2014 Silverado/Sierra released

[rmk700]

From a guy that builds em. I work at Ft. Wayne GM truck assembly here in Indiana. We have built several 2014 pilot jobs (test trucks/not for general sale) in the last month.

What's the expected HP and torque on them?

Ahh yes.... Let the Union hating begin. It's the UAW's fault that GM couldn't forecast the future and oversee their own finances.

Pretty much.

They will release that closer to the launch date. One of the testers said that the new 6.2L pulled like a train.

I love the new features on them, just wis we could see how much more room the new crew cabs will have in the back seat.

I will be getting a new GMC 1500 Crew Cab in 2015...

I have to admit I din't really care about he bail out - at least we used our money at home for a change. I rather see our money go to our country and help our friends/neighbors/family's than anywhere else.....

Not hating on unions at all, just sayin how it is. Bailout didn't save any jobs, probably costed more on the end of non union and other contractors to GM. The bailout did protect the union, that was its purpose.

Pretty much.

How you figure, Hoss? Auto workers build the final product. Not oversee the financial dept. at GM headquarters in Detroit the last time I checked. You just keep buying Toyota's and feeding Japanese families. I do dig your tractor though.

Don't have any numbers yet. I want to know myself. This will be released when we start building production units for purchace.

I could not agree more!!

Point taken. I will admit some of our non union vendors did get a raw deal. Our 07 national contract was reopened and revised also. Health benifits were cut, OT revisions were made, and wadges wer cut dramatically for any new employees just to name a few. I haven't had a raise in 8 yrs but I'm greatful to still have a job w GM. BTW. I lived in Ft. Worth, TX for 3 years and worked at Arlington Assembly with the launch of the 07 bodystyle on the Tahoe, Yukon, and Escalade. THe fullsize SUV's are getting a new design for 14 also.

Yeah, the thing that sucks about that is that the vendors will have to charge more to make up for it or prepare incase it happens again.



Anyway I look more forward to the SUV release. I'll be very interested in one of those, I already have 2 trucks. The expedition I've never cared for much.
