Your best bet is going to be a Z71 with the black grille insert or a Sierra All-Terrain. As far as I know there won't be a chrome delete option on Silverado.

Actually, you could probably go to your parts department and pull a High Country front bumper, install that on a Z71 grille, and voila, your own chrome delete Silverado.

I'd take a Sierra over all of them any day.
its because its got nice lines, looks sporty and muscular at the same time. doesnt look boxy like the GM and Ford do.

Meh. I guess I'm just a traditionalist. Same reason why I hate floor shifters in trucks.

And although I do like the Ram Box storage feature, the execution is pretty bad. There has to be a way to slim down the panel gaps.

I'm sure the 2014 Silverado will have a body color option just like the current Silverado does

What the hell happened to the Tundra?!?!? Did they run it into a wall in the design studio then decide "I like it!"?

I've always said Tundra reminds me of a beached whale on wheels.

I still don't know what the hell the significance of "1794" is. I think someone tried to explain it to me once but I don't remember.

I kind of like the current tundra... but not too much. Its to bulbous to me. A buddy of mine has a 2001 Tundra and its a real nice truck. Back before they became a bit of a beached whale as you say lol. But this new one.... good god man. Who ever decided to green like that needs his or her eyes checked!

Lawd almighty they screwed up the Toyota I like my 08 better. When I bought mine I really wanted a Chevy but I did not like the llooks. This one is better but I need to see it in person. The design is pretty clean but the front end looks huge. I guess that is the new design language, go big or go chrome.......or both for that matter.

I checked the site out too and saw it wasn't available yet either. I'm sure they're just trying to get the launch of 2014 out the gate. If it's not available at launch or shortly after, I'm certain it will be ready for 2015 MY. At least that's what I think.

I know the 1WT option on the site has no chrome.

The Tundra 1794, named for the year of the founding of original ranch site on which the present-day Tundra and Tacoma factory is located. The El Rancho de la Purisima Concepcion was founded by Juan Ignacio de Casanova, an immigrant from the Canary Islands, through a land grant from the Spanish crown. Originally more than 24,000 acres, the Texas Republic only recognized 4000 acres of the property. Until Toyota bought the property in 2003, descendants of the founder continued to hold title to the property.

OMG!!!!!!! I hate the front end. And the taillights are FUGLY!!!!!!! Oh the humanity....I'm keeping my 2010........

Oh, wait, wrong thread. I thought I was in a 2014 Camaro thread. LOL J/K.

It looks sharp. It does look a bit boxy, but then again, need to see one in person to get the entire flavor. I have to say that my 2010 GMC is a lot better than my old 2006 GMC, so if this new refresh is even better, then my goodness, it's a helluva truck.
