Yeah I would not change your blackout theme, those look amazing. Black and chrome makes for a really handsome, classy truck, and I generally don't like completely color matched trucks, but the new Silverado does look really sinister when it is color matched - especially black. The midnight editions are awesome looking trucks. They had a regular cab midnight edition at our dealer. I was tempted to get it because of how awesome it would look lowered as a sport truck, BUT we've got too much family and things to haul.

 

I swore up and down that my new truck was going to have chrome front and rear. I preferred it over the color matched front end, but like you, I ended up with a good deal on a midnight edition so there's not a spec of chrome on the thing.. go figure. The painted front has grown on me. Chipping is my main concern, so right away I had it X-PEL filmed.

your Midnight Edition didn't come with the chrome inserts on the grille? Mine did and I love the contrast.

Nope.. 2017 Midnight editions are completely blacked out. Definitely a cool looking truck IMO.. I added the black GM running boards to keep the theme,

This bad boy launched from the dealership today! 5.3L LT All Star Z71 with Leather and Bose, trailer package. Leased truck so no mods.

I had a green 15, lease expired today, was a great truck, but time to switch.

I think the refreshed front end looks best in solid dark colors. First black vehicle I've owned and I'm SS age.

 

Lurking in the background is a Grand Sport Carbon 65, nice car!

looks good. NO Mods means more money to play with $$$$.

I'm wondering if this differs by area, or if the "midnight" package may vary by trim level/model.

 

I'm looking at the sticker for a 2017 2500 LTZ Z71. The first item under "Midnight Edition" states: Grille, body color with chrome bars." Having seen a photo of this truck, the grille is definitely black with chrome bars running across. It is similar (but not the same) the "redline edition" grille shown a few post back.

 

It also has black tubular running boards, although there is no mention of them anywhere on the sticker. Odd.

 

Just realized the sticker also indicates chrome body side moldings. While this seems to be overridden by the midnight edition package, there is no indication of that on the sticker.

Keep in mind if you are looking at a 2500, they have a different grille and i would suspect a few different options than the 1500...however...the LTZ package has the chrome trim (body molding) that you are seeing on the sticker...the midnight package overrides that though...the '15 and older 1500 midnight editions have chrome bars on the grill, as i believe that is the same/similar look for the 2500...but i have not shopped for the 2500 at all...the running boards are 99% chance a dealer add on and not from the factory...

    • 2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!
    • 2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.  
    • Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra. 
    • I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.
