live post Live Drive: 2015 Silverado and Sierra HD

[Zane]

Is it confirmed that the frame suspension/etc is the same as the GMT900 HD's?

Yes. All carryover

[Chris]

I would have met you for dinner but Josh didnt want to take the bet that I could make it there

[KMGZ400]

Yes. All carryover

That is very impressive that a platform that was released in 2011 still the same if not better then the other big 2 HD trucks... 4 plus year old platform that was designed probably a year or 2 before it was released.

$64,000 !!!! OUCH!

[RyanbabZ71]

Cool stuff! Any blue granite trucks?

[99silveradoz71]

That blue HD is sliiick

[STINSAN3]

I really do like the looks of the HDs better than the 1500s.
I'm liking the Chevys more than the GMC's.
Any more info?

Agreed! It's calling my name!

I will have a complete write up on my first drive of the HD's in a few days. There's a lot to tell. These trucks are great and I think I can answer some of the common questions that have been floating around.

 

For example: Why didn't the 6.2L get used instead of the "old" 6.0L? Because the 6.2L is aluminum and the 6.0L is iron. As great as 6.2L is for a 1500, it would not cut the required durability for a 2500/3500 application.

 

More on the way...

You didn't happen to question the lack of the 8 inch MyLink on regular cab trucks...did you? Looking forward to your full write up.

Did you ever do the write-up or did I just miss it?

Wondering the same thing???

[KMGZ400]

Well the frame and motor is all carryover from the 14's and from the 15' 2500 interiors I have seen, they are the same as the k2 1500's

[STINSAN3]

Just took part in the head to head with Ford and Dodge. I'll detail more later but the Chevy is far more composed. Even with only 10k lbs the Ford was scary. Dodge was almost as bad.

When you gonna do the full write-up, Zane?

[20Silverado11]

Very interested in the writeup here as well!
