Thanks! No camera tricks up my sleeve. I was definitely squatted out! Haha Luckily I'm only about 75 miles from home, and won't have the two full tanks of propane, firewood, charcoal, bottled water, cooler full of ice, etc that I had when I came. So I might be a couple hundred lbs lighter.

Happy Thanksgiving from Lake Lanier GA! Finally got to put my truck to the test, and towed a 32ft Grey Wolf travel trailer with my 5.3 Crew cab RST this week. The trailer weighs around 6300lbs, and I am using an EAZ lift weight distribution hitch. The truck definitely was working hard to pull, but still handled it well. This included myself and family in the truck (approx. 600lbs), and about 200lbs in the bed.

Yes, I have not really done much tailgating, so was not sure how people did it. I thought alot of folks just used a generator. Wouldn't that cause you to have to idle the engine for hours?? Not to mention, the exhaust fumes blowing into your tailgate area.

Ok cool. So then how would you manage keeping your battery from dying?

Wow, there are some serious power expectations out there for this highly desired outlet!! Instead of the additional cost of the Convenience II pkg..... what about something like this for around $75 shipped........ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082V5TC11/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B082V5TC11&pd_rd_w=6LcSo&pf_rd_p=54ed5474-54a8-4c7f-a88a-45f748d18166&pd_rd_wg=QfWfr&pf_rd_r=X879DR3XTYG9RX7SMSC5&pd_rd_r=00aa4062-9319-4cb3-b403-cb5645938dcf&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzRUwxRFozQ1RZR0NQJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTE0MzMxM0MzR1dJUllKTDk4VyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNDI3ODY1TTlNSFpFMkNaUDJKJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsX3RoZW1hdGljJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

Just bought my RST last week and came across this thread. I like the look of the chrome letters along with the factory emblems.

Thanks man. I am hoping that means I won't have some of the issues I have heard of with the DFM engines! The last few cars I have owned have taken me well over 200K worry free miles, and my current daily driver is a 2002 Honda Accord with 300k! Tires, brakes, oil changes.... let's ROLL!!

Just picked up my '21 last night! Cherry Red Crew Cab RST Z71, 5.3 with DFM delete, and bucket seats/center console. My first vehicle ever purchased brand new, so this is me for the next 10 years! Ahh that new ca...TRUCK smell! I might look at a bed cover and leveling kit soon. So, nobody told me about the dim interior lights haha!!

Is that the Shadow Gray or Northsky Blue? Either way, I'm jealous! That's sharp.

We had a pretty big thunderstorm last night, so I really couldn't get any pics. This is a quick shot I took this morning. I didn't even realize they changed from the Cajun Red to this Cherry Red for '21.

Well, after shopping around for the past few weeks, I was able to purchase a '21 Cherry Red Crew cab RST with the Z71 pkg. I just picked it up today.

Just curious... what led you to trade in your 2020 so soon?

Thanks for all the replies/advice everyone. At this point, I probably will just wait to see how this all turns out. I am really curious how they will rollout the 2022s, and how that will impact the remaining unsold 2021 inventory. If I just HAPPEN upon a decent deal, I will jump on it, but otherwise, I am thankfully not in any rush to purchase. I have to figure that everything will normalize eventually, if not by the end of this year, then early '22.
