This is the angle GM should have used for their marketing pictures. Looks good

There is no question GM went through all their available pictures of the new truck last year and chose the worst angle and color combo possible as the initial teaser.  Nice pic of a beautiful truck Jaime.

yeah really nice bro....beautiful truck, glad it all worked out for you.....if you would have waited for the order never would have happened so good call!

 

went to a dealer today today.....salesman said 15k off MSRP but whateves….think he is full of shit, so well see how it develops....dbl cab LT 6.6 gas.....funny thing is it has tiny WT wheels on it 245's on 17's...which I thought was odd....either way still would be solid but just talk for now......also depending on my 2019 1500 trade in....

 

I absolutely love HC stock rims....these are best looking trucks hands down imo

I posted this in another thread but meant to post it here, oops.


First tow! Obviously towed it like a champ!

It was funny, I had parked on a street to drop off some truck wheels at a shop and a cop pulled up behind me.
I was thinking, oh great, what did I do wrong? (I’m a pretty good driver and don’t speed).

We chatted for about 5 min about the truck/x3 and then he said, “well thanks, I just wanted to chat” haha pretty cool guy and has some toys too.

Did you run out of money for a trailer?  Glad you spent your money on the truck though.

OOOHHH what brand of Toy Hauler?!?!?  I have had a few, although I went to a regular RV trailer last year.  I love it but I do miss my big 5th wheel toy hauler.  Loading quads on a deck on the truck is a PIA compared to having them tucked away safe and dry.

Grand Design Momentum 381M, it's a beast! pushing dually territory but have now confirmed from about 4-5 people that I'll be good to go loaded up on capacity and pin weight. especially since I'll be using it appropriately with toys in the garage to offset the pin weight. This will be my first one! Excited to hit the road, but I guess it works out that I don't have it right now since I wouldn't be able to travel with all the crap going on haha

Not to be negative, but a 381M with a SRW???  You are going to be weigh over your payload and likely GVWR...And you might push your GCWR if you load up that trailer. What is your truck's payload, etc. on the sticker?  Guessing around 3,600 in High Country trim?

Nice, I really like the Momentum, it may very well be my next trailer.  This is the largest one I have owned owned so far at 38'.  I towed it with my 2500 LMM.  I was definitely running right at my max towing capacity but was actually within my payload and axle limits.  Although, one time on the way back from a hunting trip with 3 elk loaded in the box ahead of the 5th wheel, I scaled it and was 200 lbs over on the steering axle and 600 lbs over on the drive axle.  With the garage loaded up, most of the weight was on the trailer axles which kept the pinbox weight down.

    • I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY
    • I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.
    • Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.  
    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
