Picked up my special ordered 2019 Trail Boss about 2 weeks ago.  Loving it so far.  Lots of mods already.

yep, just posted the exhaust video and a few other mods.  Have a cutout system that can switched between quiet and straight-piped.

Just watched it. :thumbs: 

Man that thing sounds like a Camaro or Corvette with the cutout to straight pipe... even with the 5.3 :drool:

The blackened CHEVROLET Tailgate recessed lettering is also a nice touch. 

Really makes it Pop. And the black Trail Boss emblem lettering on lower right of tailgate.

Thanks, the Chevrolet Tailgate decal is a GM part but the black Trail Boss lettering is something I put on myself.

Nice looking truck.  The only good looking 19 I've seen.  I will probably end up with one, good to know they can look good.

A Silverado emblem in black is also available as a GM accessory

Does it look possible to put a extra leveling cut under the factory one? Still too much rake , nice truck

 

The Trail Boss is lifted via a longer strut assembly in the front so you could put a leveling spacer if you wanted but they are not out yet.  From what I heard when talking to several lift companies, they will be releasing lift kits around SEMA for the Silverado/Sierra, but the Trail Boss/AT4 will only get limited lift kit options with some companies telling me that they will not make them for that specific model.  I myself am waiting for them to release a 2 inch lift all around for the Trail Boss so I can have a total of 4 inches of lift and squeeze in 35s.  I have 33.5 x 12.50 x 20 tires on my truck right now with a 0 mm offset 20 x 9 rim and they only very slightly rub at 100% full lock, otherwise there is no rubbing.

Matthew,

A 2" level is out for the 2019 Silverado and Sierra. >>>>>>> .Untitled-1.thumb.png.069968dfc1405317d2fdc75e727c4b7a.png

Dan,

 

It does not fit the Trail Boss model according to them.  I called already.  Same for the Fabtech one that is out.

Sorry!  Their site did not specifically say it would not fit a Trail Boss equipped truck. :dunno:

They need to clarify that on the site.

Could you post a picture of your angles and the gap between the control arms and bumpstops? It sounds like a stacked level unless they have different control arms on the TB

    • This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.
    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • 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.
