GM News: Spying: Chevrolet Sliverado/GMC Sierra

[William Maley]

The current Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra are getting shown up by Ford’s F-Series and Ram truck lineup with their improved interiors, ride, and powertrains. But GM is busy at work on the next generation pickup to steal back some of the spotlight.

This week, Inside Line got some spy shots of the new Sliverado/Sierra undergoing some testing. The biggest difference between the current trucks and the one featured in the pictures is a new greenhouse. Also, the truck looks to sporting more cues from the current GM HD trucks with it’s larger front end and less rounded shape.

Also, the new trucks are expected to be 500 lbs less than the current Siverado/Sierra.

That's the first thing I thought... Ram MegaCab long-ass rear door.

Other then the green house there is little here to go on. I suspect as flat as the camo is it is hiding a much more sculpted body. Judging the styling on the Colorado and Trailblazer I expect this truck to has a much more shaped hood and side. This is has become a trade mark of the Ed Wellborn design at Chevy.
