Nobody has them around here! Most of what's out around town are crew cabs.

I found mine at a dealer. They had three, two Chevy's and the GMC I bought. They are hard to find until you get one, then they start coming out of the wood work. There are 15 around me know, including one that's identical to mine (other than mines lowered).

The regular cabs come with the standard bed.

275/55r20's are a stock size. My truck two posts up has them. It's lowered 2/5. 

 

 

Thanks!  I thought yours might be that size, but I wasn't sure.

 

I can't find many to look at even online.

It all depends on where you are, I see a lot of them in North Georgia, Alabama and Texas....but not as many in other places.

 

With the 2019 and 20's not being available in this setup they are getting more rare.

In my mind, "short bed" is 6". I'm old school like that.

What are you planning?

I am awaiting a turbo kit release from Huron Speed with Comp oilless turbos. She is going down on a 2-4” kit. It is my daily and I can’t go too low. I want a little rake. Gonna change to coil overs up front. I will probably start building a separate forged motor at some point. Probably gonna stay with 20” rims seems like better tire options and she will need traction. Hellwig front and and rear sway bars are ordered. Chevy performance front brakes incoming. Scheduled for ceramic coating. Deciding on some different looks and things at the moment before ceramic coating. I was told nothing stick to the coating so it need all that worked out before my appointment. I wont install some things till spring as I have to deal with winter here. I am very disappointed Chevy discontinued this truck in the U.S. I had 2020 F150 ordered but decided to get this instead. It had to be the right one. I searched hard. This truck is clean as they come.

Really want to lower mine but I use it too much as a work truck.

Sweet holy moses I dig your truck!!! I have a very similar one. The High Country grille looks fantastic! I wanted to do that for a long time on mine, it's still on the "maybe one day" list of mods....

 

I was also torn between lowering, and functionality as a truck. In the end I just went with a 2" rear shackle drop to take out some of the extreme rake. 

 

Any plans to paint the top bumper strip?

 

Edit: More photos in this thread never hurts. Here's how it sits with the 2" rear drop. I've since removed the plastidip from the wheels, since I got a brand new one as part of an accident repair.

Thanks man I appreciate that. As of now no plans really on painting anything, if I could find a bumper cap that was already painted for cheap I would swap it out, but once you start color matching, you might as well do it all. I have been on the fence about lowering for a while, if I do it, Im all in for like a 5/7 or something, but like you said I will loose some functionality.

      2021 suburban RST - acting up/lights flickering

      By 520Zilla · Posted

      Hi all,   I just bought a 2021 suburban RST with 88,000 miles on it and everything has been good but I’ve been noticing within the last month or so that there are small electrical things going on and I know what the AGM batteries and all the electric electrical in these big trucks you need to have a constant flow with good voltage   That being said, I bought a new battery thinking that that might have something to do with it but today I went to get in and start it and it said no key found when I had the key right in my pocket   It also proceeded to flash the lights inside and outside for over 30 minutes as I went to disconnect the battery as soon as I touch the negative terminal, I heard the relay reset and everything come back up. I got in the truck and started it no problem.   Anyone else have this happen to them? I’m starting to think it’s the KARR system that the dealer installed short circuit stuff.

      “Service Emission System” & “175 miles until “65 MPH Max Speed”

      By ManyCamaroz · Posted

      I don't drive this truck on a regular basis since I have a new company truck with no out of pocket fuel or maintenance cost. Yesterday I got it out to run some errands and got the title message on my DCI. A quick Google search suggested to first clean the Map Sensor. I pulled it out and it was sooty so cleaned it up and reinstalled it. Issue not resolved. My OBDII is a couple years old so didn't see any codes. Today I took it to a friend at AutoZone to get him to check it with his reader. It had the following codes: P20C3 P02BB P221F Stating the most likely solution is to replace diesel emission fluid (DEF) tank assembly.   So, I guess a trip to the dealer is necessary. I read where there was a backorder on these tank assemblies several years ago so hope that has been resolved.

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well.

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.
