Ryan, do you really need the giant toolbox? If not, you could probably fit the stuff you had hanging out back on the hitch safely in the bed.

Yeah a toolbox would look big in a short bed.

 

Had a buddy come up from California, and he had never been to Wyoming, so I showed him around. Ol' Clyde did fantastic, getting 21 mpg over ~600 miles, with idling, city driving, highway driving, and interstate driving. I'd say the AFM and the ethanol free premium are a dynamite combo.

 

Did some wandering the past week beforehand. I really like the scenery around here.

It doesn't protrude from the cap rails much, like mine isn't a low profile, Ryan's is. His doesn't have a tall upper portion like mine. Here's mine for comparison:

See how tall the upper portion is above the rails compared to Ryan's?

I almost ran the Range Rover into the gate. My score with that thing is 1 hit and 1 close call

Eh. Unless you're in the Jackson or Star Valley area.. you can't get out of boring ol Wyoming fast enough. It's like driving thru Kansas... At least Kansas is greener though.

Sunday/Monday installed some LED bars/pods. Lights up real nice when I put it in reverse now.

Today

Dropped it off at the dealer since the fuel filter ran dry again. Maybe they'll figure it out this time.

At least this time they gave me something that slightly resembles a truck. Be nice if they'd give you something even close to comparable to what you're getting fixed. The Beast weighs more than this tiny thing's gvwr lol. Still better than that Encore they gave me last month. Interesting how even though this has a v6 the estimated miles for the tank arevabout half of what mine shows with a full tank. I'll have to check and see what it shows after I've driven it for a while. Probably doesn't have enough drive time on it to be anywhere near accurate.

It's a loaner, probably treated like a rental. It might have a "stroke" if you drive it normal.

Loaner yes, but I'm assuming I'm the first real driver since it had 7 miles and 1.1 engine hours. I did figure out it has an auto lock/unlock tailgate. I don't do vehicle break in periods so... Yeah :-D. Won't be stupid with it but I'm not going to baby it, I don't baby mine sure as hell not going to baby this.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
