Love the square body! My dad has a 2016 Silverado and it does not feel like a truck.

New trucks are more like luxury cars or SUV’s with a bed on it unfortunately

There has already been a thread on this new retro paint, on a pig. Seems most of us here are not impressed. Some of us (ME!) are outright disgusted.

Thread given a descriptive title and moved to Other Vehicles.

I have seen some of the Retro Throwback paint scheme trucks. Some look great, some look ehhh not so much. I could certainly live with this one though.

This rendition is definitely better than the garbage that some dealerships tried to pull off.

It might look alright if it wasn't a crew cab. Can't hardly find a regular cab pickup these days.

Right, I've seen some that just weren't so great. This one not bad at all.

I don't like it. Some of the retro stuff the automakers have come out with has been OK, but putting a retro paint job on a new truck is just putting lipstick on a pig.


X2...or more like a ribbon on a turd
