That is an awful commercial. A more honest version:

"We have so many options, most you cant afford!" 

 

"Want a 6.2? Too bad were saving it from most of our 8 options... Too bad you work truck loser."

 

"Want to learn about our other engine options. Too bad, its a secret. Oh but dont worry they wont be available in the option you want."

 

"Want to see the interior? No you cant its amazingly new and not cheap just believe"

By GM's order guide, these 8 are the current chev trim levels for 2019:

 

Work Truck    

Silverado Custom    

Silverado Custom Trail Boss    

LT    

RST    

LT Trail Boss    

LTZ    

High Country

 

6 more for gmc: (sort of; one is double cab only and one is crew cab only)

 

Sierra
SLE
Elevation Double Cab
SLT
AT4
 Denali Crew Cab

 

 

So does that make 14 trim levels?
 

(we all know sierra and silverado are just different trims of the same vehicle)

Not much of a commercial, very sedated, no theme, no commentary, I do however like the CUSTOM with CHEVROLET across the front with body color grill. I like the Trail Boss CUSTOM but don't like the black front grill. I would lift the CUSTOM and get all terrain tires with black out wheels. If that is I was in the market for a new Silverado.

Want adjustable pedals? Sorry, it's not offered in our new 1500 trucks. However, you can find a used base model 2005 Malibu that has it. WTH is GM thinking with all the de-contenting? I hope they fix the blunders on the 2020 HD trucks and freshen the 1500s.

My daily driver 2001 Ford Taurus has power adjustable pedals LOL

Also, GM ditched the turn signal indicators in the side mirrors on T1.

Yes! Someone said it would interfere with the BLIS indicator. Not buying that. They worked fine together on the last gen trucks and still work together today on the SUVs.

I believe they are trying to make the maximum amount of profit on each sale, not simply trying make the highest number of sales.

Was thinking the same thing, exactly zero information about the trucks or why I would want to buy one.

The biggest problem is that the truck looks boring in all the trim levels.. it lacks attitude.. It is boring to look at... Ram looks.. better.. Ford looks.. well.. blah.  Crapota Tundra.. looks.. decent.. Nissan.. looks.. silly.

The slipping sales will continue and the max profit per sale will be useless as more people turn away. Not a good business model when trying to gain market share.

Believe you are correct . Read somewhere GM stated these trucks are ''value engineered '' to maximize profits for Ma General.

Actually prefer ford trim line a lot better. You have standard version a chrome version and sport version which is body colored. You can’t get these version ok almost all their trucks. Gm just seems like they have their head in the sand.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
