We've shown you spy shots of the new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. What we haven't been able to show is the two of them together... Until now.

Automobile has gotten their hands on some new spy shots of the new Silverado and Sierra testing together. Much like the current models, the pictures reveal the trucks will have slight visual differences that include wheels, fender openings grilles, and taillights.

The trucks feature a set of projector headlights and larger lower air dam. Around the side, the doors appear to not have any character lines. There is evidence of bright work around windows and some cladding along the bottom.

The back end has a truck bed that is straight and flat, while the tailgate has some creases.

Interesting, clearly just evolutionary not radical next generation change.

Agreed..

So are they saying the big differentiator will be wheels, grilles and cladding? They went to the trouble of making different front clips, bedside skins and taillights on the 900, and not many people even noticed. These new ones appear to be going the same route. Maybe the interior visuals will be different between the two this time.

Finally!! GMC is putting the larger corporate logo int he center of the tailgate. It has taken them long enough! Makes me happy

After looking at the photos, I don't predict an end to the "why is GMC even around/kill them/rebadge..." posts any time soon. They're simply not different enough. Considering how far GM has come at differentiating their platform mates in recent years I am really, really disappointed. With that said, I can't wait to see them.

They can get away with new front clips, skins and taillights as long as the interior is world class leading. If all they do is minor interior update tweaks, then GM is falling into old bad habits.
