Are we sure if this is actually true or maybe the site has yet to be updated with all available options due to the timing?  We all know customer service reps are the first line, so I would not take their provided information as accurate.  I did notice on the build options, only a 5.3V8 w/10 speed was available, but again maybe it is too early to discount the possibility of a 6.2L in TB or RST.

 

With the press release back in May, indicating that 6.2L was coming in 2020, it seems there is still hope for those waiting on the 2020 6.2L configuration.

I noticed they added a dark essentials package.  I put both of these on my 2019 TB LT that I purchased last week.  It says black bowtie in the description, is this the same as the LT TB has currently?  When I look for black bowtie on the accessories page, I see the same one I have.

I noticed the black-out package, too. Smart. 

 

I wonder if they will have an OEM blacked-out Z71 badge. I really want to get rid of the chrome/white/red one on my RST.

If the 5.3/10 speed combo is available on the RST, that solves all my problems as any other trim level has some amount of compromise for me.

Yeah it's like that for me too. For some reason, the 1500 is called the Silverado LD, but it is the "new" one. It didn't open up any of the new options that were supposed to be coming.

 

Incidentally, I just chatted with GM to ask when the 6.2L option would become available to select on the RST, and they told me it wasn't coming to the RST (as they have repeatedly). After I showed them the press release on the Chevy website, the rep told me "You can't believe everything you read on the internet". Swear to god.

 

I've been looking for a new truck for 3 months. I've been trying to hold out to see if I'd be willing to sacrifice ventilated seats on a 6.2 RST. But it's stuff like this that's got me almost ready to jump on a Ram. It's ridiculous and my entire shopping experience has been incredibly frustrating. 

I had the same discussion with my dealership around the 10 speed being available in the SLE and up.

Good catch, I wonder why it’s late availability?!

Where do you live, HBKidJr? I live in DFW, where (as you know), it's quite hot. Do I wish I had the ventilated seats? Yes. But has it really bothered me much not having them? Not really. I have a good sunshade and with the remote start on the MyChevrolet app, I always turn the truck on for 10 min before leaving. Usually when I get into the truck, the leather is nicely cooled. ?

Tennessee. I dunno. I guess all my AT4, LTZ, and High Country test drives spoiled me. I don't really want to be forced into an upgrade and cost increase for one of those trims just for the seats though. I could do without it, but there are other headaches with GM's trim and package options I've voiced in other posts. And like someone above said, somewhere on the Chevy site, it claimed "late availability".

Man that would be excellent, I am with you.  I replaced the silver Silverado and LT with black and added the black Chevrolet for the tailgate, now just need to get rid of the color Z71 badge and have that blacked.

The late availability may be due to getting the assembly plant(s) tooled and/or ready for those particular builds.

 

The black nameplates are a great idea but really dumb in that they weren’t offered at all for GMC accessories and I doubt they’ll be offered for GMC in 2020 MY. Yet another example of how random GM seems to be thinking about selling these trucks.

I don’t always think the worst of GM but you have to wonder if the late availability isn’t related to them wanting to move all of the remaining 19s first. I’m sure it occurred to them that a lot of you guys are holding out for expanded 6.2 availability in 2020, and maybe they are waiting it out?

 

I don’t know if that makes business sense because presumably they could easily sell these 2020 TB and RST 6.2s like crazy with minimal (or no) discounts...but I can’t think of any other reason it would be delayed. It’s same powertrain in the same platform, just a different trim level. The diesel was trapped in EPA purgatory, but that’s definitely not the case here...

Has anyone decided to go to a dealer and just sit down and try and build/price one out? I know it can be a pain because you have to deal with typical dealership banter. At least at my local dealer bob johnson, theyll sit down and get you a build sheet and run through everything. Also, if not I would look up "Chevy Dude" on youtube...hes insanely informative and will respond to questions and comments if you message him.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.

      OCI, not when but why?

      The not as clean as one would assume theme with the new engine oil, that reminds me of comments over the years with mechanics not always being so on board with filling an oil filter, not from the center anyway due to that typically being the clean side of the filter, danger of some contaminant falling into the filter if not careful but the realization now that the oil may not be as pure as one had assumed it would surely be. Yes it would be possible to fill from the small holes but that means messing with something to prop open the anti drain back valve if the filter is so equipped and not damage that valve in the process. Me, I have hardly ever prefilled an engine oil filter however I have prefilled diesel fuel filters with a filter on a fuel bulk tank and for anyone that has messed with diesel engines with filters and units that have a limited or no way of priming them, putting on a dry filter is a bad day to say the least with those crappy systems. But anyway back to not so clean engine oil, indeed perhaps its not so bad after all that I have not made a practice of prefilling oil filters.    As Grumpy Bear commented on keeping things clean, that I really have to wonder what the typical practice is at a dealer or any other shop that changes engine oil, do they make sure to wipe or wash off the oil plug and certainly if it fell into some gunk or onto a dirty floor, or that they wiped the filter mounting flange and didn't go and use some dirty rag and end up adding dirt to the inside of the head of the filter mount. Or be careless in how they stored or handled the new filter and if they were bumping into items under the vehicle with the filter opening facing up and having dirt drop right into the filter and if so right into the threaded center that is on the clean side. The top side, did they clean away the built up gunk that may be around the filler before removing the cap or to be really careful at that point that something right close to the filler hole that was hidden under the caps flange won't fall into the engine. Or did they clean the funnel or was that just laying there covered in oil from the oil change before and dust kicked up from sweeping the floor stuck to the oil and now that will go running into the next persons engine due to just not cleaning the funnel as "they won't know anyway" attitude as that young guy is more worried about taking a break so he can go outside and smoke a joint. Just random points that came to mind when I think about what some hired personnel may do that the shop foreman has no idea of or perhaps the whole attitude of some shops may be "eh ... who cares, they will never know the difference anyway".

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?
