Sharing design elements isn’t badge engineering. You can’t take that same part you’re using as an example and put it on the Hummer. WHY?  It's because they aren’t the same. The two vehicles don’t even share the same dimensions.  The Silverado EV and Hummer are a lot closer to the example you gave with the ATS and…

Personally, I think the WT wheels in the last photo look awesome. ( Unless you’re referencing that as 2nd to last photo. )

Here in BC I’d happily take that for logging roads and simply accessing half of BC that isn’t paved. It’s fine to buy a off road truck like this to simply access fishing lakes and go on marginally maintained roads in the woods. I’ll save the real offroading for 2 wheeled machines and laugh at the ‘serious off road…

damn, im out of touch. Thanks for the information. 

honestly seems like they picked it outa the ford mustang playbook....

the current raptor is 86.6 without the mirrors. 

ah, thank you. Its still a fat boy at 80. Iirc the Raptor is also 80. 

We’ve seen many cases of badge engineering, epecially from GM.  This is not that.

the lead engineer said 80.  its 4" narrower than the hummer. 

its kinda funny how much they do not like when you call this an avalanche.   its like they ran several focus groups that told them noone liked that truck so they wanted to instead bank on the silverado name, then when it actually comes out real non focus group people just wanna call it the avalanche. 

I’m all fine for the sport truck revival.

EValanche.

I feel like this is less of the case of a shared platform, and more of a case of badge engineering. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Ok, but can we talk about how awesome the wheels in the second to last pic look?

Oh, come on now...we all know it would take like ten minutes for Ford to slap a lift kit, big tires, and skid plates on an F-150 Lightening.

Pricing was on yesterday’s post

any guesses on the over/under on people re-badging this as an avalanche once they get it?

How did they make this look so good, yet screw up on the regular Silverado so badly?
