2013 Chevy Silverado

The new Chevy is ugly... it looks like a dodge, honda, toyota truck... anyone heard of the 7.0? is it diesel or gas? A bunch of my friends that have seen this truck said they are now switching to FORD bahahaha!

They're trying to market to those guys that want to show their feminine side. A total chick magnet....

That's not the new Chevy. It's a photo of a concept that's been around for a few years now.

Agreed. Just by looking at the picture, it's obviously a concept truck.

The engine sounds plausible though, but probably not in a 1/2 ton pickup. Would probably be a great performer in the HD lineup though.

Its a concept truck, which in most cases means that the finished product will look absolutely nothing like it.

Hard to believe the Tonka one is about 10 years old now...

that actually kind of resembles a 2008-10 truck now that i look at it. headlights are flipped though, and the taillights are from a newer F150 it seems

Seriously!

I never did like the fact that Ford flipped the headlights and put 'em on the bottom. I wanna flip mine back, haven't looked close enough to see if it's even doable...

Moved to the Ford vs. The Competition forum.

Steve, feel free to move this to the General Automotive forum if you'd like to but since it's not Super Duty tech. related, I sent it here.
