Her she is after a long wait to get what I wanted.

 

2019 Trailboss LT

Cajun Red

Sunroof

Catback Exhaust

Cold Air Induction Kit

Convenience Package II

Chevy Sprayed Bed Liner

Upgraded Full Coverage Floor Mats

Underseat Storage (enroute)
Installed Console safe already

I have a bed cover to install, but just picked her up and it is raining ice here in Chicago so will have to wait.  Eventually going to tint out the windows and install more lights in the grill like I had on my 2016. Included pics of the 2016 LT I traded in for it for reference.

I love this truck. Was worth the wait....

MartyF81,

 

How is the new T1 compared to your old K2?

I love it!  It feels much roomier to me to me on the inside than the K2 was!  I think the display is much more modern looking and the center console feels bigger.

 

The performance exhaust sounds like thunder, you can't miss me coming for sure.  

 

The pictures on the Chevy Website simply do not do this thing justice compared to seeing it in person. I can't really think of anything that I am not satisfied with.  I do miss that there is not a cig-lighter plug in the center console anymore as that was what I used to charge my Stinger Flashlight. But can't have everything :-)

I would love to hear it if you ever get a chance to make a vid. I know the weather around here isn’t the greatest for it right now.

How does the exhaust sound on the highway when the fuel management stuff kicks in? I know the previous trucks sounded horrible when they went down to 4 cylinders if they had louder exhaust.

I do not have the gm exhaust however, I have an electronic cutout on my Trail Boss and it sounds great at all speeds.  With the new DFM, the switch between cylinder amounts is not noticeable and it sounds like a v8 all of the time.

I do not notice a difference in sound, or even that it is dropping cylinders at all to be honest.

I have noticed that my tach fluctuates  up and down about 200 or so RPM when I got cruze locked on.  This is on flat level road. So maybe that is the DFM.

You should be able to find a cable to charge it with the USBC port.

Picked up a trail boss on Saturday, I drove a Ram rebel before I drove the Chevy and it was a very nice truck but didn't have the truck feel I was looking for. The quietness and simplicity of the interior did it for me with the chevy, plus the exterior styling of the Ram was bland IMO. We all know what these look like so here's a shitty pic till I have time to wash it. 6be59ad70dee0d59a15fbd1a9d2aec30.jpg

Just Picked up my TrailBoss. Fricken love it!!!!!!!! I immediately put the GM 18" ZR2 wheels on Cooper AT3 XLT 305 65 18. It measures 33.56 x 12.2. Sits and rides so perfect. Could easily put 34" tires, but I liked these. Traded in my 2014 4wd w/Icon shock & A Arm. Loved my 14, but the trailboss has exceeded my expectations!

That is a kick ass looking wheel. Is it actually a colorado zr2 wheel? Figured the bolt pattern would be different.

The colorado wheel is a 17. This is an 18 made for the 2019 silverado. It is sold through GM accessories. It's basically the exact same wheel, but fit for the Silverado. A bit pricey, But looks bad ass!

Ok i was thinking it looked familiar on a silverado. That is the wheel they are using on the red rst lifted in the ads. Killer looking wheel.

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
