Is there a GMC Sierra version of the RST? I like the Silverado, but love the new Sierra. I am eyeballing an RST with the 6.2, maybe in a few years, after all the leaky windows are fixed and the new interior design. Is there GMC version? I like the AT4 too.

That's because the Elevation is really a SLE+ and you have to get an SLT, AT4 or Denali to get a 6.2L engine.

Like Ford and Ram. I wish you could get each trim level in painted bumpers and grill. Again with my comment about getting rid of Mary.

You mean like not even have a rear locker on their most off-road version they make?

RST and LTtrailboss are postioned between LT and LTZ

 

Traditional LT= SLE and LTZ=SLT

 

Elevation is between SLE and SLT

 

So, if you consider Elevation to be like RST, then the answer is yes.

 

The AT4 is positioned between the SLT and Denali, which would be like being between LTZ and High Country.

 

 

At the end of the day, the are all just different GM trims. 14 trims in all, for the 1500 series pickups. 

 

The chassis are the same for both divisions.

As the others have said, Elevation seems to be equivalent to the RST. However, you can't get leather or the 6.2 in the Elevation. 


Really wish you could get the ACC and 6.2 in the Elevation.

Elevation is equal to the custom. Gmc does not have a slot for a sport style truck between sle and slt. The rst slots between the Lt and Ltz.

Given that you can't even get the bench seat with storage in the Custom, I highly doubt that.

If I were buying a 6.2, I'd go for the RST. But you probably can't get ACC in one of those either.

Really stupid GM won’t offer mono painted bumpers on the SLT. Another small reason why RAM took market share from them. Ohh and that awful interior.

Correct. Which is stupid. GM is always playing games. Meanwhile I can get an RST with the 6.2. Or better yet, the Custom Trail Boss. (Lifted Work Truck) 

 

Another reason why Ford out sells Chevrolet and GMC on an individual brand basis and sometimes on the combined basis is because you can get every engine and transmission combo on every trim. Thankfully GM has finally lightened up a little and is expanding their engine line up.

Just be aware that the Custom is really stripped down. No storage in the jump seat. No fog lights. It's fine if that's what you want in a truck but lots of guys have come on here surprised at what their Custom is missing after they bought it.

Yep, that’s my point. You can get a stripped down version with a lift in the 6.2 but you can’t get an elevation with it. Does not make sense. GM can do such a great job on something like Corvette, but then botch their biggest money maker. Mary needs to go as CEO.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
