2019 Silverado 2500 HD Tribute Edition - Thumbs Up Or Down To Flag Wrap?

[Bigal426]

GM put a lot of time into all of these Special editions. Its a shame they didn't want to put any time into building a Regular Cab 2500HD and 3500HD. Did someone just wake up one morning and say, "hey, we are not going to build the Regular Cab 2500HD this year"? I have heard from some that these trucks are not in demand? Sorry, you are wrong there. If that was true, they would not be building the Regular Cab 2500HD in 2020? Some say tooling id too expensive? How can say that, when the cab is already produced for 1500 series. The rear suspension and axle are already produced for the Crew Cab. Most components are already produced for it. GM tries to promote different trim levels, but still let down us that need the Regular Cab 2500HD and 3500HD Trucks to work.

I think you will find there are very few matching parts between the 1500 cab and the 2500 cab. The frame does not exist as well.  Not sure, but do HD trucks go for collision testing? 

Sometimes it just costs too much for a one year model that just does not sell.  GM is being operated more responsibly these days.
