Nissan, Ford, Toyota and Ram, even Hyundai, brought a lot to the truck party at this year’s Detroit Auto Show. So, what did General Motors contribute to the buffet?

Paint and chrome packages for the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Canyon.

AutoGuide reports Chevrolet is offering a “Custom Sport” package for the 2016 Silverado LT and LTZ. Said trim consists of body color-matching bumpers and chrome-accented grille/surround. Chrome door handles, mirror caps, side molding and 20-inch wheels complete the package, expected to retail between $1,950 and $2,950.

GMC, meanwhile, introduced the “Nightfall” package for Canyon SLE crew-cab buyers, which throws black paint all over the body. Polished exhaust tips, 18-inch wheels, automatic climate control, and remote start make up the rest of the offering. No price was mentioned at this time.

    I hear you DeadWeight. Honestly, I don't see how GM sells as many vehicles today as it does.

    The black bowties are factory offered.The double cab replaced the extended cab and increased crash worthiness substantially with the introduction of the pillar and access ease. Rebates have been larger on the double cab most of the year. More Chevy trucks still actively registered since 1981 than Ford even though Ford sold more-hmmmm maybe they last longer. The combination of GM and GMC large SUV's own almost 75% of that segment-that is called domination and there is good reason for it-Chevy is better at building them. Do not hate on DW too much as every thread needs someone to be so obviously biased that they force even GM haters to look again at the product line to confirm their suspicions that hey maybe that hater is delusional. Thanks DW.

  • Slavuta Union....
  • Paul Alexander The Portuguese sports car.
  • Bd2 I hope they are more successful with Hyundai. Quality and ATPs only stand to improve with solid union support.
  • Dave M. In 2005 I remember my cousin texting me that he couldn't wait to show me his new car on my next visit home that summer. It was a gorgeous Pontiac, he said. I'm thinking Bonneville, Gran Prix....something suitable for a mid-40s debonair kind of guy. A few months later when I was home he drove up in his champagne colored Sunfire. My pangs of jealousy immediately melted away.He gladly inherited his mom's Camry 4 years later....
  • TMA1 I guess they're not expecting big things from a 5,800 lb sports car.
