I actually like it a lot. I have a 2017 and wish I was in the position to get a new one. Yes it has some F150 ques.....

The front end reminds me of my old 2001 stepside. It's a little better than my 2009 but they are still too boxy which kills gas mileage. I generally don't like the newer trucks either, but then they start to grow on me. I do like the Colorado/Canyon but wished they made a regular cab version. I don't need a crew cab/extended cab and nobody makes a small pickup with a regular cab anymore.

I am the same way. I wasn't a fan of the 2015 Colorado when they came out, but now I really like my 2016 Z71.

I saw the '81 model and didn't like it so I hurried and got an '80.

I saw the '88 GMT400's and didn't like them so I hurried and got an '87.

My dad said that if I had been around in his day "...you would have seen the '55 Chevys, not liked them and bought a '54".

(lol)

I haven't cared for the GM truck designs since they stopped building 07 classics. They just seem to get more and more gaudy (and pricey) with each generation.

I will reserve judgment until I see what the new HD's look like.

I love everything about my '17 Denali Duramax.

If the only alternative is Ford, Dodge or Toyota I like it a lot.

I’ll keep my 50k mile 3/4 ton Duramax with no DEF.

That's what I thought too, until my dealer's service dept dropped my '09 off the lift and totaled it. They put me in a '17 for a deal I'd been stupid not to take, but I still think any GMC Sierra 2014 or older is the best looking truck on the road. I'm not totally in love with my '17 HD's styling but on the road dragging my trailer it all becomes OK.

The '19 pictured isn't my favorite either but GM will sell a bunch of them.

Only reason I mention DEF is where I live it will slush in the winter and put you into limp mode which makes for highly enjoyable ride home........not!!

Last year on my 3 month RV trip to Alaska, a guy was traveling with us in a 2016, 14k mile 3/4 ton Ford. We did a 100 mile loop through the Klondike gold fields, 50 miles from Dawson City his truck went into limp mode due to a failure in the DEF system. He spent 8 1/2 hours limping back to Dawson at 5 mph.

Up there they tear the DEF system off and throw it way.
