With the introduction of the new GMT900 series of full-size trucks coming early next year, it’s time for the
speculation to begin. Word has it that the changes will be “evolutionary”, or “change what’s broken and leave the rest
alone”. The sheetmetal will be all-new and should provide more differentiation between Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac models.
Arguably the largest problem with the current line-up is the interior, which should be much improved as is the trend
with newer GM vehicles. Let’s just hope they can add a bit of style while bringing a level of durability that’s
appropriate for a truck. Where significant change won’t take place is under the skin, as the basic layout and execution
of the GMT800 remains competitive (if you don’t think so, please feel free to suggest changes in the comment section).
On the powertrain side, six-speed transmissions come first with hybrids appearing around ’08, and expect more power all
around the engine line-up.
Don't expect huge changes for new GM full-size trucks
