The entire truck sits lower, not just the back end. So now just factor in the price of a good 3" lift when buying this truck.
Did anyone actually see the curb weight on this new one yet? How much was really cut?
I'm also not completely sold on the EB yet either. I've only got about 2k on mine so far but it doesnt seem to have much power at all until about 3500 4000 rpm. Almost reminds me of the little honda prelude with the Vtec in it.

I believe they have reduced the curb weight by at least 700#. I don't know if the ride height is a Photoshop or if it actually sits that low. I would be all over the EB 3.5 or even the 5.0 with 700# less to pull around.
The weigh savings would help equalize the added weigh from the 35" tires and 2-3" lift that would give this the stance from that ATLAS that we are all so fond of. I could see myself driving one of these in 2016 or something like that

mmmmm, it's going to have to grow on me. The interior is pretty sweet. I also like the added parking abilities....it's ummm....not an Atlas.
Looks more like a current model with atlas components bolted on.

I just looked closely at that link: do I see REAL ***** for heat, air??? I'm liking it. But, man, that front end is Chevy looking! Better than Chevy, but does have a resemblance.

Tell your friends with the new GMs to take their truck in as soon as they can to get the new recall done on them. Don't want anyone catching on fire even if they are GM owners.

I know I saw that, I wanted to email him but I figured he is already pissed so why throw more fuel on. Boy, seems nobody can built a reliable truck these days..Sitting at a light idling and watch your truck catch on fire...Real sad..
