DO WANT!!! Hope it goes into production cause that my next work truck!

I'm a huge Ford guy but like that! If they put a real chassis under it it will be awesome.

 

[steven2120]

wicked truck...i would definitely buy that

 

[jaredszakacs]

oh i'm sure any chassis gm does will be great there new chassis and engine/tranny combos just murdered all the competition so no big surprise if they put this truck out an kill the competition again!

Nice copy on the Dodge box...

Funny, nothing new here, looks like what 90% of all GMs look like here in town. It is nice to see a manufacturer actually offering what people are doing on their own though...

Solid axle and they would have a winner here!

Exactly, who the hell wants a solid axle unless you spend 90% of your time offroad in playing in rock gardens. 95% of all trucks sold never even see gravel roads. They're pavement queens, so you want the ride quality of ifs.

Mine sees 90% gravel, trail and off-road...Im the one that wants a soild axle. In my opinion, if you want a decent ride, buy a half ton...

Looks very similar to the 04-07 fords (When it had the different grill, compared to now)to me. What do you guys think?

[steveo10]

IFS is ten times better than solid axle smooth riding and oh yeah just as tough! IFS is just as strong as solid axle thats why you see the diesel power challenge winners rockin chevy's with IFS suspension! mine sees gravel logging roads,pavement,creek, you name it my truck sees it and yes guess what IFS

IFS is not...and never has been, and never will be as strong as a solid axle. Even saying it out loud should make you question your statement. Better?? No definitely not. Unless you are still talking about the ride...They ride better of course, but not as strong, not as durable, and for sure not better...

This is the kind of thing we see in the field...ride isnt that great when this stuff happens...

LOL, dont tell Jared, I think he gets a dollar every time he says how good a GM is...

Great engine, great tranny, just not a solid work truck. One change would make a world of difference, just sayin...

Solid front axles don't have tie rods?

Who knew?

 

[SLEDBUNNYRACING]

She's a very pretty truck...

 

[jaredszakacs]

just sayin that IFS keeps up just as good and in some cases surpasses the solid axle I have had solid axle trucks they feel like you are driving a skidder down a road just old and rough! The Ifs does well in sled pulling in fact a ton of guys still use that ifs suspension and beat up on the dodge and ford trucks solid axle has it benefits and IFS has it's benefits the beauty of IFS is it is the most comfy truck suspension and well I spend a ton of time in my truck so it better be comfy not like a dodge or ford and beleieve I have been in all the new ones so dont tell me I dont know cause i do and chev is the comfiest truck hands down! and no payment from me just love getting the dodge and ford guys all worked up it makes me laugh seeing you guys almost start crying when someone says chev is better wich it is! 2011 truck of the year I hope Nadp would do well there trucks have virtually nothing stock left in them I know i used to be a dealer for them I've seen and heard what is done to those trucks and well they arent cheap money can make any truck a rocketship!

All your video shows is tie rods bending has nothing to do IFS. I have 340k on my IFS 3/4 ton and most of that is oilfeild miles and your solid axle front end will wear ball joints out the same as IFS except i can ride in comfort!!
