FortVancouver01 Champion Author Washington Posts:1,170 Points:288,045 Joined:Jul 2012	Message Posted: Oct 30, 2012 3:00:30 PM Ignore FortVancouver01 Report Abuse Hope this will continue the top quality rating with Consumer's Reports. I drive half and three-quarter ton pickups from Chev, Ford, Dodge and Toyota. For quality I would rank the four: Toy as #1, Chev as #2. Ford comes in as #5 and Dodge comes in as #20. For off road use, I would put the Chev as #1. Toyota is only a half ton.

tomok Champion Author Portland Posts:33,017 Points:2,345,510 Joined:Aug 2006	Message Posted: Oct 30, 2012 2:08:01 PM Ignore tomok Report Abuse GM launches redesigned Silverado? But will it have higher MPG, with the same carrying and towing capacity? Probably Not! It's only for those that need a truck for business, carrying large or heavy items or towing trailers. I will drive my current vehicle into the ground before buying anything new, used, EV, Inbred, diesel, hydrogen, alternative fuel, CNG, concept and certainly not a Prius, Tesla, Leaf, Volt or any of those pickups on the market! Whatever the size or shape of the vehicle, Produce and ‘Drive’ vehicles with high MPG, are very safe, reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money. The price of fuel at the pump is too high! XII/XXII/MMXII!

Same truck with a new grill and headlamps and new interior. The best they could say was they change the headlamps. I will stick with my "paid for" 2006 Silverado.
