Saw a commercial the other day with a black color matched one with a silver center bumper like the current Z71 Tahoe... Might be out later, looked pretty damn good.

The gmc all terrain package is pretty slick looking with the color matched grille.

The All terrain is nice. As of right now I think I'm a bigger fan of the GMC front end anyway. But that rado is very sharp... color matching makes all the difference on them. It did on the 07-13's too.

I hear you, the engines have gotten better, as have the exhausts as has the climate control and braking has come along.
But they have gotten huge, heavy and off idle torque is horrible.

I'll keep my GMT-400 fleet, thanks. I will not spend $50,000 on something I am not 100% in love with. Keep the powertrains coming though, engine swaps are worth it.

peace

When you click on the VIN decoder it shows it as a 2014, but who knows

The HD's won't change bodies until next year. Powertrain will stay the same as it was updated in 2011.

Ive got a real bad new or atleast new to me truck bug but nothing by any of the manufacturers have a truck that I love everything about. Im not dropping 40k on something that is going to depreciate fairly quickly unless I love everything about it. If the F150s had thegm 6.2 I'd be driving a ford or if the gmt900 cabs were as big as the fords I'd be happy.

I drove a crew cab 4x4 ltz 5.3. Interior was nice but my 2012 eco boost 4x4 f150 kicks the 5.3s ***. My eco boost has a ton more power and more room inside.
