Nope. It's come with chrome grill and chrome headlight bezel. But I'm gonna change them out once it gets here.

 

That's how I got my HC grill...a 2015 Black HC owner swapped out the chrome HC grill for a black color matched one. I know you can't wait to get her and start the mods. But this way, you'll get the HC interior that you like...can't wait to see and watch your fun!

....the larger rear-end and 3.73 gears.

That's a good point regarding the rear end. You don't hear people mention it much only the increased engine power of the 6.2. Larger tougher rear end is definitely a plus. And with the 8 speed fuel economy is not far off from the 5.3 isn't it.

The physical size of both engines is exactly the same at 25.2" wide x 32.2" tall. What creates the larger displacement size is the bore. The bore of the L83 is 96.01mm where as the L86 is 103.25mm. Also, between the 5.3L crew cab/short box with max tow and 6.2L crew cab/short box with max tow the weight difference is 185lbs. For comparison the same configurations but with the standard bed (6'6") the weight difference is only 174lbs. I choose this configuration because both trucks will have the exact same drivetrain including the larger rear-end and 3.73 gears. In reality I have absolutely no clue what the difference in weight is between just the two engines but between the two trucks it's a very small difference of about 3%. Check out the two links below about each engine, it shows the materials used in the engine, horsepower & torque ratings, engine rpms and so on.

I just don't understand why you would get the 6.2 in the truck. Especially since the 5.3 can tow the same with 3.73 gears. It's not a race car since it's not aerodynamic nor is the gearing correct....to each his own I guess. I prefer the chance at better fuel millage

Got my 8mm billet wheel spacers today. Drinking wine after the work week though so they'll have to wait for install!

And what are you getting for mileage?! My 6.2 is averaging 18.5 back/forth to work. I've gotten 22 before on a 350 mile trip.
