Hopefully they can get rid of those god-awful fender flares on the superduties while they're at it.

Read about some of the comments from Motor Trend...they were not kind to the GM twins.

Some of the ideas looked pretty good but the wheel shutters I think will break quickly. So will that ladder rack.

Ramps will be stolen quickly.

See a little Dodge in those front fenders from the top views. Wonder what happens in January when your rims are full of snow or ice and the shutter tries to shut. I like the looks except for that strip down the middle of the cab roof.

I also agree that the shutters on the rims are a terrible idea for a cold winter. I really like the look of the interior, not crazy about the Grille though, it's still too big and bulky like the 2012's and newer. It'll be interesting to see what comes of it.

that particular version as shown at the show would not survive out in the wild. Nice gadgets but after the first year I don't think some of that stuff would still be working.
