I’m not sure i like the shade of that yellow but a yellow or an orange could look awesome with all the black on a trail boss. I support the idea! If your sales person cant get it done for you find a dealer that does large fleet orders. They will be able to assist better probably. Might still resist ordering it because it might take a long time to get or they don't want to get stuck with it. They may want a substantial deposit just to cover their rear.

I am not a fan of the T1 styling BUT....it's cute. Like a bowtie on a bull dog sort of cute. First color I've seen on one of these that didn't make me want' to turn away. Like the silver grill/bumper too. Now if just had two less doors and a 6.6.

 

I started looking at the Dodge as it can sill be ordered in a two door with a V8, or so they advertise. Went through the entire process of the build sheet and guess what....not a single in the lower 48 or Canada. Not a local dealer was willing to place the order. Hardly matters if something is in on the menu if the chef is unwilling to cook it up.

the body style is growing on me. I don't usually go for black wheels, but the trail boss is really starting to catch my eye.

 

If they drop the price on that Yellow LT a bit more, I will be very tempted to buy it. It has almost every option.

 

I am also considering a 2500hd so I can get the 6.6 and a 6.2 trailboss LT.

 

Thanks,

Chris

You made me go look. I had no idea ram/dodge was still continuing the classic body for 2020. I knew the new body was not available in a single cab and thought the old body was done after 19. Interesting no one will order one for you. Maybe it really isn't available but not updated on their website.

I like the yellow color one, I owned a burnt orange cavalier in 04. Be easy to find probably be the only one in the area. Hopefully they can get it done for you

SEO colours are only available on 1WT and 1LT trims  (work truck and LT).

 

SEO colours page also says:

Note: GM will require 5 orders before sending to the plant. May require extended lead time.

 

Some of the SEO colours are not available on regular cab.

 

FWIW, there are at least 5 yellows in the SEO list.

Just order a white or black one and wrap it with yellow vinyl. Would be better for re-sale or when you are sick of yellow.

This is probably the best idea

Or, just find the best deal on a white or black trail boss that is on any one of the hundreds of Chevy lots out there. Buy it, wrap it and call it done. Plus with the wrap the factory paint will look brand new if you ever decide to unwrap it.

That trail boss does look pretty good - If you really want the yellow, I say try to add black in there like the trail boss photo you posted. Black grill, bumpers, door handles, side mirrors, etc.  The suggestion to get a black trail boss and wrap it in yellow is a great idea too. Re-sale would be much higher and quicker/easier. Plus if the body is black, that would be a great contrast for the parts of the vehicle you didn't get wrapped. Wrap the exterior only, then when you open the door, you see black on the ends, door sills, steps, etc.  Don't know if that's how wraps work or not.

 

You should also think about doing your own custom "Transformers"/"Bumblebee" package like they did for the Camaro. That could drum up some interest from folks that see you out.

    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
