2014 Chevy/GMC specs

[RollingsFarms]

Pricing sure is getting wild with trucks, and not just these new GM's....EVERYONE! $32,700 for a stripped down, 2wd, crew cab with most likely 3:08 gears and a v-6? Uhhh no thanks. My fully loaded TRD Tacoma that MSRP'd for $33,000 is just going to have to last me....awhile.

You can save around 10k off of a new F-150.

True but it's not across the board, it's only for certain model F-150's as I understand it. If I knew they'd knock off 10k on an FX4 super crew I might have to seriously consider it.

I think this one is a FX4. MSRP for 50k, they have it listed at 38k

That's a good deal and a nice truck. Eco Boost, sharp color, leather interior, locker, trailer brake controller, ect.

Only change I would make is for 3.73 gears versus the 3.55. Even with the 3.55's its tow rating is 9,800#.

I'm not trying to bash GM but I just don't think they have the resources to invest in all new engines for their trucks. That has to take a massive amount of money. I also think it's why the Tundra and Titan are behind when it comes to fuel mileage. In Toyota's and Nissan's case it's more because of the number of sales are not that high to justify that big of an investment. For Ford they are all in. The F series is their bread and butter. They have to be at the front.

Gm outdated engine technology- maybe so but the engine they came up with for Indy just took first place and more than a few of the next positions....
Not bad, not bad at all for a company that can't build a competitive engine??

Maybe they should have invested that money in something worthwhile like a production engine.

How is the Gen V engine outdated?

If anything it makes the 5.0L Ford seem outdated.

Maybe , but companies learn a lot by pushing the boundries- the engine is twin turbo like Fords Eco boost and also direct injected Like the Eco boost

The Indy engines push the envelope, in the power vs. fuel consumption and the efficiency difference can mean one less pit stop that wins the race. I'm sure GM will take what they learn and apply it to production engines and some of it will translate to better durability, fuel economy and power to...

Maybe but I wouldn't count on it. In 2003 GM introduced a dual overhead cam 4 valves per cylinder V8 engine for indy. Did an overhead cam make into their trucks? Are the using 4 valves per cylinder? What's the new engine? I thought I read it was a 2.2l twin turbo direct inject 12,000 rpm V6. GM may have used what they learned when it comes to direct inject, that would be a good thing but what else? I'm asking because I would like to know.
