Still won’t outsell 450/550 chassis ford until they make it more like a pickup cab/height. Guys want the GVW but still the size of a conventional truck.

 

[Mike K]

Wow that's ugly.

I mean, none of them are testaments to beauty. They're mules meant to work.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Man fuck me right

 

[Bub]

Man fuck me right

Sup

Those Nissan vans are the ugliest things on the road...I don't understand how they sell

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

Because super user friendly for work stuff and decent price point.

In for gmc version. It’s annoyed me that GM stopped making kodiaks and just left the big market. Hopefully these trucks don’t turn out to be garbage.

Won't disagree there.

 

[BeerOrGasoline]

Yeah, who cares what it looks like if it's the best tool for the job. I think pretty much all the vans today look ridiculous but fuck if they aren't practical.

[IceCreamAssassin]

[Blood on Blood]

Convert into a race truck

[DEEZUZ]

Fuck the pick up truck wars, let's see medium dutys fight it out

 

[Stink Star]

Why don’t they use the L5P engine?

 

[rdsnake]

It’s the L5P.

No GMC Version. International will be releasing their version.

Oh it only had 700ft lbs though. They detune them for reliability or something?

 

[MikeyLikesIt]

Do they use a C channel frame because they don't know what everyone is going to mount on it?

 

[guspech750]

New GM medium duty trucks developed with Navistar. Right on track to be pieces of shit.

We got rid of all all our Navistar. Because junk.

Peterbilt/Kenworth and Ford's have been super dependable for us.

Honestly, not sure what their thought process was with it.

All truck bodies usually sit on top of the frame. C-channel is the norm with heavy duty trucks.

 

[Yaj Yak]

I think most duramax medium duty trucks from GM have been detuned in the past compared to their 3/4 and one ton counterparts.

Correct. All makes do this. 6.7 Powerstroke cab chassis is 350/700 vs 440/860 and cummins is 300/600 with G56 and 350/700ish with automatic.

It's because everyone I know that's in one of those trucks loaded up just flat foots it everywhere lol.

 

[Outlaw]

I actually think they look pretty good... I'm definately in to buy this for $9,000 in eight years at auction.
