Re: The look

IMO the GMT400 was the last visually appealing truck that GM, or anyone for that matter, has made. Anything beyond that has been a weenie-stretching contest on who can make the toughest looking truck.
The white 99 was the only brand new vehicle I ever bought. Clean and simple lines and nice stance. Nothing overwrought about the design.
The yellow 03 GMT800 has been my daily since 2010. Hate the look of the 03 GMC noses and not nuts about the big fender flares, but besides that, not a complicated design. It's got 224k miles on it now, hoping it'll last another 10-15 years at least.
A huge thing for me is wheels and tires that look proportionally correct with the rest of the truck and these are the last ones that look even remotely right.
