Anyone else see the '06 Tahoe on the cover of this months Truck Trend??
They look HORRIBLE!!! Looks basically like a revamped Expedition. Absolutely no radical design changes, I think this redesigned model is a step back from the current model. Interior is horrible, too, but of course the editors of the magazine praise it (I don't know why everyone feels the need to bash on the current interior, I love it). The reason I see this of relevance to this forum is that I'm sure the new Silverados are going to be built on this same frame, just like they are now. Also must mention that the mag says that the Silverados and the Sierras are going to start differing much more drastically.
Anyways, lets just say I'm glad I got my '04 when I did and I plan on keeping it for a LONG time if this is the new trend. I gotta say at this point that the new F-150 looks real tempting next to what is probably going to be the next Silverado...even to a diehard Chevy fan. |

I'm just holding out hope that the Silverados look better than the Tahoes. Not that it should really matter to me as long as my '04 holds out! No doubt that it will!

Check out this website to see the spy shots of the next trucks and SUV's. Scroll down to the bottom and pick out the catagory you want to see.
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ehiclesLanding I am going to reserve judgement on the new trucks until I can drive one; because with the increase in horse power, fuel economy and fully boxed frame, the ride may be worth driving an ugly truck. |

IT didn't look too impressive to me. Looks like they might be copying Ford with the huge bed sides to me.

Re: Anyone else see the '06 Tahoe on the cover of this months Truck Trend??
Honestly, to me, the pics on edmunds of the new Suburbans don't look a whole lot different in the front than the '06 trucks. Instead of having a seperate headlight unit and DRL/turn signal unit, they made it one piece, buyt aside from that, to me, it looks ver similar to the '06 truck in the front. I still stand behind my previous plastic bumper comment, though.

Re: Re: Anyone else see the '06 Tahoe on the cover of this months Truck Trend??
After looking at those Edmunds pics, I just don't know. 20 extra HP or not, I'm just not feeling it. Its going to be very interesting to see what happens when these things hit the dealers' lots. I thought the '06s were going to help with a dramatic turn-around for GM, but now I'm more worried than ever.

is it just me or does it look like a van frontend ? both of them... Must be the plastic..
Looks like they change the headlight and the hood. They made the lights more like a big square and the hood more with an arch. |

Nah, I'm sure that's just "metal impregnated ABS shavings" from the bed.

I want to seriously buy a new truck, but if they look as bad as I'm thinking, I might have to get something else..maybe the GMC's wont look as bad. I guess I'll have to stick to driving old shit.
