The shooters at KGP Photography have some new shots of GM's facelifted fullsize pickups, with prototypes for the Silverado and Sierra caught running on the streets of Milford, Michigan. Sources suggest that the redesign will provide a little more differentiation since the current trucks were criticized for looking too similar to the prior-generation models. There may also be some cues to tie the fullsize trucks to the new Canyon and Colorado midsize trucks.

According to KGP, GM may go the aluminum route to battle Ford's F-150, but that change won't come until the next-generation trucks, reportedly due for the ’19 model year.
