2020 AT4 3.0, Traded in my 2019 Tahoe premier for it last September.  I absolutely love it! The mileage is better, the 10 speed is smooth and it’s got more jam than the Tahoe(5.3) 

 

So far I’ve had it levelled, backflip tonneau installed, rear under seat storage box and swapped out the antenna for the Ronin stubby. I’ve plasti dipped the badges and will be doing the fog light bevels and mirror caps with white vinyl on my next days off. 
 

I don’t mind the rim design so I’ve been going back and forth on new rims or just powder coating the stock ones. The Duratracs are okay but I will definitely be going with something else when it’s time to replace them. 
 

We get lots of salt up here because of the winters so Rust check will be happening before another winter comes.

 

Waiting for S&B intakes to come back in stock and doing research on 2” lifts and better shocks.

 

And I’m really wanting a set of Bodyguard bumpers (front and rear) but with the exchange rate it’s not happening now.

I have a 21 Silverado Z71 LTZ with the 3.0L.  I have had the 5.3 L in my past two Chevy's but wanted to be back in a diesel.  I traded mine in and got this one and love it!   It has 12K miles on it now and has a 3" Cognito Coil over lift, 35x11.5 Toyo Open Country ATIII's, Go Rhino running boards, Diamondback HD Tonneau cover, Auto Stop Eliminator, Rough Country Speedometer calibrator, and debadged (Except the "Duramax"- I had to leave that!)

2022 RST, Z71. 

Drove a 2019 5.3 for almost 2 years, had an engine replacement under warranty. Knew one other person with a rebuild under warranty. Didn't want to go back to that. Absolutely love my 3.0. Much better mileage than the 5.3. Better power too. Havoc nerf bars, 20% tint.  3" superlift A Arm lift is on the way.

I bought my 2023 LTZ in August of 2023. I've had 2 other diesels before this 3.0. I had a 2006 Silverado 2500 6.6 LBZ and a 2011 GMC Denali 2500 6.6 LML. I had a 5th wheel toyhauler I was towing but have traded that in for a lighter bumper pull travel trailer and do not need the 2500HD anymore. The Denali LML wasn't a very good truck but the LBZ was a beast. I'm older and wiser now and am more about comfort over 1/4 mile times. 

The MPG of this 3.0 is pretty nice also.
