They call it dark atmosphere on their website. The dash and doors are brown and the seats are a lighter brown/gray. Definitely not a plain light gray like others I have seen. Have you looked at one?

No I haven't, I'm not doubting you, it sounds nice it's just the picture looks gray to me. I'll have to go see if I can find one on the dealers lot, not as if I'm replacing mine anytime soon though.

Thanks! Go check it out - I think you will like it. For the Texas Heat it is better than black.

Agreed on this. 


These new leather seats absorb heat and retain it really strongly. If you do not have ventilated leather seats, and your seats are in the sun... prepare to have a warm backside as you drive. No matter how well you cool the interior. 


Even when my leather RST is in the shade, the ambient 100º heat in TX warms the seat so much that it just will not cool down. :(

Welcome to the forum. Very nice truck! The deep blue goes very nicely with the chrome!

You're correct; the seats are gray.  I have the same interior (Very Dark Atmosphere/Gideon) in my RST and love the color.  My dealer had many Silverado's in stock with the Dark Atmosphere/Gideon interior.  The dash, doors and console are a very dark brown, the console leather padding and door armrest is a silver tan but the seats are gray as you perceive them and have no brown in them.  My previous Sierra had the Cocoa/Dune interior.  The dash and doors were more brown than the Dark Atmosphere and the seats were a beige/tan.

Sometimes I wish I would have gotten the 6.2. Maybe next time ?

How does the 5.3/8 handle that load? And probably the better question, how does the 1/2 ton do stopping that load?

Actually stoping is not an issue at all the trailer break controller on this truck is very impressive. Taking off on an incline is a kind of slow. It is very stable tho. This load max out my capacity.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
