2005 Updates?

[mopaco]

Has anyone heard what they are going to be? Also, does anyone know when are they going to completly redesign?

[TxNitro]

2006 is suppose to be a new upgrade to the trucks...not real sure...Chevy is keeping their mouths shut...but the 2005 HD's are suppose to get a different hood and grill surround...but last night I looked at a <what the sticker said 2005 HD> but it didn't look any different whatsoever....So who knows? I do know the suburban and the tahoe get the avalanche nose...next year..

I would be happy with small things like homelink and a factory MP3 player....

I like the body's on the current silverados but I think its definitly time for chevy to re-design the interior styling like ford did.

Well I got my new truck last night, and I had a chance to talk to the Ordering Manager at Henna Chevy in Austin,Tx and he said that the 2005's will have some interior changes, but nothing major....Also, the 2005's are loosing all wheel disc brakes...and two old school colors are going to re-appear.....Indigo blue metallic and Lt. Pewter Metallic will be replacing Sandstone metallic....but the biggest changes will be in the Tahoe's and Suburban's.....but I guess we'll see.

^I don't know if this is everything for sure its just from what I've been reading lately. Most of it came from a pretty reliable source.

John,

So there is gonna be a silver birtch metallic SS available?

Just my luck, just got my new truck and now they are gonna offer sunroofs....

I still think the SS needs to delete its AWD option and go 2WD with a supercharger option.....but once again thats just my

[Faze2183]
