Did someone say stepside bed?

That Sierra was the best vehicle I’ve ever owned, without question. TBI injection so simple you can fix it with screwdrivers, and read computer codes with a paper clip if necessary. Rode, drove, and had the turning radius of an aircraft carrier, but there wasn’t a flaw in these things anywhere.

That's kinda ironic, I had a 96 K1500 ECSB with a stepside and I hated it. It wasn't so much the model itself more than it was that particular truck. The stepside was too small to fit anything I needed inside of it, the AC didn't work, it had the third door in the rear and it didn't shut right and there is no adjustment in that door, the hinge is welded on both sides, it didn't have a limited slip, I had issues with the spider injectors, it left me stranded a couple times, once was an overheat, once was a blown brake line. I just didn't get along with that truck. I only had it maybe 7 or 8 months but I was glad to get rid of it when I did.

I paid 40K Canadian for my fully load GT Challenger. I would seriously consider this especially if AWD was available. GM has NOTHING I want in my price range without horrendous styling and any practical use. Ironically Ford has the perfect drive train for this in their trucks, the EcoBoost.

Now THIS is something I like! The 2020 Syclone carries on the spirit of the original with the blown V6 without trying to be a look alike of the original.

Rockers that eat themselves from the inside out even in the south/southwest, dashes that literally crumble to nothing, gawdawful expensive HVAC control heads that fail often, HVAC solenoids that failed when new, frames that bend with any real weight in the front half of the bed....that's just the ones that come to mind right away.

But, I own one (Tahoe, actually) because it was cheap, and is rated to tow 7K. Looked at newer trucks, everything is a car with a bed, V6 or miniscule v8s rated to tow almost nothing, unless you buy diesel...and that's a whole 'nother set of problems

Agree the design is crap. BUT, the GTO, G8 GXP, SS, we're ALL also CRAP. Not a quality one in the lot. Ugly as sin, cheap materials, poor finish. Pure garbage.

Then they put a premium price on the steaming pile.


Forgot the 4l60.... never understood why not just use the 4l80e exclusively.

Depends, are they going into a gbody other than a monte, malibu, or elky? If so, probably yes.
