I'm going to buy a new Truck in a few months and it's either a F150 or the new Silverado. I know I can get a Ecoboost FX4 with not a drop of chrome on it.

Three words Chevy.....Body Colored Grille!
They make a body colored grill package now..... (Chevy)

But with a chrome rear bumper.... LOL. It looks ridiculous.

A body color all-terrain sierra would be nice truck if they continue it for the "new" bodystyle.

That said I DD a '11 fx4 and i love this truck.

I'd rather see something done on that front with the Colorado than the Silverado. Something about a full-size sport truck just doesn't make sense to me. Plus, Ford has already done that. Why not do something a little different, while still offering impressive performance? Give a Colorado a similar suspension as the Raptor and throw the new 5.3 (or, if you're feeling crazy ... the new 6.2) in there and a Raptor wouldn't have a chance. Smaller, nimbler, with a better power to weight ratio. What more could you want in a big boy toy?

Finally people can stop complaining about the global design.

If GM throws a diesel in there better not be any complaining whatsoever.

Unless they kept the global interior. Because that really did suck.

Sounds like a stadium truck.... That would be a blast!

Eh. Anybody's guess right now. Reuss said the midsizers wouldn't share any powertrains with the K2XXs though.

I wish.

If anything it'll probably be the 2.8L Turbodiesel.

Probably end up with car engines. 2.5L LKW and 3.6L LFX are good possibilities.
