I purchased a new 2020 Silverado 1500 LT 3.0 Diesel Shadow Gray and Off Road Diesel package 4x4 and looking to make it stand out more. With so many trucks on the road it blends in and does not stand out. I have it in the shop currently getting the following added: 1: Windows Tinted. 2: Paint Protection and Coating. 3: Dash Cam hardwired (Front and back). 4: Fog lights installed (this will be done on Tuesday and dealership). 5: Truck Bed Mat It has chrome and I was going to get it all blacked but wanted to look at wheels first. That way I can keep the chrome ones or sell them. I also drive a lot, which is why I got the diesel, and MPG is important to me though I am ok with loosing a few MPG but not much more than that. I will have $3000 left for my budget to upgrade the trucks looks but as this will be my first truck I have done this for I am at a lost of what I should aim for that will not destroy the MPG of the truck. Will lifting it the normal ~3 inches greatly effect MPG or towing. I know bigger tires effect MPG and I am fine with the tires on the truck now but was going to get some wheels that make the truck stand out. If I can get wheels/tires that actually look great and improve MPG that I would be willing to increase my budget on them. Mainly drive highway but will be going off road and down country dirt/gravel road some. What is your go to upgrades? I have watched youtube videos and read articles but most seem to be trying to sell something so I wanted actual testimonies from the people here.

Gas thieves is not my worry. I have had a previous truck vandalized and things poured into the gas tank. Luckily I discovered it before actually driving it and was since they slit the tires my insurance claim covered everything including the fuel tanks. This did not happen at home where it is garage kept. People are pricks and it could happen even at work or while shopping. Every few years I hear of a string of car vandals happening, usually teenagers, and putting sugar or something similar into gas tanks is one of the common things they do.
