It's just another one of those magic trucks that gets the same MPG as I do unloaded as they do towing a 7,000 lb load. LOL

Not loyal to any brand except loyal to never own any GM vehicle. Will never look inside a new one let alone step inside one unless stranded on the side of the road. Glad their new truck ain't so great.

If you get a chance to drive it around you'll have to give us your honest opinion of how it is on the road. I think the front end on the Silverado looks really goofy, just sort of slapped together without much flow...not a big fan

I have yet to see a Chevy or GMC in person. Their 6.2 v8 interests me though. Some pretty good numbers that they are claiming. Of course I'd wait until there is a tuner to shut off the MDS. My '04 Z71 5.3 treated me good. Very sluggish but very reliable. I think GM has a better 4x4 system than Ford. I've never been fond of these vacuum hubs. If GM's touch screen nav will work without any glitches, that will be something over Ford and Ram in itself.

I am far from brand loyal and this 2013 F150 is my first Ford ever so far no issues. I've got no personal experience with GM trucks but I've vowed over 15 years ago not to ever buy anything associated with the GM tag.

Every vehicle was a complete POS and made me switch to Toyota for the last 14 years and have sheepishly come back to try a domestic. If I won a GM in lottery the first thing I would do is sell it ASAP before it breaks down or depreciates even further, man nothing but bad memories for me and that company.

Anyone considering one good luck I don't give a dam how comfortable the seats are or whatever, good riddance.

Definitely will do. So far it seems solid, doors sound much more like a European cars "thud". I also like how it has about 5 USB ports, and the bed steps are nice although idk how much I would use them realistically. Guy that drove it back from the dealer and over the weekend said it felt sluggish and didnt wake up till about 4000rpm.

Oh.... and the passenger side window wont go up already... relay is clicking but motor isnt doing anything. Doh.

Damn, that looks like the front end off off Clark Griswald's station wagon.
