Much appreciated. All of the little things added up to make it just how I wanted. Started with black mirror caps, 15% tint all around and 85% on the full windshield. Then swapped to LED reverse and license plate lights, added a Bakflip MX4, some steps for the Mrs, wheels, blackout and shackles.
I think I'm done tinkering with it. Promised my wife I'd keep it 3 years. We'll see ?
I'm limited to how much I can post. Probably due to new account.
Here's a little better pic.
I actually got these for a steal since they were taking up space in the parts department ?
They weren't my favorite to begin with, but have grown on me.
Edit - I have 2858 miles on it currently.
I've really been enjoying it. It's just the perfect truck for me. The only thing I tow is a little Jayco 3500lbs loaded. I used a 2007 Trailblazer to pull it at first. Then I bought a 2013 Avalanche.
Compared to the old 5.3L, this truck is a fuel efficient rocket to me.
Looking back at my Fuelly - I averaged 12.3mpg on the Avalanche over 17k miles and a best tank of 17.2mpg.
This truck average is 17.8mpg and best of 19.9mpg
I know the real world economy on this truck isn't miles ahead of the current 5.3L though. I just enjoy the turbo noises honestly.
It being a new engine was actually one of my decisions to purchase. I've been selling GM vehicles since 2012 and wanted to get a first hand experience on what they're telling us will be more popular moving forward.
Since I bought mine, I've sold 3 more like it. The pricing helps too.
1st post here. Hope I get the attachment right!
Bought my '20 LT Texas Edition 2.7T back in October. The Trail Boss has always been my favorite, just wasn't in my budget. I started by making my truck a bit of a "tribute" by blacking out all the chrome. Swapped the 17" stocks to some 20". Vinyl wrapped the grille and powder coated the bumpers. Then I leveled it with 2" drop shackles. I'm happy with it!
