The HD trucks can be order with factory retractable running boards. I wonder why that’s not an option for us?

So you don’t like the noise you hear but you’re okay with annoying everyone else with this stupid horn?

The interior change will have no change in durability. It’s the same mechanically. The electronics get slightly more complicated so the 2021 may be better from that perspective as compared to a new interior that hasn’t been fielded yet. Get whichever you want. The 2021 will likely be the better price deal.

There aren't many AT options because a low profile AT tire on 22" wheels makes zero sense. 22" wheels usually get a street tire. There are many options for those.

If you're looking for the best tone I recommend routing and dumping the exhaust inside your cab. This will give you the best sound experience and also not annoy everybody else around you.

This is not normal. Take it to the dealer for troubleshooting.

My AT4 came with the GMP exhaust and I was nervous because I also prefer the quiet ride. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how quiet it is while cruising. I only hear it when I accelerate. I think I’ll keep it.

Don’t forget the truck nuts on the back to complete the look!

Yep. Perfect match right out of the GM box. Gives my truck a totally different look.

Have you tried eBay or Craigslist? Lots of good deals to be had there.

Your post doesn't make complete sense. 275/65R20 is the stock wheel size. That's a 33 inch tire. With a lift most people are looking to go to larger wheels - maybe 35". Some fit 35" tires without a lift at all. What's a 12 x 10? That sounds like a toddler bike wheel size or something. Do a search. There are tons of threads about different tire size options and lifts.

Nothing. Just like paint quality and thickness.

Yeah right. The EPA made GM use crappy paint and told them they could only use one coat. Lol. What’s the EPA requirement for orange peel? Because this is the first truck I’ve had in a while that doesn’t have any. But It’s my third truck with this new environmentally friendly paint. GM might not be in compliance.

The EPA made everybody switch to non-hazardous paints. They didn't make them paint it thinner. That's on the OEMs.

It has nothing to do with the EPA. It's purely on GM for using the cheapest, thinnest paint they can get away with. GM got smart and added the rock chip paint at the bottom of the fenders. Now they need to put something more resilient on the fronts where rock chips happen frequently.

I agree with your first sentence, but disagree with your second one. AUTO is great any time the roads are slick - light rain, heavy rain, snow, ice, gravel, etc. Usually the roads are slicker with light rain as all of the slime and oils have not yet washed away. And people usually try to drive "normal" when it's only a light rain, and more traction is needed when driving quicker on wet roads. In heavy rains people usually slow down due to poor visibility and ponding issues, so I find AUTO less needed (but I still use it). I usually use the pulling into traffic example when trying to determine if you need AUTO. If you need to turn right onto a busy street and then quickly accelerate, do you think you'll lose traction when driving normally? If so, then use AUTO.

Let’s see if this works. https://www.ebay.com/itm/84269333-Front-and-Rear-fender-Flare-Set-Summit-White-/353684594856?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

There haven’t been a lot. They come and go. I just save a search with alerts for the part number i needed. This deal came up and I snatched it. I’ll post a link to the seller.

eBay. $500 shipped. I agree. Especially for Denali and color matched trims. I can see having the gray plastic on lower trims. Maybe gray fits for the off road perception? But it definitely looks cleaner and better color matched.

Thanks. No. Not gonna paint the splash guards. That would be too hard to keep clean.

Well, I found a good deal on these so I pulled the trigger. They fit with the larger splash guards no problem. I think they look pretty good. They make the wheel wells look smaller and the stock tires look bigger. BEFORE: AFTER:

Does it point down when you're in reverse?

I know that that's what it stands for. I'm more interested in what Goodyear did to the tire to call it an LT but it still weighs the same as the Trail Runner and it's much lighter and less capable than other LT tires of the same size. Trail Runner 275/60R20 SL - 11/32" - 40 lbs - 2679 lbs Trail Runner LT275/65R20 - 12/32" - 50 lbs - 3750 lbs (E) Duratrac - 275/60R20 SL - 16/32" - 46 lbs - 2679 lbs Duratrac - LT275/65R20 - 18/32" - 57 lbs - 3750 lbs (E) Territory MT - LT265/60R20 - 15/32" - 42 lbs - 2335 lbs (C) The Territory specs are not typical of LT tires. In fact, the specs are lower than the other non-LT tires. That's my question.

The trail runners are a decent tire for what they are. They're very quiet on the highway and have decent traction in light conditions. What intrigues me me about the Territory MTs is that they're a light weight LT tire with better off road traction. I don't know why they are LT rated as their specs are similar to the SL rated Trail Runners. I'm really just curious as to how loud they are. I liked the Duratracs I had on my last truck, but they got very loud as they wore. I'd like to know what the LT means and how loud they get over time.

That sucks. Maybe wait a couple more weeks for stock to get built back up and prices will come down. I read someplace that GM's running board supplier was having supply chain problems and stopped delivering for a couple of months. The situation has been resolved and parts are starting to flow again.
