Only came in dead last in most performance metrics......goes to show what a lux interior and nice ride will do.
it's likely fine...people who buy trucks don't likely care about 0-60 times and many Gs it can register on the 'ring.

this comment here is what will help sell it far more than any "performance specs":

Haha, they spent a lot of words on how much they didn't like the Chev. 

I don't think the Chev is a bad truck, especially not by the standards of trucks from even 3 years ago.  It's just that the other two brands have surpassed it in their refresh (Ford) or redesign (Ram) in the last year or two. 

I guarantee the Chevy is still worlds more refined than even a top-trim 1794 Tundra (which would be why you don't see Tundra's in these comparisons).

They need to fix a few things to be on the top. Namely the interior, needs way more luxury. GM offered two dash designs in the 07-13 trucks, for the life of me I cant figure out why they don't repeat that formula. There will be new SUV's out next year on this platform and you can bet they'll have a more upscale interior (just like the current full size GM suv's). They need to jazz up the top trims. They also need to make the auto ride available on the Silverado High Country, the Sierra Denali compares favorable to the Ram in term of ride comfort. My ideal truck would be a new Sierra AT4 6.2 with the Rams interior!
