Not a fan of the step bumpers either. Stop making trucks 8' tall and that wouldn't be necessary.
Hey now, that's one feature I do like....makes it easier for we old farts to step up into the box w/o breakin' a hip....

The GMC headlights looks way overstyled but I'll hold final judgement until I see them in person. I'm pretty shocked about a new 4.3 though. I know a lot of people thought that but just seemed like it'd be cheaper to use an existing engine (3.6) which is what Ford and Ram did. Not too worried about the 6 speed vs Ram's 8 as its a decent tranny which the Ram's 6 is actually a 5 with two 2nd gears. Wonder what the power and economy figure will be.
I don't see the "refresh." Every panel except the windshield, roof, and tail lights is noticeably different.![]()
Give the badge thing a rest. I kept one on my tailgateDon't think for a second I would keep some thing like that pinned to my fWONking grille.
Hey, I didn't think you'd leave one on the tailgate either. How was I supposed to know the front of your truck was more sacred than the rear?![]()

800-900: Vastly different style.
900-Whatever this is called: Different but clearly inspired by previous gen.
The fender flares have a little different shape but still look similar. The front end has a little different grille, headlights and bumper but still retain the similar shape. That is why it looks like a refresh. Yes, they are all different but "tweaked" from the 900 styling. When they said it's 100% brand new truck from the groud up, this is NOT what I had in mind.The fender flares have a little different shape but still look similar.

You can be forgiven if you don't recognize, right off, that these are completely redesigned trucks. The changes in appearance are, as GM puts it, "evolutionary." In other words, Silverado and Sierra owners like their trucks and GM designers didn't want to mess that up.
This quote says it perfectly.
