"They build what sells."
OR
They build what dealers order and maximizes profits.....and people buy what are on the lots.
I have run into a "lot" of people that had no idea you could still buy a regular cab because there are none on the lots for people to see that aren't long bed work trucks.
But anyway.....not to get off topic.
I just hope they still make them in the new model.
I sure hope there is a place for a regular cab short bed in their plans.
I love my '22 and '16. I hope they continue to make them available in the states.
Here in the last year or so I have seen more and more people talking about them and buying them again....good sign!
It will be interesting to see if they go back to the square wheel wells again.
I have gotten more used to it than I was at first, but I would be all for going squared off again.
I decided to try the 3 inch Race Ramps and use a step stool to refill it.
I think that will do that trick and just leave it on the ramps the whole time.
I don't think you were the only one to be confused by the way I worded it......those words are very similar.
I think a step stool for adding the oil is a great idea!
The oil filler tube on these trucks is way back from the front of the truck when they are on ramps.
I hardly think at 5' 11" 145 pounds that's my problem...lol
I just like a little room to move under there, I have used ramps for oil changes since I was 16 years old.
I can get the oil filter off easy enough, but the oil plug is almost in the center of the truck and I don't have enough clearance to reach it without raising the truck some.
You might have a good point about the ramps!
I use the Race Ramps 10 inch version....maybe I could get by with less.

I can't get to the oil plug without the ramps or I wouldn't use them at all....would be a lot simpler without them.
The oil cap is really far back on the new truck, it is a long reach even without it being on ramps.
I have a 2022 4WD Silverado that I am fixing to do the first oil change on and I need to know if I have to put the transfer case into neutral to roll it off the ramps?
The truck is too tall to reach the oil filler until I back it off the ramps...on my 2WD 2016 I just turn the ignition to accessory then put the shifter in neutral and roll off.....can I do that in the 4WD or will I need to put the transfer case in neutral as well?
Thanks!
