The fit is perfect. I can’t imagine there being an issue with them popping off. It’s a cheap alternative that works. 

Heck ya...I agree I cant justify new wheels right now so i may go this route come spring. Thanks for the input.

700 miles in, absolutely love this truck.  The reviewers can bang on the interior all they want, it is very much my cup of tea.  Vastly improved, the screen works great and everything is intuitive.  I never had an issue with the older style seats, but the new side bolsters on this one are awesome.  I was honestly sad to trade in my 2015 Duramax Denali 2500, it served me so well, but this 2020 has me wanting to drive everywhere.

Some updated photos of my 2019 RST. 3 inch MotoFab kit on 22x12 Arkon Lincoln's on 33" Atturo Trailblade MTs. Removed the front and rear mudflaps and put color matched fender plugs and removed the front lower valance.6c9a1f748f5beddac2d0f4a6a9bc1699.jpg8451fda2ebbc0ede4234f09bd41628fc.jpg1a86e1dcefd4c032845f9913324012a4.jpg

Thank you! I am very happy with the truck so far!

Put on close to 900 miles yesterday traveling to and from Houghton MI. 

That's salt from the roads (on the sides, not tailgate) in case you've never spent a winter up North.  ?

My God!  ?

 

I'd have a mental breakdown knowing all that crap is on and in every crevice of my truck!

It's not that bad...we have about 3 months in the summer when we can keep them clean.  :wtf:

Dang... Man I'm glad we don't have that here. Salt=rust and corrosion.

How do you know this?

Title department said so when I got it tagged and I bought it in October and there were only 4 available at any dealers  in the state

CT here... I know this feeling all too well. I just put a coating on it, aerolon, which seals the paint, rubber, glass, etc. there was a warm spit where I could wash the salt off and put this coating on. A little peace of mind for me through the winter... I just have to apply it every 5 months or so. When the winter is over I’ll power wash the undercarriage as well...

Just picked up a 2020 with the 3.0 diesel. It’s the LTZ trim. I’m absolutely blown away with this truck.  The family and I take a lot of summer road trips, so looking forward to the MPG gains with the diesel.  I’m in the camp of loving the interior.  This truck is such a joy to drive.

Kudos for noting that directional wheels are directional.  Sharp truck!

    • 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.
