I wasn't aware of a 2013 Avalance? The Silverado is a 2014 and will be tested with the 2014 trucks...where it will go against an even better DodgeRoy Thigpen said:They have yet to test the Silverado and Sierra, and technically the Avalanch had a higher score, but it's out of production.

You're kidding. Read carefully and you'll see that they often slant the language of their reviews. My favorite came years ago in a review the brand of which I can't remember. It was something along the lines of "the trunk latch menaces the heads of users."John Rogers said:I find Consumer Reports to be a highly credible source on automobiles.

The translation of that into real person speak would be, "You could bump your head on the trunk latch if you aren't careful."
But they had to use "menaces" instead, not at all an objective characterization. They've got a vested interest in making their readers think that they live in a dangerous world that CR is protecting them from. This leads me to take all their reports with a grain of salt.
BTW, I have considered subscribing just so I could report the exemplary reliability of my Chrysler Corporation vehicles in their annual auto survey. What they have reported and what I have seen is sometimes worlds different.
I added my comment on this video:Doug in Florida said:OK, this is along the lines of CR. It's from Edmunds during their long term review of the Dart, and one of the many complaints is the trunk. The Concorde's trunk was similar, and it is certainly not that bad.
