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

Just home with a blue High Country. We needed to downsize, so traded in our 2013 Silverado and 2015 Suburban. Truck is fantastic and love having the 6.2L. Compared the the engines in the other 2, this has some balls.

The interior made my 2013 seem like a dinosaur.

Thanks, just wish it didn't ride on 22's - At least they're not spinners.

I just leveled mine and added 33 inch Nitto Ridge Grapplers... What I don’t understand is how some with our same truck are claiming to get 22 and 23 mpg... I am around 15... I don’t drive aggressive either...

I year you - I'm got around 18-19 today but that includes a long highway run. It was at 11.9 when I got it with 79 miles on it, so my MPGs are slowly creeping up. I think the average is at 16 right now.

 

I do admit it's hard to not drive aggressively with that 6.2 purring away.

Agreed... I drove a Trail Boss with the 5.3 but soon as I drove the High Country 6.2 it was over...

Damn. I must have a lead foot. But then I was at 75 on the highway, not 55.

So much factors into MPG figures.

Slight headwinds can dramatically impact mileage on a truck. Any truck.

If your local station has switched to winter blend fuel, that can chop it by a couple miles also.

The more ethanol, the more decrease.

Try a tank of E85 (if your engine is equipped to handle it) and watch your average dip to 12-14  :loser:

New guy here seriously admiring your trucks!!    I'm in the market and have decided that the 2019 Silverado 1500 is by far the best looking truck on the market, and with the new trailing packages, etc. meets my towing needs.  

 

So, if you don't mind a question.   For 2018, the Z71 package had  body color bumpers, grill, mirros, etc. instead of the standard chrome.  However, all the2019s  I've seen locally have the chrome.bumpers, grill, etc.  The only version I've seen with the body color front grill, etc is the RST.

 

But, looking at the photos here, I see a number of  the Z71 with body color grills, etc instead of chrome.    I really like the look of the black or body color rather than chrome.  

 

Is it an option on the Z71 package now?  Did you have to order it that way?  Is it regional?  Or is it just that the ones with body color haven't hit the dealers here yet ?

 

Thanks

  • Chrome bumpers are on LT and LTZ
  • RST and Custom have body color all around
  • Trail Boss is all blacked out (grille, bumpers, door handles, mirrors, etc)
  • High Country bumpers are body color but the grille is chrome with bronze ends

 

Z71 does not make the truck all body colored anymore.

 

According to Chevy's site, Z71 includes the following on an LT:

 

  • Bed Protection Package
  • Dual-outlet exhaust
  • 2-speed Autotrac Transfer Case
  • Hill Descent Control
  • 18" Bright Silver painted aluminum wheels
  • Rear wheelhouse liners
  • Chevytec spray-on bedliner
  • Automatic locking rear differential
  • 17" P265/70R17SL all-season, blackwall spare tire
  • Skid plates
  • Trailering Package
  • 18" P265/65R18SL all-terrain, blackwall tires
  • High-capacity air filter
  • Hitch Guidance
  • First and second row all-weather floor liners with Z71 logo

If you are looking for all body color, you will need to order a Custom (WT) or an RST.  If you want body color bumpers only, you will have to order the High Country.  If you want all blacked out, you would either have to order a Trail Boss or a black Custom/RST.  Keep in mind the blacked out bumpers on the LT Trail Boss are not painted black, they are very dark black chrome along with a gloss black grille, handles, mirror caps, etc.  Trail Boss also is the only one that comes stock with blacked out Bow Ties, both the front one and the steering wheel one.

 

Below is an Image that GM-Trucks took of all eight lined up and a link for a video commercial that shows all 8.  Hope this helps.  Let me know if you have any other questions.

      Sugar Bears 2015 GMC Terrain SLE-2 2.4 AWD

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔

      cam upgrade in CA

      By AidenVorpagel · Posted

      hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.
