I'm sorry but I have a very hard time believing this. GM knows that that would kill it's truck market. Is there a way to post the pic?

I would suspect that if they did that on the 1/2 tons they would leave the 3/4 tons alone. Hopefully....

I was wrong about it being a prototype. It is the Chevy Hydrogen version that was sold to the military. They sold 1500 of them. One thing to note is that is on the GMT 800 platform, not the new 900.

Pic looks to be taken here in AZ. Mesa AZ is home to the GM proving grounds at least for now. GM wants to close the place and move the proving grounds to Mexico.

Yes it's a fuel cell powered prototype. But you never know... if it's already on a truck it could be in the future.

Don't forget the H1 has IFS too.

16" of ground clearance on a HD would be nice.

They beefed up the drive train on the Alpha H1 to handle the dmax/alli torque.

Wouldn't it be called "IRS"?

That open grille with the bowtie by itself looks nice.
