I currently own a GMC, but the 2019 GMC would not be in my Garage! :sick:
Silverado looks so much better in the front, and tail lights.
These GMC tail lights remind me of the 2005-2012 Colorado/Canyon style.


If I ever bought a new body style it would be a modified GMC front end, just partial to GMC. You’re correct though, Chevy looks and has a much better looking front end.

Appears  there is still much uncertainty about rcsb. Members on GM Truck Talk- Inside news are reporting no rcsb for 19 and beyond.

Well Page 5 of the guide that Newdude has attached above clearly shows the dimensions of a rcsb.

I had a 1994 Silverado RCSB Z71 bought brand new.

Back then they were everywhere.

Times have changed....it is the age of Crew cabs.

There just are not many K2 RCSB's out there.

Not that i agree, but no wonder GM is dropping them.

Sales and interest just are not what there to justify future production.

But GM hasn't dropped them.  The Facebook group for T1 trucks from here has a shot of a GMC already somewhere.  There is pics of a RCSB Trail Boss around too.

Sorry guys.

Didnt mean dropping them as in discontinuing.

My dropping meant popularity and production numbers.

It would be curious to see sales numbers from about 2007-2018 on GM RCSB truck sales.

On the just released build and price silverado it says regular cab long bed only.

I noticed this too.  I'm rather confused now as gmupfitter.com still shows both regular cab standard and long box, and there are mules of standard box trucks. 

 

GMUpfitter even has full frame specs, overall length (210.7"), wheelbase (126.4"), etc. for a RCSB.  https://www.gmupfitter.com/files/media/photo/962/2019_R4B_NG_LD_FS_CK_PU_072018.pdf

 

If it truly does exist, I wonder if it is a late release or fleet only...

If you see a reg cab short bed on the lot it is usually gone pretty quick. Gm made sure there popularity went down by not making as many. Gm makes more money off the crew cab and double cabs compared to the regular cab. If they made more they would sell more.

My '94 was around 24K if memory serves me correct.

A comparably equipped 2018 is around the 40k mark for an LT package today.

I would not spend that for a Reg. Cab Short Bed

A recent search only yielded about 200 of them within a 500 mile radius.

This also includes Standard Bed Reg. Cabs..... so rare indeed they are!

My '17 LT2 RCSB was $44K and change.  no rebates them either.  I got about $5500 off with my dealer employee discount though

I just saw this one Facebook. I'm not sure if it's real or not because this one looks lowered so it may be photoshop.  But I think it looks really good from the front. The back is probably still hideous

Thats not actually true. I have 3 brand new RCSB trucks loaded as high as I could get them. There are 0 rebates on the regular cabs. Because there are so few of them GM doesn't need to offer rebates to move them and likely makes more profit on the ones they do make. I have paid close to sticker on each of them and had to travel close to a thousand miles to find one. 

It is possible if dealers stocked more, more might sell. About once a month someone says to me they didn't know GM even made RCSB any more.

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
