Ouch.....

GM's franchise pickup truck is the most disappointing "all-new" vehicle I've driven this year. Aside from the utter face-plant of its styling, this Silverado reeks of cost-cutting and profit-padding.
I bought a Raptor Loving it. Glad I didn't wait.

The dealer said no regular cab model till the first 1/4 of 2019 there is no demand for them. They have turned the pickup trucks into big SUV's with a sand box in the back for the kids.

Well said, most people would not even consider hauling stuff in the SUV truck for fear of it getting dirty .
Even back in 2001 when I bought my 2500HD they had a hard time finding me a standard cab with 8 ft bed.

My brother n law bought the new body style in a BOSS package. Its a nice truck white with black painted bumpers. One thing I do not like is the rear bumper. It has cut outs for the exhaust but the pipes stop 1/2" before cut out and the opening has a fake tip. Its an awful set up it will be all rusted in that area in a couple years I bet. I real bad design in my eyes.

Front and rear styling look hideous. Powertrain obviously is strong. Brother in law just got a '19 Ram Big Horn. Much more presentable looking IMO and a very nice truck overall.

I always liked the Surburban frontends & didn’t understand why the trucks didn’t have the same front end ...
Personally I’ll take a crew cab longbed 4X4 6.7 Powerstroke

The 2019 styling is much better than the '14-'18 models, to me. So far I like my '19 real well- it's a 1500 crew LTZ 4X4 with a 6.2.
