  1. I read an article in Popular Mechanics a while back saying the starters in vehicles with auto start/ stop are beefed up to last for more cycles than standard starters but they didn't have any specifics that I can recall.
  2. Sounds like my brother is happy with his 2019 SLT 5.3 and would buy it again, though he would go to a different dealership. The one he went to didn't even give him his trailer hitch and they cheated his girlfriend out of her referral bonus.
  3. So you wouldn't get the 6.2 again because of fuel costs therefore you're looking at the TRX instead?
  4. The T1 owners are attempting to murder you for having the audacity to say that you like your truck better than theirs?
  5. If it rides fine, I would consider leaving it. The higher pressure will give you better fuel economy but it could also cause uneven wear on your tires.
  6. Depends heavily on the salesman, it seems. I almost bought a 2019 SLE from our local dealership and the salesman I talked to was really good other than trying to convince me that GM wouldn't be putting the 10 speed in the 2020s. Heck, he was willing to let me do an overnight test drive with a truck I told him I was definitely not buying. My boss also leased his personal truck and all our work trucks from them. However, my brother got a crappy salesman when he bought his 2019 SLT there and resolved never to go back. They refused to give his girlfriend the bonus or whatever it is for referring him and his truck didn't come with a trailer hitch, even though the SLT comes stock with the trailering package.
  7. "Fully loaded XLT" lol You can get a sliding rear window on a Silverado LT. Big whoop.
  8. Except for the leaking plastic oil pans, of course.
  9. How long ago did you replace the battery and how frequently do these issues occur, though?
  10. Aren't they better than the 8 speeds?
  11. https://www.cnet.com/health/7-face-mask-myths-debunked-what-to-know-about-coverings-covid-19-and-your-health/
  12. Maybe it's different in different regions but, in my opinion, wearing masks, social distancing, avoiding unnecessary outings, etc. is not intended to keep no one from ever getting sick. I still see it as flattening the curve to keep the number of hospitalizations below the number of available beds. I suspect your strategy of just opening everything up wide and going back to normal would result in a yo-yo between wide open and fully locked down. With things in a phased opening and people wearing masks and such, we can keep our lives more "steady" but without the rampant outbreaks we saw in March and couldn't manage. Admittedly, there are some people who will never get it. Every time my wife freaks out about "100 new cases in our province today", I ask how many in hospital and remind her that our health minister hasn't told us (and probably won't) how many beds are available but presumably she's watching those numbers and advising the premier accordingly. Whether he follows that advice is obviously another matter.
  13. I've been happy with my Phillips electric razors. Just have to take the heads apart and clean them whenever the shave isn't close enough any more.
  14. I heard that kids who get covid may not show the typical symptoms but some are getting some weird auto immune diseases after the fact. I heard the opposite. And whether you think it's true for covid or not, consider that medical science has proven for other viruses people are most contagious before they show any symptoms.
  15. But surely the Silverado tailgate is power locking? Why would you lose that?
  16. Actually, this was based on my wife looking at the list of ingredients on the toothpaste I used to use and saying "I've never heard of that type of fluoride." But I get your point.
  17. But Crest is better. Colgate uses some type of cheap fluoride that no dental specialist has ever heard of. Source: my dental hygienist wife.
  18. I thought most cargo light switches had 3 positions: off, on when door is open and on. Is that not the case with these trucks?
  19. Interesting choice to scrap the bench seat with no storage. Was that due to backlash or they realised it's a waste of money to have two different seats or are they hoping everyone who bought a 2019/2020 Custom gets into a 2021?
  20. Sure, lots of GMT-800s and 900s will go 150k miles but how many T1s or even K2s will?
  21. Yah, SR5 would be the equivalent to an LT. I was cross shopping a Tundra SR5 against an RST and an Elevation because I wanted bucket seats.
  22. Generally the most you'll get off MSRP on a Tundra is 12% vs 20% on a GM. Also, to be fair, the Tundra Platinum is probably closer to an SLT/LTZ or an F150 Lariat than a Denali/ High Country. So the MSRPs are closer than that would seem to show.
