i was hoping it would look more like the tahoe

[checkmate427]

I am very dissappointed.

 

I love SUVs but not this. The grill looks unfinished and just plain.

For some reason I am not even surprised to be let down by the General once again. Hmmm, is that the new Nissan Silverado or Chevrolet Titan. Either way, not good in my opinion. It is my understanding the HD’s may have different sheet metal but it may actually be a difference between GMC vs Chevy but there is a different skin floating around that doesn't look this bad.

[Scyry]

Whelp, fuglier than expected. Way to screw up even more GM. Hopefully the GMC's won't be so hideous.

Like the headlights, hate the bulging fenders and bed, seems like Dodge tailights though.

[Hecktorx]

I hope they offer a colormatched version like the SUVs. That chrome looks terrible. The hood seem looks like crap too.

 

The rest of the truck looks good, just not the Titan frontend.

I agree, The chrome grill is reminiscent of the new Ford Fusion and Explorers. The rest of the body looks like an over sized Colorado. I was really expecting more from a company that's trying to make a rebound.

 

 

The truck also looks like an extended cab, but it has four regular doors. I could be a GM designer: A dabble of dodge doors, a flick of ford grille and a heaping helping of colorado.

The lines don't flow to me. Look at the 88-99 C/K and the 99-02 Silverados, nice lines. The front and rear fenders are fine on their own and the doors/cab are fine on their own; but together they don't work together imo. They still have the dinky training wheels that don't fit the body size. The front bumper looks even lower to the ground. GM seems to be determined to put the ugly XM/Onstar atenna in plain view and off center. Either center the d**n antenna, or spend the 20 cents in wire to move it to the rear of the cab roof. I guess I am just hoping for a less busy, cleaner looking truck. So, IMO, this truck is the ugly bastard child of a current Silverado and Nissan Titan. Just not my cup of tea.

They need to offer a full chrome front bumper,I think that would look better than the half-paint/half-chrome bumper.

 

I think they have the hood "poped" open,Thats why the hood seem looks bad.

(You can really tell if you enlarge the photo)

 

And why,why,why does GM have to have the front-end of the Z71 4x4 trucks sit so d@#m low to the ground

[PaulieK]

I am dumbfounded.................... Talk about "Screwing the Pooch" Did the Silverado go out drunk one night and knock up a Titan and this is the offspring? I am SOOOOOOOO Happy I bought an 05 and NOT an 08! I can only hope they don't screw up the styling on the GMC. If they had put a Tahoe front end on it like they should have that would of been a knockout. Well on an upnote at least it has nicer rims!

[jaslo]

Talk about disappointing, what happened to the fenderwells? Are the gmc trucks going to look any better?

[asilverblazer]

I LIKE IT!

 

If you look close it looks like the lowest part of the front bumper, the black part/chin spoiler, is removable like current trucks, but on the new truck depending on what part is what, it might look OK on or off. On the current trucks it looks goofy with it off. If that center section goes with it, then it too will look weird.

 

If anything it could use taller bed sides. Cause the bed looks dinky compared to the rest of the truck. I don't like the bed in general. The rest is good.

I uploaded the large sized pics to my photobucket account for your viewing pleasure...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't care for the large emblem in the back. Looks too much like the F-150's and the tailights are almost replicas of the Dodge design.

[RaysZ71]

The fenders give it an aggressive look. The bumpers should have been all chrome and not that sectioned painted thing they got. The wheel/tire combo look too small. Head lights may take a little to get used too. I do like the grill and hood.

 

Now the fenders may look ok with a decent wheel/tire size. But a 2wd is going to look ugly with those.

 

Is it possible that the fenders are a Z71 only thing. Other spyshots dont show bulges there.
