2018 Silverado Reaper

[Mike Flea]

Anybody else see this?

Kinda looks like a Ram grill:lmao:

Saw a write up that Chevy is supposedly going to an aluminum body truck in 2019...that ought to throw that Chevy commercial with the brick drop right out the window, will have to see what chevy does to strengthen their bed

Does look like a Ram grill, but worse. That’s hideous...

Looks more like a mistake all around..............

Looks like it's just the hood, doors, and tailgate that will be going aluminum, bed floor and front wall is going to be high strength steel with the inner and outer side panels will be more of a conventional steel.

Judging by those pics in that article, they've shaped the front end structure to deflect impacting objects away from the cab in a small overlap impact and reinforced the floor where the front tires would punch through the floor in such impacts...............

The whole truck is, that's a Lingenfelter modded truck intended to be a Raptor fighter.

That's my feelings exactly, what were they thinking?

Here's the 2019 Ram, this front end looks like it came from the full size Toyota truck, or an angled GMC grill

OMFG :shock::shock::shock: are both the Chevy and Dodge puke worthy. Glad i don't make enough $$ to need a new truck. Even if i did no way would i buy those.

While we're on the subject, the current Nissan Titan looks equally barf-worthy.

I've only seen one of those Silverado Reapers on the road, it's even uglier in person.

According to this the bed will still be steel, the body panels aluminum.

"thumbsup""thumbsup" Good one Good One. Unfortunately i think this is one generation down the road called Millennial Falcon or whatever the kids nowadays are called. I have heard the saying "Millturd" in offices for Millennial Interns.

That "Reaper" front end is so poorly-proportioned that it looks like a first-time crap photoshop exercise ...

And I'll repeat again that I cringe at seeing such rubber-band tires on these posed shots.

Why not throw a decent (read "meatier") set of aftermarket tires on them?

Imagine the harshness of the ride and the potential for wheel damage, even on the Reaper...

I'm not asking for lift kits or even huge lugs.

Ah, whatever.

Chevy with their stupid square fenders.
Round object in a square opening. Who failed this simple puzzle in kinder garden.
When you lift these with bigger tires, there is 3 feet of gap from top of tire to the upper fender lip and 2 inches from tire to bottom of fender lips.

I think that's exactly why the '67-'72 body style trucks are still so popular, round-ish fender opening for round tires.

All i can say are thank god i was alive when they knew how to design cars / trucks.
Most new designs make me gag, and it have been this way for a while.
