Out of curiosity what kind of hit did you take on mpg with that 6.2 with the leveling, wheels, and tires?

Not really sure, dealer installed it all. I get about 18 all around average and about 15.5-16 pulling my boat

Just traded in my '16 double cab LT 4x4 for this truck. I know it sounds stupid but I've been trying to reduce expenses lately and a 2wd RCSB is quite a bit cheaper than my 2016.

 

It's a 2014 RCSB 4.3 2wd. I'm guessing it was a base model WT.

 

So far I've removed the front and rear Rally Package stripe kit, and removed all the 4.3 stickers on the hood and the 4.3 badge on the tailgate.

 

I've added an Extang tonneau, a GM rubber bed mat, the black front and rear Chevy bowtie, and the floor mats and rear fender liners that I took off my 2016 when I traded it in.

 

It has a set of 17" Torq-Thrust style wheels that are a little small for my taste so I'll be ordering some 22" wheels soon. I'd go 24" for the better look but the roads are terrible up here. Also dropping the rear 1" or 2" once the wheels are on and I can see how it looks. Not touching the front, that rubber airdam already scrapes occassionally. It's also getting front windows tinted this week. Not legal in NH but love the way it looks, I'll take my chances on the $40 ticket.

 

 

 

First pic is how I found it on the lot at the dealer the day after it was traded.

Second and third pics are how it is this morning after removing stripes and decals last night.

It is funny you did that. I traded that truck in for a double cab for more room Ian. LOL

That's a sweet color. Nice truck!

 

My last 2 Chevy's and the Tacoma I had before that we're all extended cabs and I never used the space. I saw yours when you guys came in to look around because it still had plates on it. The a couple days later I went to look at an F150 reg cab they had used but saw yours in the back of the lot with no plates this time! I knew I was buying it, it was exactly what I was looking for.

    • What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.
    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
