Re: 2009 trucks
I think ford and dodge are both changing things up for 2009 and I suspect GM will do some sort of a body change for 2010, but it will be somewhat minor like from '02 to '03 (same basic truck with different skins).

I doubt they will. I bet theyll look the same for another year or 2. then they will change after dodge and ford have their big changes just to boost their sales back up in a year or two

to a certain extent. I think they are going to wait a year or two before they make their changes AFTER ford and dodge come out with their changes.

Re: 2009 trucks
No major changes. Six speed auto and baby Duramax. I think things will continue to look the same.

Brakestands make for great aroma therapy.

Re: 2009 trucks
The big changes will be for the M/Y 2012 when fuel economy requirements start. Expect a big jump in economy in 2012 and little there after to 2015.
