April 1st of each year is the first day that a car mfg can "legally" sell a vehicle of the next model year. So GM can start selling the 2015 new body style (K2XX) HD trucks on april 1st 2014.

Kinda like what they did with the GMT-900 Tahoes. They were released as 2007 model year vehicles, very early in the 2006 calendar year.

From what I have read, production on the K2XX HD trucks will begin mid January 2014, and go on sale/arrive at dealer lots in early April 2014.

The "square body" trucks ('73-'87 ('91 on Blazers/Suburbans)) that everyone seems to love so much had very square wheel openings.

Personally I like the look of the new trucks.

This is what i am thinking. I love the old squares and the new trucks just look like modernized square bodies. I like the new look. Just imagine that red truck lowered on 20's with a nice wide stance:happy2:

Why does everyone say chrome is ghetto these days? Before my time they used to put as much chrome on a car as possible, now that's dubbed gay. Hell all old people ever say is that my truck needs some more chrome and it would look good hahaha

I do not think chrome is gay or ghetto. But there is a line where there is to much. Chrome is meant for clean lines and accenting paint job. The front of the 07-13s is alittle much. Those look better with a color matched bumper, and the new 14s could use alittle clor matching also imo. But i do like some chrome.

I'm going to have to switch forums. Fords are so much nicer. If I'm spending 50-60k on a new vehichle, the interior better be big and luxurious, and the tires better fit in the gd wheel wells! Gm engineers have always had troubles with shapes. A circle doesn't fit into a square hole for hecks sake!

Rear cab actually looks smaller in the photo.... Damn

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but aren't they like the Tundras now? Even the extended cabs have 4 full doors and the cc just have bigger doors. I think that pic posted is an ext cab... I could be wrong though

Just like the new dodge trucks that came out in '11 if I'm right. They need to take a que from dodge and have coolers recessed in the back passenger floor boards.

You guys will have to personally sit on one of those trucks and check it out. I wasn't a big fan of them until I started really inspecting them closely. There's a lot of small details and changes made that I was really impressed with. It's the small things that I notice and in my opinion GM did a damn good job with those. Granted this is in regards to the half tons but I would assume the same with the HD's.
