I am surprised that they are getting rid of the dark garnet red. that is the color of truck that got me on the lot...had the dealer not pulled a bait and switch on me I would have bought it. They didn't have the extra for lift, rims and tires on the sticker or another sticker.
Same, I was going to get the Deep Garnett Metallic Denali before I seen the Midnight Edition. I'm not much of a flashy chrome guy but that metallic paint in the sun light clean looks beautiful. Especially if it had black rims. The one I test drove was in Cincinnati and apparently they let some dip shit test drive it before me and there was red sauce hand prints all over the interior including the ceiling. They said they would clean it for me and I was like nope. lol The other Denali I test dove was in Lexington and it looked like someones back had white paint on it and smeared the back seat. I looked at my fiancé and was like is this common for truck dealerships lol.
Wondering what shade was Butt Red....was it after a minor spanking to compare to, or was it more of a "you've been a bad girl" severe spanking shade?
haha:
The 2018 HDs start production the last week of July so they should start showing up on lots a week or two after that. Eager to see what the new Denali grille looks like.
YES! I completely agree. I had a green (polo?) Suburban. I loved that color! I actually didn't care for it when I bought it (used) but then I grew to love it.
I despise burgundy/maroon/red cars and trucks, but clearly a lot of people love them.
I also do not like black or especially grey interior. I want a brown or beige color inside. (Dirt is brown, y'all. And what little dirt I get in a car makes it look un-new on black or grey.)
And why do they not do the HD trucks in pearl white (Summit White = PVC/"plumber's" white)? And while we're adding features to the HD line, let's do the 4wd "auto" so when I'm skidding out on wet pavement in traffic, the front end can stay ahead of the back end.
Are they fixing the high-rev shift points for 2018?
I was initially disappointed to see that red removed, however, I just checked something on Chevrolet's website as a random thought popped in my head. The new Equinox is using the Cajun Red, and I think, of course, my opinion, looks just as good.
Surprised they still didn't change to the 2016 hafton grille. But with a new model coming 2019, I guess there was no point.
That's overall an underwhelming list. Really the only new feature is the tire fill alert. We'll have to wait even longer for heated rear seats and a 4wd dash indicator.
I totally agree on black interiors. I had to search all over the Pacific NW to find a 1 ton with a cocoa/tan interior. We live in the desert of Washington and folks just don't understand 110° and dark vehicles/interiors. Cocoa is hot enough, but as light as they had in 2015.
Yeah, I had the dark green on the '96 TD. It grew on me too.....but was a major hassle to keep clean, worse I think than black. But the bucket seats! Nice and roomy for a wide-glide rear end. :grinn
300k miles later, it was a major pain to sell. No one was interested in green. Downerrr
Finally convinced a landscaper that green was the best for the biz.
(plus $3k below market)
I noticed that as well when I looked at these trucks, in the desert we need those vents in the back to help cool down the truck. I was surprised they aren't available in any package that I looked at.
I wish they would go back to the good ole days, when they offered 10+ colors to choose from plus two tone. now day only have a few colors and they are all plain jane,nothing with real class. two tone brown&tan,green&green, blue&white, blue &blue,red&white,red&red,yellow&white.black&white,ETC
I think the main reason why they quit offering 2 tone is production cost and time the way the cars and trucks are painted nowadays it would add cost and add another step to the line or maybe 2 more steps to the production time and line
Does anyone know if they'll update to the same headlights as the ½ ton GMC's for 2018? You'd think if the grille is being changed they'd do that too.
Also, any info on what "Additional content for All Terrain package" includes?
Get your checkbook out... just added to the order guide (for Denali HDs only... not for any other GMC HD trim or any Chevy HD):
Effective 6/19/2017, the following changes will be made to the Vehicle Order Guide:
Color and Trim section-(G1W) White Frost Tricoat, updated footnote 1 to read "Late availability for HD models. Ordering to begin September of 2017. Available at extra charge.".
The fact there is no HVAC, or heated seats still blows my mind. I just don't get why they won't step up to the plate on those. My 2014 F150 has rear HVAC and its so great. Sure will miss that once i get back into a Duramax.
