I'm really curious to see how they're going to upgrade Sync and the electronics. Interior features are becoming about as important as exterior features.

I would say order a 19. You would have probably at least a year and half with this gen if not two years.
Or if you're wanting to ride out this gen for few years. Maybe waiting till 2020 isn't a bad idea.
I just read today that Chevy just dropped the 6.2L at 420hp into the more models of the 1500, starting at $43,000.
Ford may offer something for 2020 to combat it.
Then do you want year one of the new one? It's not so much the mechanical in the first year now. It's those subtle changes that come in the end of year two, definitely year three.
So that's three years right there, you might not be missing out on anything.
I also feel the shifter being a dial and I like my console shifter. That's just me though, since I've had a console shifter since 2005 and when that's gone. It's going to be a big change for me.
Idk, it makes my head spin thinking about all of it.

I believe that GM's move was actually in response to Ford making the 3.5 EcoBoost available in base models. You can now get 3.5 Eco in an XL. The 3.5 Eco outperforms the GM 6.2L trucks.

The 6.2 is still not available in the low trim Silverado. There is a lot of misinformation going around.

I agree with you to buy a 19 but I'm not sure what Ford needs to combat. The Silverados bread and butter is the LT trim. The LT trim sales more than any other trim. The LT only comes with the 5.3 while the direct competition from Ford "XLT" offers the 2 7, 3.5, and 5.0. I think the celebration over the 6.2 is premature considering the 6.2 is not available in the true lower trims, the Work truck, Custom, and LT.

That is Chevy playing catchup. You could already get the 3.5 EB or the 5.0L or the 2.7 EB in the lower trim levels, it was just stupid chevy forcing you to buy a premium trim level to get the big engine. Since Ford already offers the big boy 3.5 all the way down to XL...yeah it's just Chevy trying to play catch up finally
I'm sure there had to be some power hungry guys thinking about jumping ship when they put the same old 5.3 in the new body. Now, maybe they'll stay put and it wouldn't surprise me if some Ford guys swapped sides.
Being a diehard V8 guy and the body of my truck was off the frame right now.. 420hp under fifty grand, might be just what the Dr ordered.
As far as I'm concerned.. I agree. I think the others are always playing catch up.
