So far so good. Picked it up on Friday. Comfortable ride, drives nice. There is more leg room in the back seat than my ‘14 crew cab LTZ 1500 or ‘15 crew cab High Country 2500. Truck is 3 inches wider than the previous model too. Sunroof is also wider in proportion to the cab width. I have a few hundred miles on it and am seeing pretty good numbers. I’ve got nothing but compliments everywhere I’ve gone. 

 

2019 Chevy TrailBoss 

5.3 Motor

16.5 around town, 21 on the highway @ 70 mph. Not bad considering the OEM 2” lift and off road tires.

Nice truck, I'll probably be getting one like this in a few months... I have a question for you, In the row of switches under your HVAC controls ( auto stop start, bed light, parking sensors, hazards, ect,) do you know if the 2 black buttons with no markings on the left and right sides have a purpose?

This is the first time in awhile that I've prefered the look of a Chevy over a GMC. Outside of the AT4 the 2019 GMC's haven't done much for me. It will be nice to see a volume of GMC models and colors now that the Chevy cat is out of the bag. 

 

The black Trailboss is probably my favorite looking pickup right now with the High Country in any color a close 2nd or 3rd.

Yes, that is actually where the trailer brake controls are now.

I'm not OP but the Duratrac is LT275/65/18 C load. 

Correct, LT 275/65/18. They could be a bit bigger in my opinion.

wow that looks pretty sharp. Does Trail Boss come with the 6 or 8 speed?

 

How is the trans? Clunky or smooth lol.

8 speed I believe, it’s very smooth. Nice acceleration.

Agree I think a 275/70 would be a bit better and would be a way more true 33" tire.

Are your Mirrors Power folding?

No, power mirrors, leather seats and park assist are the only options this does not have that my High County did.

GM said it was set up to fit a 33" tire stock. I and a lot of others assumed they would come from the factory with 33's but it looks like that's something you have to do on your own. I'm guessing they stuck with the slightly smaller tires for fuel economy reasons since the truck has an EPA fuel economy rating separate from the rest of the 2019 lineup.

Just wish the 6.2 was an option on the TB

The 6.2 is an option on the Sierra AT4

That is the first Trail Boss I have seen in Black, and it looks really good. Good thing it is lifted a little bit considering you live near Pittsburgh. I know I certainly don't miss driving on those roads.

      Clunk when coming to a stop... driveshaft/slip yoke? Mechanic couldn't recreate it

      By mrbflat · Posted

      I do have the 8 speed.  Interestingly enough, after driving my truck for the past 2 days now, I have not had the clunking issue at all!  I am beginning to think it may have been suspension/leaf spring related, and somehow when the shop put my truck on the lift to do their initial inspection, it relieved some built up tension/pressure that was causing my problem.  I swear it felt I was a bull rider on a bucking bull the way the truck would almost rock back and forth slightly before the big thud/clunk when coming to a stop.  I am hoping I got lucky here and it's gone for good.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Pryme · Posted

      Bring it to discount tire. They do free rotations even if you didn’t buy your tires there. I didn’t believe it until I tried and they did. You can tip the employee if you would like

      Best part of this video is how it resets expectations. Wonderfully done piece. It also made clear a few points I've made from day one. Detergent oils DO NOT KEEP A MOTOR CLEAN at the recommended or longer change intervals. They just get dirty slower than a non-detergent oil and there isn't spits difference between them on this point if they carry the DEXOS license. Great thing about the license that gets missed is it assures CONFORMITY even it that means a low bar.    One thing he did not talk about that I paused on an magnified was the condition of the oil ring separator. Besides a stuck ring a plugged separator and land drain back is huge when it comes control. We see in short order improvement in control IF that is the problem.    Another item I took exception to and he did not make plain was the condition of the timing chest and under valve cover having something to do with indicating piston cleanliness. Schaeffer's Oil makes that same omission in their million mile Ford video. I'm guessing he has never torn down a Red Line HP, AMSOIL SS motor that has been on that diet from the get. What he showed in the video was a good deal of varnish. Something totally absent in Peppers 165K cover off look. I smiled because he did his at the same milage.    He also makes the mistake of assuming oil temperatures in the pan are the temperature all over the motor even though he makes note of the piston being the hottest part of the engine. that baffled me a bit.    I can tell you from personal experience and witnessing teardowns of family motors that even oils of the 1960's would keep them squeaky clean when OCI's were 1500 to 2000 miles without exception. At 3K and above you get what he experienced and the longer you leave it the quicker to gets to the junkyard.    I think his is missing a opportunity not tearing it down again when he's done killing it. Time would be his only cost.

      GM discontinuing interior parts on a 5YO vehicle??

      By Z45 · Posted

      Very often the part number on the trim part is just for the vendor order/assembly plant and will not show up in the parts system.  They won't make a bunch of extra parts that were not ordered. Keep in mind, lots of these parts were made to be "just in time" parts meaning they were dedicated to a vehicles ordered and sequenced for assembly.       Also, trim parts will often say, paint to match.
