They definitely copied Ford on the gauge layout and the top of the tailgate flaring out. I'm very happy to see that all trucks come with 4-wheel disk brakes once again. The interior is nice except for how it looks like an aftermarket company wrapped the dash in a thick padded piece of leather.

I figured as much. That or I know some luxury cars have sensors that will apply the breaks if it think you are about to rear end someone

I'll hold my reservations until I see one in person, but so far I think they went slightly backwards in looks. Why so much chrome? The headlights on both are absolutely gaudy, and I'll continue to dislike the GMC fender shape.

I truly was hoping for a competitor to the ecoboost, even if it was "copying" Ford.

Discs all around are nice. Crew with a 6.5 bed is cool. The interior I'll need to see in person also.

I'll keep dreaming that they give buyers the option to stuff the 6.2 in a regular cab.

Edit* I went to GMFS after this and found a couple links to many more pictures. Still disgusted by the GMC headlights, but I think the Chevy could really grow on me. I wish I could see a regular cab.

Call me crazy but I like the silverados, especially if they release it with an appearance package where its all color matched. The computer nanny is the killer for me.
