Just picked this up yesterday. My last two trucks were Summit White so this time around I went with the Carbon Black Matalic. 2c61469951411d67bdb00fd0c39968f1.jpg8699e8ee27368698fa0cf04634e3cc45.jpg

Just picked her up Friday. 2020 LT Trail Boss, 5.3 liter. Didn’t really want the running boards or sports bar, but stock was very limited and I really wanted the color and standard bed. I’m actually starting to like the look. I’m very happy so far. First Chevy. Coming from a Ram 1500.

 

What tonneau covers can I use with the sport bar?

GM has a soft roll up tonneau cover that work for about $500. I had no difficulty at all getting the Rough Country trifold tonneau to install, but you won't be able to fully open the tonneau cover beyond the first section due to the sport bar angling inward and getting in the way. I have the short bed on my truck. Your result may be slightly different due to having a longer bed. With that said, I also installed the Rough Country before I installed the sport bar. Before selecting a tonneau cover my dealer also told me the $2500 GM Accessories roll up tonneau cover would work too. a7748be62fe3d8ad9013dd516f06aa10.jpg

Thanks Transient, useful information. It seems that my options are going to be limited.

 

The soft root up will be my fallback. Not sure I am willing to spend $2500.

Awesome truck. What kit did you use to lower it?

Enjoying the progress of my 2020 Custom Trail Boss. Fog light install, level, and new shoes to follow.....

You're welcome. I'm glad my experience was able to help you. It was a struggle for me to get answers when I was looking. I was getting bad info from dealer (and could tell instantly), and not much else out there for info. Beware that if you try remove the sport bar you will have to deal with electrical in the fuse block to make the high mount stop light above your rear window function.

Is that with the helper bags? How's it ride?

 

I've got a 3/5 going in in a week or so; Belltech spindles and struts in the front, Maxtrac flip kit in the back......but I've been told that the ride would be really rough with that much drop in the back, without doing a notch; be good to hear from someone who's actually gone that low.

I love it.  It keeps it just as cool from the sun as if you had the cover closed without it being as dark.  I had it done at the same time when I had it in for the ceramic coating.

First 'almost' new Chevy in a while, last one was a 2013 BlackDiamond LTZ Avalanche.  Bought this 2019 with 8000 miles.    No mods yet except for LineX  bed liner.  The step bars come already on it,  and less than two months already showing signs of wear.  LineX guys said they would spray them for 200 bucks if I ever decide to get them done.

Yeah mine started showing wear right away. I'm easy on them so definitely disappointed from the durability aspect.

    • 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.
