Pickup truck Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab
The redesigned Silverado is considerably improved. It achieves a nice balance between work attributes and livability, including a generous payload rating, a comfortable ride, improved interior quality and steering feel, and easy access. ESC is standard on all crew-cab models. Price: $27,000 to $39,000. The GMC Sierra is virtually identical to the Silverado. The redesigned Toyota Tundra outscored the Silverado in our tests, but first-year reliability of the 4WD, V8 version was below average.

GM bashers, Say it with me now, Toyata’s reliability was “BELOW average!”

GM is making a lot of good changes. I’m not surprised. :tup:

Got best pickup in Car and Driver’s yearly awards too.

gm needs it.
They need to do what dodge did, fire all the old designers and get new young designers in.
Most of the new dodges have a hot style.

But what about the Titan???

10

I’ve driven my dad’s new truck a lot and it is really really really impressive. No surprise it won.

11

I always say that GM knows how to make 2 things… Corvettes and Pickups haha. I like the styling of the Tundra better but since I have absolutely no use for a pickup of that size my opinion does not matter in the least.

Yeah, GM should really do what Dodge did. Every car company should strive to represent 4 out of 10 spots on the worst cars list:
