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!

 

I will not spend anything on a 4 door. I had no issues dropping $44,000 for my RCSB Sierra with the options I required. I would have dropped $55,000 if they would have made me a RCSB Denali. Heck, I would have spent $70,000 for a 6.2L 4x4 Denail RCSB. I will not buy any new truck that isn't a RCSB the minute they stop making them is the minute I never buy another new truck. Thats just me... I hate 4 door trucks. I dont need and dont want 4 doors. 

 

Your search included V6 long beds.... find loaded ones. Typically one in a 500 mile radius.

I’m with you on the loaded rcsb. I have owned a number of them over the years. If gmc would build a rcsb at4 6.2 i think i would have no choice but to own one.

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

It's frustrating when you have a want, and cash in hand, but nobody to take it, eh?

 

For $70k though, you could probably pay somebody to do a Denali conversion of sorts, and get most of the Denali Features, or at least get a 6.2L swapped under the hood.

I could do the swap myself. I strongly considered it. I am going to super charge the 5.3 instead and not spend the money. if GM built it I could finance it. If I have to built it, it takes cash.

The GM Upfitter website still shows a RCSB but the drawings and schematics have "Not for public release" plastered over them. Makes me wonder if a decision to drop that model was made.

I think a very limited consumer interest and zero corporate interest killed the rcsb at GM. Ram is in change over mode for 19 so none their this year so I have been told. Pretty sure Ford is the only game in town for rcsb for 19.

I doubt that. It's almost like the drawings were supposed to be removed/redacted like when you see a classified government document released covered in black ink.

I agree with ya, always loved the look of the rcsb trucks, however I do like having a little bit of storage space in the rear, so I've always gone with extended cabs.  I just don't understand the obsession with people driving the four door trucks, I always see one person a nobody riding with them.  Maybe they are just working and dont have family with them at the moment, but I know it usually is just myself and gf or occasionally might have a friend ride along but its short distance where the extended cab is fine.

many times with rebates you could get a double cab as cheap or cheaper than a rcsb equipped with the limited options offered. Then as we all know most everyone buying new wants at least a double cab at the very least for the xtra seating capacity and or storage . The secondary market also is demanding basically the same . It all helps keep ''trade in'' or resale value higher. Marketing and buying trends left the rcsb with a very small hand to play in a game stacked against it sadly.

I put bed covers on them. That way suitcases, bags tools and whatever fit in the bed. Not for everyone but works great for me. Ben driving RCSBs for 20+ years. I'm just use to it.

Sorry to bring back  a old thread but .

Just found this thread. What makes me laugh more and more is when i go into lumber yard, where you have to have a Contractor account and even big box stores and you see people who are obviously contractors or work on my Industry and loading plywood into there so called truck and it sticks  3 foot past the bed or a ladder laying on the tailgate and roof of a BRAND NEW  DOUBLE CAB TRUCK. They obviously bought what they wanted not what they needed. 

I had to drive  70 miles to a Stealership in the middle of no place Indiana too get my  2020 Silverado Reg cab long bed. The trucks on the lots here are all  Feet type steel wheels , Crank windows and so on.  Mine has about all the options you can get in a WT Truck and cost more then some of the Custom  double cab trucks.    

I would never buy a Pickup truck without a  8 foot bed. ohh and its 8ft 2 inches  by the way. Lots of storage room behind the seats as well. 

I call it my Silver Unicorn truck because i have only seen one other in my area on the road.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      No doubt... But, as someone who doesn't pay for his services, but who has provided a few views/clicks on his Youtube platform, the data around the Mobil oil testing I think does have some value including to "freeloaders" like me.   A lot of what he's doing is likely showing the OE's work in their oil selection, something that many of us had kind of assumed was true all along, a good balance of both excellent protection and efficiency.

      Lake Speed is drumming up business for his company just by being in the spot-light so he has a vested interest in stoking the 0W-20 fire.  IMO

      I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas.

      I agree with this assessment. As you know I’m testing longevity with vehicles for the first time. I have a few vehicles I passed to kids and grandkids. We’re all past 100K miles some approaching 170K. I’m the only one doing 5k oil changes. The rest whatever the minder says. I’m the only one doing frequent transmission service. My odyssey the trip vehicle at 200K will be finished as a trip vehicle. I recently changed to high mileage oil, Valvoline. I can’t get past the fact that all manufacturers want to claim long service life. I just don’t make sense that they would go with low weight oil for mileage. While sacrificing longevity.

      There's absolutely a mountain of profit in catering to the "I do my own research" crowd, people who are certain they know better. And I don't mean there isn't data to support that 0w40 produces less wear product than 0w20 in an engine like the 3.0 Duramax, that only feeds them the assurance they need. Again, my whole thing with oil selection is, sure, 0w40 or 0w30 produces less wear product. Are we talking the difference between the engine lasting only 100k versus 200k? Or are we talking more like, if the engine will already go 350k on a good 0w20 regimen recommended by the OE, is using 0w40 going to get us to 355k, assuming we can even get the rest of the truck to last that long, meanwhile sacrificing the first 5y, 100k in powertrain warranty. The answer isn't easy, there are tradeoffs.   I willfully use 0w20 Dexos D for this reason, knowing that a 0w40 will produce slightly less wear. I don't believe the delta in wear product is meaningful over the lifetime of the engine, and I place much more importance on driving style and overall feeding and care of the engine as a whole. It's the mentality that someone can abstain from alcohol their whole life which is an amazing boost to health by itself, theoretically. But if they're sedentary, that lifestyle choice will most likely kill them young despite their other, concerted efforts. Maybe someone doesn't drink AND they are the perfect picture of health and activity AND they use 0w40 AND they treat their engine perfectly. If living until 130 years is the goal, sure, do that. But it's going to be a really old truck falling apart around a good engine for that last 30 years, without a doubt.   I watched Demonworks' other video on the 100k+ 3.0 Duramax that had dealer 0w20 changes on what appears to be OLM-prescribed intervals (8-10k).   The QR codes are still present and readable on the main bearings. That's how little wear it has.   That's not proof that anyone else should stick to 0w20, but it's confirmation, for me, that 0w20 is perfectly acceptable to use in these engines.
