Overview
- USPTO design drawings, spotted after a Dec. 9 grant of GM’s application filed Aug. 12, 2024, depict the next Silverado’s exterior in detail.
- The front end shows a split lighting arrangement with larger primary headlights, thin running lights above, and a more pronounced hood power bulge.
- Rear and side views indicate chunkier taillights that extend into the bedsides and a smoother bed-side ridge, with the Multi-Flex tailgate and bumper steps appearing to carry over.
- Reporters describe the styling as an evolution of the current T1-generation truck rather than a radical shift, with some noting similarities to recent F-150 cues.
- GM has announced nearly $900 million for its Tonawanda engine plant to build a new V8, which outlets expect to feature in the next-gen Silverado, though specifications remain unconfirmed.
