Nice looking truck. Did you get the 5.3L V8? What rear end and tow package? What kind of deals rebates were you able to take advantage of. I bought mine 5 weeks ago and was very pleasantly surprised at all the discounts/rebates they were adding to the deal. Made buying a 2013 over a '14 much easier to swallow. Congrats, again.

Yes I have the 5.3L with 3.42 rear end. The tow package has the HD cooling and a trailer brake installed. The discounts and rebates are why I bought it. They totalled almost 10,000. I couldn't even think about a '14 even though that's what I was checking out when the salesman caught me!!

Nice truck! Could you post some interior pics?

 

And that front end needs the color matched end caps asap. :)

I'd like to color match the whole front bumper! I'll get interior pics ASAP. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4

 

If you paint just the front bumper, it will look like the 07-11. Maybe paint the inset part of the grill & lower valance surround black?

Maybe I am wrong & know most are color matching, just thinking if money is being spent, make it a little different.

That might look good! Gives me another option. I'm having a bed liner sprayed in right now!

Looks like I got the same truck. Your right about the rebates, couldn't pass up $13,500 off the sticker.

Mine is black leather on black. I really hate leather seats in the winter up here in Michigan.

How is your cab noise? Mine is in the shop for some door seal replacement right now. I have a 2014 crew for a loaner and it is very quite.

I wish I had leather. Mine is black cloth. I'm sure I could have got it added but I didn't think about it until later. Cab noise doesn't seem excessive. It's quieter than my 07 was. I do have a flapping noise around the windshield. They said they would take care of it at my next oil change. I'm happy with it so far.

Thank goodness GM jacked up the truck prices by $ 15k over the last 8 years or so, so now they can give you $10k off and make you feel like you getting a grreat deal!

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
