Consumer Report's Truck of the Year - GM Silverado

Posts : 1491 Join date : 2013-02-28 Location : About Mid AZ

Most of the new GM pickup reviews have been luke-warm. It's a solid middle of the road performer that seems to fall short in a few key areas and many are disappointed in the few changes given the time GM took to develop and release it. But none of that stopped Consumer Report's from putting it on top.

mine has a 5'7" and you can get a 6'4"

it wasn't even close in my book, Ram is way nicer and has more options

Yes but if you have a Chevy or GMC truck you don't need a tow truck company on speed dial Razz

GMs come with either a 5' 9" or 6' 6" bed on the crew cabs and a 6' 6" on the double cab. The regular cab has a 6' 6" or 8' bed.

no kidding, I didn't know that, so they must talking about the 2" difference.

I have to wonder just what demographic is being catered to.

Ahh, I got it.

But then again, it's contradictory.

Ram might be better for daily driving, calling Dodge's truck a nicer place to spend your time.

Question

I'm so confused.

A lot of men would brag about an extra 2 inches. Cool

Friend up in Wisconsin is on the fence about a new chevy or Dodge 1/2 ton. He is leaning towards a dodge and one item he doesn't like about the GM twins is the 40% domestic content and then assembled in Mexico part.

GM half tons are produced at either Salio Mexico or Fort Wayne Indiana. The HD's like years past will come from Flint Michigan.

The 1/2 ton crew cabs are only produced in Salio last I heard.
Flint might have capacity in the future but has not been changed over yet.
