Um, no. But thanks for playing.

Absolutely can. Angled with bars turned. Just like I’ve gotten 2 in the bed of my 6.5’ with the gate closed.

The 4 cylinder is interesting. Wonder if it's Atlas based. I don't know that it's a great decision going this route but I wouldn't be surprised if they're trying to get CAFE numbers up and/or they're reducing their engine tooling costs by having a common platform engine. This is very similar to what Volvo did a few years back where they went to a 2.4L that had a "menu" of power levels. If the tuner community continues to be locked down GM could theoretically just use the same hardware throughout and up charge for what amounts to a tune.

Then again there may actually be some minor differences. It'll be interesting to see what the first groups of people who research/build these figure out.

It could also be as a prep for a hybrid platform. Volvo did that on the XC90 T8.

I would have to go back and find the article, but the upper (and middle?) power output versions have some different hardware and internals for the additional power. It was something to do with more efficient cooling so they could run more boost.

Everyone fails to remember that I have more than one *type motorcycle.

K. You’re just being a sally. 2” isn’t going to make or break you same with putting the rear tire on the tailgate. How often do you have something in the back of your truck currently?

Anyone tuning the Silverados right now? These are really too porky IMO to be great as a sport truck, but figure I'd ask. Would be a fun swap into something more S10 sized.

i think the 4 bangers are actually relatively quick also iirc.

4 banger, turbo, 8 speed auto and if they keep similar trans gearing to the outgoing model which I have, the first gear is 4.5x and the gearing out back is 3.42. But the new one is 400 lbs heavier.
