Looks like the rugged terrain and AT had a baby. Ridges between outside lugs and rock ejectors.

Also very similar to general grabber at2, only with more sidewall protection.

Yep, I noticed those similarities too. Good eye. I've heard good things about the new rugged terrain and the grabber AT2 (especially in the snow) so hopefully this will be a winner. I really like the looks, and the added sidewall protection. I've had good luck with BFG's in the past, but the old design was looking a bit dated.

 

Ordered mine last week. Not expecting them until nov. Nice to finally have a Lt 275/55/20 option

Very cool. And you're going to post when when you get them, right???

It looks like the new version will be better in the snow. Should have better tread life than the generals too. The lack of selection of LT tires is a lot of the reason I traded my 20's.

I love the performance of the KO's, but the lifespan has always sucked for me. Did good to get 25,000 miles out of last set I owned on previous truck. Some Game Wardens who are running Cooper's ATP told me they get at min 55,000 miles out of them. Only reason I went with Cooper this go around and not my beloved KO's. While they are darn good tires I don't want to spend the money on two sets of tires when one set will last twice as long

Looks good. Can't say I'm surprised that they're giving the tire a "facelift." A lot of tires on the market these days are big into the whole sidewall thing.

 

BFGs probably perform better than most of the other ATs out there, but I imagine a lot of people might think they're "old school cool" for 70s-90s project vehicles.

 

TBH I've been chewing on the new Toyo open country RTs. I may have to take a look at this when they come into stock at the tire places around here though.

 

My thought is though, with a lot of new "big" trucks coming out, the larger tread chunks might look less out of place from a cosmetic standpoint over the BFG.

 

I look forward to seeing this on peoples trucks though! I need to save for rims before I worry about a tire, so these'll be out before I buy for sure.

I had BFG All-Terrain T/As on my old 98 Silverado. The only problems was that the rain grooves weren't wide enough so it didn't take long for mud or snow to get stuck in them and be basically a slick instead of being self cleaning. The new tread looks more aggressive so I wonder how well it will do on asphalt. Maybe this new All-Terrain tire will be the next tires I get when the stock tires wear out.

      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.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
