we got the Suburban/Tahoe. And they all had the same front ends.   This time around due to the popularity of the SUV GM has reversed and released the Tahoe first, then the Suburban and now the Avalanche has just been released. The truck is the last, but at least it is still within the same model year. So in following GM's general tradition I would not be surprised to see the same front end on the Chevy versions of the truck. It would be nice if they differentiated it a little bit, but I am not holding my breath.   I do however expect to see some changes to the Sierra front end to differentiate it from the Yukon. I think that is where GM will focus the differences. GMC is supposed to be the upscale and more luxurious truck line and so to have cosmetic changes would make more sense? In my opinion, I wouldn't want a truck that has the Yukon front end anyway. I will go for the Chevy any day of the week. I like the Yukon front end - it has the Euro flair, but for a truck??? That would make it look like a Deville with a truck bed on it.
#117 of 707 On sale day for 1500 by sorter May 25, 2006 (6:00 pm)
Why so much delay for the pickup? This will go head to head with the new Tundra in terms of launch date.
#118 of 707 has anyone seen the new spy movie on the sierra by arkitect Jun 03, 2006 (12:06 pm)
The sierra in the movie is a denali, atleast it has the denali grille. I just wanted to say this incase anyone didn't see it. Replies to this message: the_big_al (Jun 27, 2008 3:16 pm)

Replying to: arkitect (Jun 03, 2006 12:06 pm) I also found it interesting tht GM is using different interiors from it's truck line and SUV line. I was expecting the interior currently in the 07 tahoes and yukons... I was actually looking forward to it. Hopefully even though it's different it will still have a quality look and feel to it. Although I will say that I do not hate the interior of the current trucks, it is a little out-dated. I am not fond of the Ford interior or the the Toyota interiors. Dodge is okay, but as far as ergonomically, GM has always been my favorite.
#120 of 707 My thoughts on what the Silverado will look like by bojesphob Jun 05, 2006 (9:30 am)
I was playing around with Photoshop, and was able to come up with the way I think the new Silverado will look. Sorry about the hack job, but I think if they look anywhere close to this, I will trade in my 05!! Anyhow, I used the Avalanche picture from the Chevy website to make these.......
#121 of 707 thoughts on what the Silverado will look like by bojesphob by metalphoenix79 Jun 07, 2006 (8:30 am)
I think it could look like that but I would guess a bigger grille and a change in the lights. That's my guess from what I think I've seen from the pictures with cameo on them. I still stick with my previous post that it would be a bad idea to unveil a Silverado that looks exactly the same as the Avalanche (and Tahoe/Suburban) 6-8 months later. Doesn't make a whole lotta sense marketing wise. Replies to this message: the_big_al (Jun 27, 2008 3:16 pm)
