Poor GM, design FAIL

Front looks great like the normal sierra denali (which i have owned and will say its a nice truck if they got the ecu programing right)
Once you hit the bed though it kinda looks like a plain afterthought. No lines at all. No trim to make it look better. Just this big piece of stamped steel.
Maybe thats why they have the 2011's all over but not one has yet been produced in denali trim?

It looks ok to me, but I like plain and simple lines. I'll bet its fiberglass instead of steel. Tooling for a limited volume product (>20k units/year) doesnt justify huge stamping dies for a part like that.

That pipe is designed to cool the exhaust in a diesel during a particulate filter regeneration. It's actually more of a tip.

I think a redesign on the bed for 2011 model year could carry on for atleast 10 years. So a good tooling set could have been made.
