2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Gets a Face-Lift - PickupTrucks.com
Interesting new face for the Silverado, will need to see other variations before I can say whether I like it better than the current look (I'm sure the crossbar will be chrome on non-Z71 models). It appears the headlights are similar to the GMC Sierra now, whereas the 2014 & 2015 Silverado had a dual light setup (simplifying the commonality between the two brands). It also looks like the Z71 takes on the monochrome appearance that the GMC Sierra All Terrain model has had since 2014. The grille is better, definitely. A ways to go to be an nice looking truck but definitely better than those laughable looking trucks they've been building. I like that GM is addressing the "plain/ordinary/boring" complaints but the issue I have on this and the GMC's are the LED DRL's. The individual LED lights look like the LED's that came out 6 years ago. Over the last 2-3 years all other automakers have been moving to LED light tubes which look so much sharper and modern. I like the styling cue of this new Silverado nose but GM needs to move away from the proposed LED's to light tubes so the new headlights don't look like Pep Boys add-ons. it should be available to all truck motors as it is badly needed (especially in the V-6). Front end looks better however, the square wheel wells need to go. If they were rounded off in this re-fresh, the truck would look MUCH better. Source: news.pickuptrucks.com
