As long as they are not Method wheels you are find.  99 our of 100 trucks in Orange County have Methods.  I think they only make one style in three colors.  LOL.

I live in Minnesota not to many method wheels up here. Fuel Mavericks are everywhere up here haha.

Every 4Runner, Tacoma, or wanna be Overlander here in Houston has Methods, usually that Bronze color.  Not a bad looking wheel, but  I see a lot of them.

 

Moto Metal and Fuel's are big on the Silverado's around here as well.

Precisely why I stay on stockers.

Yall are way too concerned with what majority has or doesn't have on the road. Lol Frankly I see a lot of stock silver and a lot black, lots of methods, and lots of fuels, etc.. etc.. idg a ****** what people have, I'm only concerned with what I think looks good on my vehicle.

 

Personally, I like black rims typically and bronze when it works. and methods are great wheels and some fuel wheels.. I don't like stock, silver look. But again, that's my opinion and to each their own. You gotta like what you have on your truck. Forget what you see elsewhere. What looks best with your colors/ trim/ and any chrome or blackout.

However,  (gimme a second to put my flame suit on real quick) [emoji91][emoji91][emoji91] if I was going to guess, which admittedly means there is no real basis for this other than friendly banter between myself and my fellow friends/acquaintances of a roughly approximate age as myself, the desire to go "bad boy black" with wheels and paint usually tapers off in people as they progress through life.  I still like black wheels, especially on dirt bikes where up until a few years ago most every wheel for the past 30 years has been brushed aluminum...BLAH.  I personally prefer a little bit of paint and a little bit of polish, nothing like a little salt and pepper to add spice to one's life [emoji4]

 

That being said, everybody likes different styles and none are better than another when it comes to something as simple as personal aesthetic choices.  A stylistic preference is unique in its ability to be singularly important to an individual and matter not to others, which makes it empowering to those who find importance in it, and ineffectual to those who don't.  That's the true beauty of modifying your personal vehicle to your tastes, and if black wheels give you that warm fuzzy, then Rock On and cast your worries aside!

But, I suggested they powder coat the wheels white for the stormtrooper look. I was being sarcastic though.

I think I’m getting old too...I’m content with my stock TB wheels.  There just isn’t anything out there that makes me want to wet my pants and swap them out.

I don't know if you've seen it, but a while back "black chrome" became super popular.  Its kind of a dark grey look with shine and it was BAD A!  I don't see if that often anymore, always liked it.

I have always had a thing for the XD Hoss and Hoss 2.0's. As you can tell since I have had them on 3 of my trucks. I might make it 4 if I put them on the 2021.

Crossed into 19,000 miles in 5 months and 2 weeks of ownership (got the truck with 141 miles). I also filled up the second tank for the week. The truck showed 29.8 MPG but hand calculated it came out to 31.21 MPG. That is the 3rd tank in a row that I've averaged over 30 MPG. Can't complain in a 5,500+ pound 4wd truck.

I LOVE the look and stance of this truck!!  I have a 2021 LTZ Premium coming in a few weeks, and I will be modeling mine after this one.  What suspension mods have you done to it??  Thanks in advance!

    • 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.
