this morning i picked the wife's dry cleaning and glory hallelujah there was a hook in my Custom TB. i was pleasantly surprised since they basically took every simple convenience out of this model. it's a miracle there were seats included with the package. :)

No offense but a Custom isn’t meant to have all the pleasantries... you get what you pay for

No you don't get what you pay for. $40K should get more than what a Custom TB comes with. Gator don't play no trick.  $40K should include:

- Steering Radio Buttons

- Center Console that opens

- Pockets on the back of seats

- Lights on visor mirrors

- Seats that move up and down in the front

- Seats that move, recline in the back

- More than 1 (ONE) USB port on the center console, or anywhere in the truck for that matter

- Some basic safety feature like lane keep assist

- Push Button Start/Engine Ignition

Shhh...they probably made a mistake, now they're going to remove it from the 2020 models.

While I agree that spending $40k should include some things, you still purchased a base model truck. The reason it’s $40k is the same reason no vehicles are being built right now... UAW demands.

You paid cheap....you got cheap.....and a $40K truck is a cheap vehicle.

 

At a time when a Hershey bar was 5 cents and a gallon of gas was a quarter, my dad paid $2200. for a  new '60 Chevy Impala, a cheap car in its day, the bottom feeder of the GM lineup,  with PS, PB, V8, AM tube radio, no A/C  and no nothing else.  Today a Hershey bar is $1 and gas around $3 for an inflation factor of 15 - 20 (worse if you consider gold which went for $35/oz. compared to $1500/oz today) so an Impala rightly  for $4.4K .....proportionally a $40K Silverado with base options, even including A/C, is cheap by comparison. Suckers like me who want a decent truck and load the base model with over $14K in options so GM can afford to offer a stripped price leader for the model, if not you'd have to settle for a base line Colorado or lower. Consider yourself lucky you even got a Silverado with hooks, and seats too.

What did you pay for your RST?

$56,165 MSRP paid $42,000 rollout including State tax on the differential on my $32,000 trade (exceeded KBlueB excellent and what I wanted by $2K).  Good break because it was overpriced for the model.  And it too is a fairly cheap truck ..certainly no top of the line High Country or Denali truck either. But I liked the color scheme and front grille on the RST, only chrome left on the whole truck is the surround for the front bowtie.DSCN0637.JPG.d894a0db094645ed93cd5dfe7c65a5f3.JPG

Hahaha nope. He’s talking about the hook on the roof for a clothes hanger. That’s why this is a ridiculous post.

Maybe I'm old school, but my Custom has enough modern conveniences to survive.  Crap, the steering wheel audio controls are the thing I seem to miss the most but then I just have to reach another 6 inches to adjust the stereo.  Oh the horror!  ?

 

$34k is what I paid and I get to drive around a killer vehicle with plenty of room vs. some Hyundai with leather seats and steering wheel controls.

Cars have pretty much kept up with inflation over the years, which is especially impressive when you account for new tech/features. However, wages haven't seen the same growth.

I see, well I guess that makes sense.  Mine was $37.5K OTD, so price of the truck $35,500, with $500 in title and dealer processing and $1500 in sales tax.  For that I did get

 

-5.3V8,

-4x4  Z71

-Chrome Dual Exhaust  (the dual exhaust setup is much better IMHO, b/c of the sleek line you get much better Angle of Departure off road)

-Off Road Package with Steps, Sport Bar and Tonneau

- Electronic Tailgate

- LED Bed Lights

- Sirius XM

- Infotainment

- 2 INCH Lift Kit

- Goodyear Off Road Tires MudTrac

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      One would think. BUT....This is what a Google search gives for the GM OLM system:    It doesn't measure oil condition save the highly indirect water temperature. It should measure oil temperature and as we've discussed they are not as closely related as one might assume. The algorithm is based on expected conditions at the end of a certain number of miles or revolutions. And sirs, this estimated value is not tilted in the engines favor. It favors the OEM's bottom line. There are no magical number of miles nor revolutions. No magical time limit. There is only what can be measured directly and only in the broadest of terms would the values used even come close to reality.    It samples nothing. It has no idea where the oil started or where it will finish given the limited values use to create the algorithm. It is just a reminder for the brain dead to do something at some time to keep the warranty in tact. Pure fiction.    Key Factors in Oil Life Calculation The OLM calculates the remaining oil life percentage based on the following factors: Factor Description Engine Revolutions Tracks the number of engine revolutions since the last reset, decreasing oil life with use. Mileage Since Last Reset Monitors the distance driven since the last oil change, capped at 7,500 miles for most models. Time Since Reset Decreases oil life over time, dropping to 0% after one year, regardless of mileage. Engine Temperature Adjusts oil life based on coolant temperature; exceeding 260°F sets oil life to 0%.

      Towing power and I guess MPG matter that’s why I may end up going with a gear swap as soon as they’re available for this truck if I’m correct

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By GMTruckGuy74 · Posted

      If I may, I'd like to post my prediction of the trim levels for the 2027 GMC Sierra, based on what was released/introduced today about the Chevy Silverado.   Using the "Professional Grade" wording already in use by GMC, here are the eight (8) trims I believe the Sierra will offer (comparable Chevy trim in parenthesis): Sierra Pro (Work Truck/WT) Elevation (Custom) Elevation Premium -or- Ultimate (Silverado) AT4 (Custom Trail Boss) AT4 Premium -or- Ultimate (Trail Boss) AT4X (ZR2) Denali (High Country) Denali Ultimate (N/A) If GMC would rather simplify the trim levels, then I predict six (6) with package upgrades in parenthesis: Sierra Pro (with a Graphite package upgrade option) Elevation (with a Premium -or- Ultimate package upgrade) AT4 (with a Premium -or- Ultimate package upgrade) AT4X (with AEV and Ultimate packages upgrade) Denali Denali Ultimate  Let's see if I'm close.

      Auto start stop disable

      By revmanii · Posted

      I have to believe there are already a bunch of threads on this, but my searches didn't turn up much. While I like the ease of a plugin solution like the Carbyte, It appears it disables the AFM or DFM too, and is not configurable to only disable the auto stop/start. So, I'm looking at the Autostop Eliminator product. I like the idea of it better, but I'm concerned about the install and having to pull so many panels to get it installed. Mines a 2026 work truck, so from what I've read it's a less involved install, but having watched a couple install vid's, I'm still a little intimidated. Might need to buy some plastic trim tools to get it done without breaking or marring stuff. Any experience intalling in a WT greatly appreciated.
