I have owned many and would like to own another but between having a wife and kids and the massive rebates/discounts on a crew i just can't justify the high cost of todays regular cab trucks. A loaded Z71 gets well into the 40s.

 

By the way yours looks nice. Jealous.

 

You're right, the regular cabs are expensive as compared to what you can buy an extended cab for. I wanted a double cab, but it would barely fit in my garage and I wasn't going back to parking outside so I went with an regular cab LT.

Looking good. I park in the garage too. My crew/short has 6 inches to spare in the garage. A single cab would fit much better! My last single cab was an 09 and loaded 5.3 LT 2wd. The dealer offered me a basic 5.3 2wd LT crew for the exact same money.

I have a Double Cab, and would never buy a Regular Cab for a daily driver, but some of Regular Cabs do look really nice. They are the only variant that looks good lowered to me, both the current one's and the older C-10's. There's nothing like a Chevy low rider pickup done right.

I had a hard time finding a RCSB The Lots are Loaded with 4 doors. Maybe I'm old school, I prefer 2 doors.

That would be something interesting to find out, the ratio of single cabs to crews. I'd bet it is 500 to 1 at least. I'm with you but life just won't allow me to own a single cab right now. Edited by smrr1

They remind me of a smart car.. Even the double cabs confuse me with 4 doors. Just can't seem to get in to them

Here's mine. This blue seems to be a popular colour for the shorty's.

Good looking trucks guys! Don't see them as much these days.

 

I would have a RC if it wasn't for the wife and kids, I use my rig for mostly long trips towing the trailer with the whole family.

Blue was my first choice when I bought my '14 RCSB, but there were none to be found within 300 miles of the dealers I shopped.

 

And to date I've never seen one in person.

    • HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.      
    • I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it. 
    • So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29. 
    • Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.      
    • I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
