Whey doesn't Silverado get fender trims?

Because GM always made GMC's truck line a bit more ''luxurious'' in a sense, the inside is always a bit better, hence why Denali looks way better than High Country year after year.

Have you seen the new Sierra's? I mean I guess it's great that GM let some special needs kids design a truck, but didn't think they'd be stupid enough to put it on the market.

Silverado = Crew Truck. Sierra = Boss's truck. Gotta get something for that $1,500 price jump. Like real Aluminum interior trim vs painted plastic, liners, flares, and better looks. GMC always launches a feature before Chevy, like the cargo lights in the box rails, multipro tailgate, adaptive cruise, two tone interiors etc. 

True on those points but better looks?  Hmm... not so sure about that.  Sierra has always been a nice classy truck.  I've owned many new Sierra's and Silverado's since 1985 and always had GM trucks. Some years the Sierra looked better and some years the Silverado looked better.  I just came out of a '16 Sierra but GM dropped the ball on the '19 Sierra with those hideous sim card looking fender wells.  The fender well trim does it no justice and just enhances the ugliness.  I hear so many people saying that and even GMC salesman saying what a terrible job designers did on those fenders and is why many didn't buy the Sierra.  I don't know what designers were thinking but it is what it is.  It would be a really nice looking truck if the wells were either rectangular or round.  The way they are now is horrible... I suspect those fenders will change.   The "boss" can drive his Sierra and I'll stick with my "crew" RST for '19.

I much rather a truck without the well trim. I think the Silverado fender wells look so much better than the Sierra. I just can't get used to Sierra's fugly "sim card" fender wells. Hidious... I've heard so many people say how ugly the Sierra fender wells are.  WTH were they thinking??? 

 I agree.  I was interested in the Denali when I saw the front.  Once I walked around to the side of it that was all I needed to see.  Picking up my High Country tomorrow.

Fender trims cause rust long term. Well, up north in the winter climates anyways.

To each his own. I find the 19 Silverado repulsive in comparison to the 19 Sierra on looks alone. That front fender line for starters, and the lights... you serious GM? The last time a Silverado looked better that a GMC to me was the Cat-Eye Duramax era. 2005-2007.5 were the only years a Silverado looked better, and that was only Duramax equipped trucks. Again, speaking subjectively, you can call me a blind jackass if you want to.

I like all the GMT-800 Silverados better than the Sierras, not just the Duramaxes. Agree that was the last time the Silverado looked better.

Looks like the 2020 Silverado hd models are getting fender moldings.
