Why is it that you can't get a new 2015 Colorado or Canyon with a CD player on ANY trim level, but you can get one on any 2015 Silverado or Sierra model, regardless of trim level, though you have to buy a $200 stereo package?

Companies are slowly phasing them out. I don't think the Chrysler 200 offers one either.
Though another WTF, you can get a sunroof in the Silverado/Sierra, but not the Canyon/Colorado.

That's true as well, though maybe that will be added to the options list when the turbodiesel comes out?

CD players are going relatively obsolete now. Everything is on removable storage (flash drives, memory cards, phones/MP3 players, built in car storage space, bluetooth), which holds a lot more, and will hold up much better than a CD does over time. Honestly, even if you look at aftermarket head units, a lot more of them are sans-CD as well. I think it'll be a few more years until they die out altogether. Stuff like that in cars tend to hang on just a little bit longer than they do otherwise. The last year you could get a factory cassette deck in a car was in 2010, and that was in a Lexus SC 430. In 2010, how long had it been since CDs had pretty much replaced cassettes overall? 10 years? You could get CD players in cars since the 1980s, and they've lasted this long. I'd say the last car with factory CD will probably be in the early 2020s.

I hate that in order to get the nicer interior and nav system on a Silverado it has to be a extended or crew cab, cant get them in a std cab.

I think Ford still offered 8-tracks until early in the 1984 model year. By then, it was already getting difficult to even find cartridges in stores

What nicer interior do you mean? Also, you can get a Nav system in a reg cab.

leather mainly, and no you cannot get the bigger screen with nav in the regular cab, ive tried both the configurator and going to talk to a buddy who works at a chevy dealer. even thought you can get a LT std cab, they do not offer as much goodies as a ext cab or crew cab

LT Z71 has the top unit. Leather? not what I would want in a truck, but whatever floats your boat.

I use a truck more as a car than a truck, I was looking at replacing my 98 Camaro. I wanted a fully loaded 2wd regular cab, short box and I could not get the nice interior in it period. they might have changed that in 15 as I was looking at 14 models
edit: I just went to the 15 configurator, you can now get the better stereo and larger screen, but even the Z71 still has cloth, the only reason I don't want cloth is I currently have it in my 98 Camaro, and my pickup before it had it and im tired of cloth.

Fair enough. I use my truck that way. I like your style though, RWD reg cab, a real truck.

The leather in the 2011 3500 is nice. Granted its a Crew Cab LTZ. Because towing in a comfortable truck is a plus!

that's the only way to have a truck, because the first thing I would do to one of these new Silverado's is lower the darn thing, you could drop it 4 inches in the back and just start to actually get the tire in the wheel well.
