the interior of that truck is light years ahead of any previous GM truck.. OMG it is just beautiful..

that was one of the things I hated about my Avalanche, the interior was so bland, and so dull and so yuck

Can you say SS silverado?!?!? It would be a rocket with a bed tied to it but knowing GM it will never happen. The sad part is they have all the parts there to make it happen yet they won't....

Love the GMC Wheels!

Now, a Vette LT1/8-speed AutoMagic, CTS-V IRS, 3/4-Ton Brakes...wrapped in a 2WD Short Box Regular Cab that sits about 4" lower...might make some of us forget about Trans Ams...

6.2 is 411 hp and 434 tq

that is incorrect sir the King Rancher cannot be had with the 6.2 and besides those numbers are still lower than what is in the article.

and who wants an ecochoke I like to know I can accelerate when I want too.

What part of the HP equation did you not see the F150 with its premium engine only puts down 360/380. The Microsoft Technology they are using is dated and has not been updated. The only thing The King Rancher has going for it is marketing

That's not the premium engine. that's one of the lower engines.

Sync may have been around for a little but your a fool if you think its never been updated. I can tell you this the Sync is way ahead of the hands free in my 12 Camaro.

If you think all the F150 has going for it is marketing that must be some amazing marketing, seeing as the F150 is the Number one selling vehicle in the US and the number one selling truck in what, almost 30 years?

Fact is GM can throw all the HP at the trucks they want and they wont outsell the F150. The F150 just has to good of a rep. Even when GM was putting the 6.0 in some trucks the F150 only had a underpowered 5.4. (Not a fan at all of the 5.4) the F150 still blew GMs truck away.

I don't think the 6.2L Ecotec3 V8 (L86) is flex fuel capable.

Just going by this model order sheet, of course it states that the 4.3L V6 and 5.3L V8 are

GM split it's truck line into two offerings and Ford offers one. So the fact remains is it the number one selling truck? I think this debate has been had before so I do not wish to rehash it here but I can tell you the answer is not as clear as fords marketing makes it appear. GM should make the claim as it should.
