Replying to: thereisnospoon (Dec 31, 2005 8:42 pm) My fords (all 6) are junk, but how can you resist buying a ford for 1,000 bucks and it last for a year! Two f350's I bought brand new. No power, had to treat like a baby. Lots of expensive repairs in engine and tranny. My chevys (all 8) are gems. I bought recently (well 10 years ago, three 3/4 ton diesals. Besides some basic repair work, my daily driver and the truck I use to "do anything, pull anything" has 400,000 plus miles on it. My wife drives a 2000 k1500. It's our "traveling truck" and it has over 200,000 miles on it. I think we have put maybe $200 in it. Farming with a ford is not a smart idea. Come to Iowa and see how many fords you see in use on farms...ha...not many!!! |

| This is not a "brand wars" discussion. Let's stick to talking about the upcoming Silverado & Sierra, please. | |

I thought this whole thing was on what options people want or dont want on new trucks??? I have had Fords and Chevys and a truck is a truck. some good, some bad. Some of the things I would like to see in the new trcks are: MAKE IT HERE!!!!!! no more Canadian or Mexican chevys! Navigation Systems: why is it Honda offers it, and the general is too cheap. I would gladly pay for it, but its not even an option! More outlets, even a 110v would be nice. Wifes vibe has one. Get rid of the little nubbed center console, cant write on it (or make an insert to stick in it). Sunroof should go iinto the body like an avalanche instead of up and out. whoever chose to use a different sunroof than what was already being used in avalanche should have an ASSH  T sign tagged to him. I like Nissan's idea of the cargo holes in the side of teh bed like ford used to do. I'll think of more, but that ought to give the engineers enough to chew on.

They, GM, better come up with something that's "elevating" or they are in deep trouble. Toyota is coming out with its new 07' Tundra, which is going to be bigger and more powerful. There's major competition out there now and one must be "on their game" if they want to survive.

Go to www.gminsidenews.com/forums/ and dial up the trucks section. There are some pics of the new 07' (?) trucks driving in the snow.

Seems like every other day GM's bond rating goes lower. I don't know what GM is waiting for regarding releasing the '07 Silverado. Maybe they are worried about being eclipsed by the Tundra, or are trying to work in some Ridgeline type innovation, but come on already. It will also be interesting to see how GM prices it. Hint to GM: enough with the pricing programs, release a well equipped 4x4 dub cab that gets decent mpg for, say $27-28k, and make some sales...!

Looks like GM is playing it safe again....i'm disapointed. The show truck they previed at the NY auto show back a few years ago was awesome....what happened to the new aggressive from end??? Yup its gone.....gonna look like the new tahoe...its ok....just way to safe... kind of bland...they always go the safe route.Too bad... They need to get aggressive with the exterior styling....ain't gonna happen i guess. No surprise there! don |
