INGMWETRUST

I wish had the option for Northsky Blue Metallic (their best color) or a charcoal grey, but had to summit white on my 25 AT4. Sterling grey looks like a dull grey to me. Black is beautiful but a b**** to maintain. Rams Delmonico red is 1000 better looking than radiant red in my opinion. I think all of the color options on a Ram 1500 are better than what we get from GM. But not worth testing my luck over a color.

25 Sierra 1500 AT4 Squeaking & Crackling (online-video-cutter.com).mp4 Anyone?

Got about 1700 miles on the new AT4 1500. Extremely loud and irritating squeaking/crackling sound coming from the emergency light button section. Anyone have any experience with this? Video

You've got to love the RST chrome delete look, but some of us want the basic luxuries of an LTZ (Tech Package/ventilated seats/memory seating/HUD). (Similar to Laramies, Limited Tundras, etc.) I wonder if for 2026/27 we'll be able to get that as an option? Or an updated 5.3L? 400HP/425TQ? That would probably make the gas guzzling dinosaur 6.2 non existent According to PickupTruckPlusTalk, we'll see minor changes. https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2024/12/new-2025-truck-changes-and-2026-truck-debuts-what-to-expect/ Simple requests right? Maybe corporate doesn't care to cater?

Obviously get rid of cylinder deactivation. IMO in 2024, These engines are dinosaurs, with okay reliability at this point. Well, the 5.3L is tried & true, and definitely gets the job done, but is a little underwhelming. And the 6.2L is just a "flex", not really sure why. Mediocre at best. Not worth the upcharge, or the dreaded fuel economy. Duramax 3.0 is nice, boring but smooth. Too many older heads claiming no V8, no man card. But have most likely not given anything else a chance. Having driven the 3.5 Ecoboost (non-hybrid), this truck will definitely surprise you, i just hated the transmission tuning. Now even though still in the beginning stages, that Tundra 3.4L (Non-hybrid), with that smooth 10 speed is definitely a blast, you would be very surprised. Haven't been able to try that new ram hurricane yet. But everyone sleeping on anything with a 6 Cylinder with a turbo should go test drive one. I don't think GM or any other manufacture cares about our opinions when it comes to engines (we can always dream though right?), EPA calls the shots so why not work with it? GM should dump both V8's. Add a new engine with similar specs to rams new engine Inline 6 (no cylinder deactivation) 10 Speed (3.55 Gears are fine) 420 HP/500TQ 18MPG City/ 22 HWY (GM trucks are light this should be very realistic) 5 Year/100K Mile warranty I think that would make a lot of people happy

All i hear is lifter failure left and right lately. Is there no major class action lawsuit against this? Hopefully they issue a major fix on the 2025's?

Interesting to hear many people say GM seats are not that comfortable. Every reporter says Rams have the most comfortable seats. Older adults swear by Ford Seats. What about the Tundra? After plenty of seat time in these trucks, which would you say has the most comfortable leather seats?

Having owned an 07 Tundra 5.7 for 10 years, I'm wondering if Has anyone given the new Toyota Tundra Hybrid a shot? I'm wondering if this hybrid powertrain is all hype or if its worth it. Given that it takes the same 87 octane as the 5.3L i figured i'd compare Both have 10 speed tranny 5.3 vs Iforce Max HP 355 vs 437 (19% increase in horsepower) TQ 383 vs 583 (35% Increase in torque) Its a no brainer performance wise the tundra stomps on gm's 5.3. Is GM planning on updating their outdated engines soon?

Took it in last week for service and had them look into it. Tech stated it was completely normal and no TSB has been released about it.

Might be looking into adding another truck soon but i can’t find anywhere it mentions 1) heated & ventilated seats 2) Memory seats being included in the leather package or any package? can anyone confirm these for the LT trail boss?

I Find it interesting how the Silverado 2500's offer the Midnight/Sport Edition packages on the LTZ but not on the 1500's. Ram offers it on Laramies for both 1500/2500. Ford offers it on Lariats for both 1500/2500. Some of us would love a chrome delete on an LTZ. I Find the LTZ W Z71 to be the perfect mid tier truck in Chevy's lineup, just wondering why this isn't an option yet on LTZ trims? Has it ever been an option for buyers?

I am biased towards HD because my GMC Savana 2500 has a payload of 3250! Even at 3000lbs i don't worry about it at all! (i know i know, different league) But the few times i loaded up my 22 1500 CCSB with 1200+lbs (payload cap is i believe 1640 on mine) i feel like you actually have to pay much more attention to the weight of the load and what not (which is why i don't risk it anymore). These trucks seem to sag significantly in the rear once you get to about 1000lbs of payload. The average person doesn't use their truck to the actual capacities but if you're loading to within 75% of capacity pretty often than id rethink a 1500. They seem to be more so passenger/grocery getter vehicles. I still love the drive of it though!

Sometimes you want to just move the truck a couple feet, or into another parking spot for example. And these new trucks wont let you shift out of park without having the seat belt on. Just testing my luck but Is there anyway to remove/stop this feature?

IMO something more annoying would be that if i need to move the truck even an inch i have to get buckled up or it wont shift out of park. Unless there is a way to turn this safety feature off that i dont know about?

Thank you all for your help, much appreciated! So many choices, all seem solid! I went ahead and installed these IONIC 5" STAINLESS CURVED NERF BARS https://realtruck.com/p/ionic-5-stainless-curved-nerf-bars/ias-402299p/ So far really love the construction of them. Very sturdy and not as bulky (IMO) as some of the other ones on the market. Just ordered a Bakflip MX4 as well. (Hopefully install isn't too tedious). Will be posting pics of both as soon asap.

Picked up a Refreshed LTZ a few days ago. Seems like a lot of of the trucks are not coming without any running boards installed Anybody have any experience or recommendations on good quality running boards? Not really interested in the power boards, a little too expensive and not too sure on how reliable they are.

Hello everyone Been in the market for a Silverado 1500 LT or RST 4x4/5.3/10Spd/CC for a few months now, but cant convince myself to drop money on the LTD version with the 8 Speed. (too outdated IMO) It seems majority of dealers in SoCal are starting to receive the refreshed model, but are also charging markups. Do you guys think in the near future dealer inventory will ease off a bit and these numbers will become more competitive? Or does anyone know of a decent dealership/sales manager i can work with?

What happened to the 2021 Silverado 1500 LTZ 5.3 being available with the 10 speed? is that still the game plan or did that idea get scrapped? GM is stupid when it comes to making widely available to its customers.

Still shopping around for an SLT/5.3/4x4/Crew Cab/5.5FT Bed. The limited supply and high demand for SLT's isn't helping too much. Everywhere i look online, it seems there is a ton of Denali vehicles to choose from. I'm assuming nobody wants to buy one due to their $70,000 sticker. Why are the Denali's $8k+ over a fully loaded SLT? Doesn't that seem like overkill for the same truck with a little extra leather?

Have over 170k miles on my 11 Sierra 5.3, good truck. I’ve got tons of faith in GM but was wanting to upgrade to possibly a Ram Laramie or an LTZ/SLT, both gas, both 4x4. (Don’t need the 6.2L) i mainly test drove the the Ecodiesel due to the hype (turbo lag is horrendous), just seems like a headache waiting to happen but i know the 5.7/8 speed they offer is a great combo. any reasons in particular why some of you who shopped both chose the GM twins over the ram?
