MSRP: 61k my price: 48k   Here is what i did recently to get 20% off of my truck.  On the last week of August i stopped by every dealership in my local area (6).  For the first 4 dealer

Got a 2020 LT trail boss this weekend MSRP 55,105 Discounted to 44,147 Was out the door for 49k (no trade in so tax was high) This is my first modern Chevy. I had a 68 Chevelle that I restored

Of course.  A year-old truck is worth less, you should expect to pay less.  Resale value is definitely lower.  Even if you're buying it "new", as soon as you drive it off the lot it's a year older tha

MRSP was close to 50. 
I paid 40k before TT&L.
It was a loaner with $3000 miles on it.  I'm around 20% off MSRP. I live in Utah where there's no inventory. Unfortunately it's a sellers market.
Sold my less than 1 year old Tacoma to Carvana for $2500 over MSRP when it was brand new.

Looking at a 2020 Trail Boss with the 6.2  The dealer won't budge off of 51146, arguing the limited availability.  The MSRP is 59,550.  I want the 6.2, but the limited movement on the pricing and decreased gas mileage has got me second guessing myself.  Looking forward to your thoughts.

How much more are you expecting to get off?  Sounds like a decent amount of discount.  Not the greatest deal in the world but not too bad.  If I remember correctly I got $9113 off my 2020 RST 6.L and was happy with the deal.  If your already worrying about the MPG maybe you should analyze how much the truck is going to cost you and if the extra cost would be worth it to you.   Like take the number of miles you drive and figure out how much extra you will be spending given the loss in MPG plus the fact that Premiun fuel is highly recommended.  For me the cost will be about $500 a year at the most given current gas prices and overestimating the miles I drive and overestimating the difference in reggie and premium (used $1.00 as my overestimation).  I don't drive a whole lot and the $500 a year will not really be missed lol.  Just my thoughts.

5.3 and 6.2 mileage is the same in the real world. 6.2 slightly better as you don't have to dig in to get it up to speed. (3k shifts on the 5.3 vs 2k on the 6.2 to keep up with traffic)

Now if you like drive like a hooligan, the 6.2 encourages you. Whereas the 5.3 doesn't.

I have a 2019 High County 6.2L and I was able to get about $8,500 off msrp. The 6.2L does use a bit more fuel but it is was well worth it when towing a 9k travel trailer up a 6% grade hill.

Thank you all for the quick responses.  It looks as if I am about 15% below MSRP.  I'm used to 20% this time of year when I usually buy, so that is what my thoughts were based upon.

 

In regards to the 6.2, I do not drive a lot.  I'm lucky to put 5K on a year.  I realize you are all probably raising your eyebrows, but I also don't tow or haul too much.  The larger engine is strictly for fun as ridiculous as that may sound.  There are a lot of posts in the engine topic that made me nervous, as they are giving mileages that are worse than what I got in my crew cab 2500 or older 6.2s in 1500s.  I did have a AWD denali in 2011 with the 6.2 and that mileage was within my range of comfort.  It just seems to be all complaints over in that post, but I suppose if you are happy with it your less likely to broadcast.

 

Thanks Again.

Low mileage 6.2 will fetch a mega premium over a low mileage 5.3.

I got 2020 4x4 Duramax 2500HD Long Bed WT with Z82 Tow Package when the market was shîtty, very shîtty, 46K out of the door.  Why I went with the WT?  After looking all the LTZ, High Country and the rest of the high end trim, it was way too much coin for my taste.  All I wanted is the Powertrain and Chassis.  Turns out, that is the same identical Powertrain and Chassis as the 80K truck.  Also, the WTs has all the stuff that is a must for me, like Crusie Control, AC, Gauges, Power Lock and Windows, Remote Keyless Entry, Vinyl/Rubber Carpet was a huge plus, Rear AC Vents, 6 Speaker System, 7 in Touch Screen, USB Port (Android Audio).  The rims... well the ungliest one from the bunch but we all change rims anyway, why pay for extra stuff anway.

 

So I saw a clean canvas and took the chance.

 

Edit.

 

This is what is on the Z71 Package.  What is in Bold are the features on the WT.  I considered unnecessary the Z71 since all in my taste important features came with the WT.

 

Z71 Off-Road Package gifts the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado with:

 

  • Z71 Off-Rad suspension with Rancho™ twin tube shocks (Rancho monotube shocks on Trail Boss)
  • Hill Descent Control
  • Skid plates
  • Heavy-duty air filter with industry-first air filter monitor
  • Metal underbody shield
  • Z71 hard badge (TW, LT, RST and LTZ models)
  • 2-speed Auto-Trac Transfer case (WT, LT, RST and LTZ models)
  • 18” all-terrain Blackwall tires (LT, RST and LTZ models)
  • 18” Bright Silver painted aluminum wheels (LT and RST models)
  • Automatic Locking Rear Differential (WT, LT and RST models)
  • Dual exhaust with polished tips (LT, RST and LTZ models)
  • May require additional optional equipment

Their low mileage is because they are on the loud pedal. No V8 is good in real City driving. (Speeds under 40)

6.2 get 22-24 highway(60-65) empty.

To be honest with you I don't even own a tow hitch or trailer.  I also wanted the 6.2 for the fun factor and because I wanted the 10-speed.  Figured I plan to keep the truck around 10 years so the SPG (Smiles Per Gallon) were more important than the MPG.

I paid $47K for my 2020 Trail Boss after factoring in my trade, supplier discount, cash stackable discounts, and 0% financing.

      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.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      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.
