Part of this I feel is the amount of options you can buy these trucks. Mine is only an LT so doesn’t have alot of the options like an LTZ or a High country would so that may help my case down the road.
Fingers crossed, my truck has been great so far in my almost 3 years of ownership. Only things that have been issues have been a few TPMS sensors (covered under warranty) and a $300 loose ground connection that messed with the Stabilitrak(could have been covered under warranty but dealer by me couldn’t fit me in for an appointment and needed it done quick)
I have been religious with oil and fluid changes and also undercoated the frame this past summer to save it from the rust. Hoping thats enough to get a solid 15+ years/250K out of it.
Does anyone see these trucks approaching classic status the way that say the GMT400s and 800s have begun to be regarded as recently? Granted, these trucks will be more tech heavy then those were, but I’m curious as to what everyone thinks about the future status of these trucks. I have a 17 Silverado with 83k and I plan on keeping it till the wheels fall off the same way many have kept their 400s and 800s. Hoping that will be a possibility
I see a lot of comparing the different generations and the feeling I get is that the GMT800s seem to be the standard of which the newer generations are compared to in terms of reliability and build quality. So even though the 800s are close to 20 years old, how do you think they stack up to the k2xx generations? Do you think they'll have a similar longevity and reliability?
