It kinda reminds me of a modern version of the post-2003 GMT800 face.

Shout out for them making HIDs standard even on the work truck. Also the 8-speed moved down onto the 5.3, but only on LTZ and High Country, which is weird. Hopefully it goes across the board. CarPlay and Android Auto though!

No thanks. Way too many weird DRL lights

Are they HIDs or just halogen projectors?

Car and Driver says HIDs. Unless they got it wrong.

Uh, I thought the 8-speed was already on the 5.3?

It was only on the 6.2 until now, as far as I know. Unless something changed and I never read about it.

Looked it up, your right. I’m about to become very acquainted with the 6L80 very soon. My new job uses all Chevy’s, except for one Cummins.

1500s I’m assuming? Hopefully you have better experiences than with those old 4L60s.

There’s a black Custom Sport Plus edition at a dealer I drive by every day. It looks amazing. Too bad its $53k.

Those look so good monotone with a touch of chrome here and there. I hope they keep that option package around on the new one.

I like it as well. I wish they’d let you option the 6.2 and 8-speed combo on a “regular” trim line, like the old Vortec Max package.

Definitely. Even the white ones look really good.

That would be properly awesome. I guess they figure that would take away some of the “exclusivity” of upper trim levels or something stupid like that.

Could be. Or perhaps it’s a way of “absorbing” some of the higher costs of the more expensive power-train into the cost of the high trim level. I’ve always assumed that’s why the Cruze diesel is LTZ only.

That makes a lot more sense. Though I have to wonder how much more the 6.2 actually costs to produce over the 5.3 since they’re the same architecture.

Some 1500s, 2500s, and a 3500 Duramax. I’ll probably use them all at some point.

They got it right, then changed everything.

The 6.2 not so much extra, but the 8-speed is almost certainly more expensive.

I love them in all black.

Just sit back and wait for them to drop in price as the new ones come out haha.
