Default What do you think of the Silverado HD?

Let's just say the reaction to the new Silverado HD has been mixed... What do you think about the face of this new rig? Love it? Hate it? More pics and info here.

it's fair. Nothing exceptional. Mediocre styling with their most important product will quickly pave the way to back bankruptcy.

It's a front-end that will sell a lot of RAM trucks and more Sierra GMC trucks and fewer Silverado trucks. So it's really a fail. It's this sort of half effort that keeps Nissan and Toyota thinking they can win over the domestic truck market.

GM needs to get some folks in Design that understand style. With the restyled Sierra, C7 vette and the early 6th Gen Camaro it looked like there was hope for GM for the long term. Now GM is slipping backwards with half-assed design work on the styling.

The 2019 SS Camaro front end is a travesty and badly needs revision. Someone high up in management or even the entire team needs to be fired for that abomination of a front end.

There are some funny comments in this thread, but this is the one that points out why this is so scary for GM...

The 2019 1/2 ton styling (especially the front fender and mirror placement) is polarizing enough, the new HD is hideous, and barely improved by the High Country.

Your comment is spot on. GM needs to fire their design team and ensure anyone who was involved with or approved the 2019 Camaro or Silverado has NO say in the C8 Corvette. Utter fail GM...
