This Is The All-New 2027 Chevy Silverado 1500

Column shift, but if it's electric and lightweight like I recently seen, then it'll be shit. I'd break it off the first week.

It frees up the center console and you dont have goofy cup holders.

The big question is. . . Are you able to shift into neutral if the turd bricks itself

They have a put a box end wrench in the missing glove box if you can get under it to access the shift cable into the transmission.
 
Are the current crop of 2500s electric shift or mechanical?

There's shift linkage going into the transmission to engage from park. The transmission control module (TCM) does the gear shifting L1-L10.

I posted a YouTube video some time ago where a tow truck driver showed the process to mechanically shift the transmission into neutral using a box end wrench to rotate the linkage and lock it into neutral.

Here's a different one for HDs.

If it's like the electronic column shifter in some of their other vehicles, it'll be shit. Not something you're going to want to grab if you're off road and you need to jump into neutral or reverse.

I can't recall if I felt that in a new Tahoe or if it was that EV Trailboss I was in. I have no idea how the EVs work, but generally speaking that seemed like a decent looking rig and sat big!
 
I just can't get over the setup of the grill and lights... I hate the main headlights under the signature Chevrolet grill bar and logo. At least make them even with the bar, like the grill setup on the new 2500, If you cannot put them above the bar like they have usually always been. I like my Headlights nice and High!!!! ;)
 
I am wanting to hear how much tire you can get in to the wheel wells now that it starts stock with 35s. Will Peak and others be ready with aftermarket lift/suspension kits, Borla exhaust upgrades, Method wheels, all the cool stuff. BTW, I assume the 6.6L is the same tried and true 6.6L Chevy currently has. Damn sure will want a Cold Air Intake FIRST thing!

I believe I read this isn’t the same 6.6 that’s currently in the HDs, it’s a “new” engine for the 1500’s - I can’t find the link where I read that, someone closer can confirm or correct me here.

That's correct! This new generation motor has been discussed for a long time. It has its own unique motor code.

The biggest question is where will it be built and what QC will be done to ensure the parts are built correctly? They still haven't demonstrated the ability to build 6.2Ls in spite of knowing what the issues are with bad parts and questionable assembly.

Thanks for confirming - and validates I wasn’t dreaming 😅

If it truly ends up being a solid motor, I might be tempted…until then, I will stick to the HD diesel. The devil I know vs the devil I don’t.
