You can bet that General Motors, Ford and Dodge will do their utmost to keep it that way, a point proven by <a href="http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2009/03/spied-2011-chevrolet-silverado-3500.html">this spy photo</a> of the 2011 Chevy Silverado 3500 over at <em>PickupTrucks.com</em>. At first glance, it might be hard to notice the differences over the current HD behemoth, but closer inspection reveals that the entire front clip has been heavily revised. <br /><br />The bumper has lost the huge chrome slabs that act as controversial visual bookends to the wide expanse under the grille of today's truck, which now houses rectangular fog lamps. A larger air inlet smack dab in the center of the new bumper funnels a cooling breeze to what appears to be a transmission oil cooler that may prove necessary given the huge loads that the Duramax diesel V8 will be able to haul with its rumored peak of over 700 lb-ft of torque. <br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2009/03/spied-2011-chevrolet-silverado-3500.html">PickupTrucks.c om</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/03/18/spy-shots-2011-chevrolet-silverado-3500-spotted/">Spy Shots: 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 spotted</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Wed, 18 Mar 2009 07:58:00 EST.
