I'd go back to an F-150.

They have a teal shade as one of the SEO (Special Equipment Option) special paints. That's probably what it was. It's WA-5405 listed simply as 'Blue' (there are three different colors called 'Blue', in addition to Indigo Blue Metallic and Arrival Blue). Here's the order guide with a list of all the SEO paint colors. https://www.gmfleetorderguide.com/NASApp/domestic/proddesc.jsp?year=2021&vehicleID=22011&regionID=1&divisionID=1&regionID=1&section=col_trim&typeID=6&pagenum=&butID=3&page=9 The original post in this thread has a picture of a truck in the above mentioned color.

The talk of the town is that new powertrains are coming for '25 (model year '26) when the Silverado/Sierra get their next significant redesign. Lots of people seem to think the 5.3 will be dropped and replaced with a turbocharged V6 of some sort and the 6.2 will probably be the only V8 offered. Obviously, that's just talk at this point.

The problematic trucks are 2020 and 2021 model years. Seems a bad batch of parts. My '19 L84 had zero issues in 45,000 miles.

My truck will get mid 20s all day with the cruise set at 81/82 MPH. I concur that something is wrong with your truck. Take it to the dealer and have them look it over.

There isn't one. The only air filter life monitor is for the engine. I change mine at 22,500 miles per the GM recommendation in the owners manual. If I lived in a dusty climate or was working on construction sites, I'd probably change it more frequently.

$58k for a pre-refresh half-ton High Country with almost 100,000 miles on it. Will this madness ever end?!?

The leather is supposedly higher quality in the new trucks vs. the '22 LTD and older. Even for the lower trims. None have arrived in my area, so I can't confirm or deny.

That is also the case with the front heated/ventilated seats and front/rear park assist. The only thing that isn't retrofittable are the heated rear seats. If you don't get them, you don't get them. That's also why the credit is $250 for heated rear seat delete vs. $25/$50 for the wheel and parking sensors.

A 20 or so bump in horsepower and torque would be nice. Especially on the 5.3L. Also, making the 10L90 standard across the board would be a welcomed change.

That's a shame. It's a small detail that you don't realize how often you use until you don't have it anymore. Sharp truck though. GM really knocked these new interiors out of the park.

That new dash is real tempting. No... stay strong, Jeff. You promised the wife the Denali was going to stick around for a while!

My '19 L84 had almost 50,000 miles on it without any issues when I traded it in. However, it seems to issues are more common in the '20 and '21 trucks for whatever reason (bad batch of parts?).

If you can get a Yukon for MSRP without a markup, you're doing well. Especially if it's an AT4 or Denali.

The front seats and steering wheel include later retrofit, FWIW.

I had 48,500 on my previous '19 5.3/8L90 with zero issues.

Most dealers are doing MSRP - rebates. Right now the only rebate on Silverados is $750 if you own a Ford, Ram, Toyota pickup. Sierras have $250 for financing with GMF, $550 rebate, and $500 if you own or lease a Buck/GMC. Both trucks have 0% for 4 years. We have a couple of dealers trying to charge a market adjustment, but most aren't.

Keep a rag on you to wipe up inside the fuel door. No matter how hard I try, I can never seem to add DEF without some of it spilling. Doesn't matter if it's Delco or BlueDEF, ****** gets everywhere and leaves a nasty white residue.

Same thing in NC. Not a top tier diesel station to be found.

Same here, although our dealer has some Sierras too (or did).

Here in NC, most dealers are MSRP - whatever rebates GM is currently running. Very few have any sort of markup (outside of the usual BS like tint, nitrogen tires, paint protection, etc). Maybe that will change with the refresh, but I doubt it, as they are having trouble keeping the current truck on the lots.

Mine is garaged and I live in NC, so absolutely zero need to plug it in. I can't imagine it's significantly colder in AR than here.

Anything you buy right now, whether it be a GMT800 or another T1XX, is going to be inflated in price. Buying out your lease is the right call IMO.

https://www.costcoauto.com/new_cars/ Built a 2022 Denali Ultimate LM2 and it's about $10k more than my '21 MSRP vs. MSRP and that's not including the LPO wheels which I couldn't add on the '22 refresh. So there's another $3k or so.

It'll say 'CREDIT - NOT EQUIPPED WITH DYNAMIC FUEL MANAGEMENT - $50' in the options section of your window sticker.
