    Having owned both, i would choose the 3.0L. But 6.2 was nice, i just like the torque of the 3.0L, and it seems more fun to drive to me. Much happier with my 3.0!!! And the mileage is way better. My 3.0 i get close to 30 highway, and 18 city, my 6.2, was 23 highway, 13 city. Drive em both and decide for yourself! Good luck, Mike

    I just went on a 500 mile round trip, and averaged 26.4 for the whole trip in my 3.0L 4x4, with 5 peeps in the truck and cruise set on 79mph most of the time. I was pretty happy, my last 2015 6.2L 4x4 averaged between 21-22 mph to the same destination. Very happy with the baby D-max!!! Mike

    I've only had mine for 3 months, but so far I can say best truck I have ever owned(my last truck was a 2015 GMC 6.2L 4x4). Best on freeway has been 31.1, my average is ~21-22 around town, 26-27 freeway. So fun to drive, I love it. Hope i can keep this one for a long time!!!! Mike

    The 2020 6.2 also comes in a 10 speed. I opted for the 3.0L mostly for its mpg. And I really liked its low end response and drive-ability. Maybe also something different that i had before. I could not be more happy with it. You should try driving them all. I would be happy with any of the current GM trucks, as long as they have the newer 10 speed. Btw, My Chevrolet sticker price was just under 57K(not dealer marked up price), and I paid just over 43K, so the extra cost was not a huge concern since i feel i got a very good price, at least here in SoCal.

    Hi all, I went from a well equiped 2015 GMC 6.2L 4x4 to a 2020 Chevy RST 3.0L Diesel 4x4. I gotta say, I prefer the 3.0L way more. Its not even close. The 3.0L's 10 speed trans is butter smooth, way better than the 6.2's 8 speed clunker. I couldn't stand that trans. Also, I am averaging 21 around town, and 30 on the highway. My 6.2 was 12/22, not bad for that setup. but not even close to this diesel. and its so fun to drive! Also, so much more responsive @ the low end. Middle and top not quite as fast, but not to far off. Hard to tell its just a 6 cylinder. this is my 4th GM truck, and by far my favorite. I am hoping it stays reliable, if so, I will keep this one for a while! Best regards, Mike

    Hi Guys, For what its worth, I loaned my new truck to Bilstein to use my 2020 Silverado Crewcab 4X4 3.0L Dramax as a test mule last week. I am near their San Diego Corporate office and hooked up with them. They kept my truck for 6 business days. Great group of guys @ Bilstein. They fit prototypes and said they will let me know when the production parts are ready to test fit on my truck. Hopefully this helps get their products to production sooner!!! btw, this is only for front, they did throw a free set of 5100's on the back in the meantime. Best regards, Mike

    Wow! Perfect looking setup! Thanks for sharing. I too just purchased the 3.0 Diesel. My last truck was a 2015 GMC 6.2 4x4, a bit faster, but i'm digging on driving this new diesel, especially @ the low end. Also I love the 10 speed trans way smoother than my old 8 speed clunker! Mike

    To quote another toyota forum I frequent about vibration issue just like the one some people are having here... "I'm calling and will see what Toyota will do; however, this is starting to really irritate me since the dealership seems to want to be totally hands off on this. I'm starting to regret that I traded in my FJC for this truck. Overall, I like much about it; however, this issue is ridiculous in todays day and age.....and I'm getting more and more PO'd at the dealership for not seeming to care one bit." Just letting you know, even the almighty Toyotas have a similar issue. Im willing to bet its all just bad batch's of Rims and/or Tires. No issue on my GMC truck, thankfully. -Mike

    Mine still not shaking at any speed, even after lift and new tires. I'm starting to feel cheated!!!

    1050! Great price, where did you get them??? Thanks, Mike

    The upgrade for me was night and day. I would expect the icons and fox to give similar results. BTW, the upgraded springs make a big difference in ride. I was amazed at the difference. I think you will be very satisfied with your choice. Maybe someone with that setup will chime in. Mike

    For me, having had bilsteins, and then changing over to Icons on my last truck. It was a no brainer. Same with fox or king. IMO, you get what you pay for. I don't have mine on my new truck yet, but I expect them to perform like my last truck. And it was money well spent. Good luck, Mike

    I had icons on my last truck, and I just ordered them for this truck. The ride is amazing, night and day. I will report back after the install. Mike

    Agreed, I would much rather have 18's with bigger sidewall, that the 20's I have, even though I like the way they look(All Terrains). I just wish they were 18's with the same look. -Mike

    It seems like all 8 people that hate their truck(see link) on in this thread! lol.... This is my 12 brand new truck in my lifetime, and so far my best *knocks on wood*. And I have tried them all, not a fanboy of any in particular. I sure am glad I don't have the bad luck of these people! ;) Free bump for fireaxxe! -Mike http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/159890-how-satisfied-are-you-with-your-2014-gm-truck/page-27

    ** Read Before You Buy a 2014/2015 GM Truck** My truck is awesome, make sure you buy one, you will love it. Now since I cancelled out your opinion, can we delete this thread??? Lmao!
