I doubt it. Not enough demand. 

They already make the RCSB...just don't market here.  Half the trucks made are made outside the US so importing them is also already being done. Just not privately. If you can obtain all parts required to do the conversion and there are companies already doing these conversions then it isn't about importing or demand or profit either. Actually what it is about is a company telling you that they will do as the please and you will take what they offer. It's about a company that forces on it's home base only those products that have align with there long game. 

 

Mazda has been selling the Mazda 2 Coupe in the USA for quite a few years now but to Toyota who badges them first as Yaris then as Toyota. Mazda does not want to compete in the USA with their own Mazda 3 coupe but still likes to sell the Mazda 2 coupes to everyone. Even Americans.

Focus Groups made of children making corporate policy.  He talks about EPA and I ask how a 6.2 CCSB is more friendly than a 5.3 RCSB Like bratty children. They want what they want.

      Castrol Edge VS Amsoil OE

      By diyer2 · Posted

      I use Amsoil's OE line of motor oil (5W20) in our 19 Hyundai Santa Fe. I noticed today on the web site it now says (47% more wear protection1 than required by the GM dexos1 Gen 2 specification). Maybe I  missed it but I don't think so.

      The amount of storage in the rear seat area is huge. You can keep all your cycle gear dry and clean back there

      Subtle vibration, can of worms opened.

      By Sparky176 · Posted

      Truck in fluid changes and investigate subtle shudder at cruising speeds.  Told them it felt like my ‘14’s shudder when AFM kicked in.   Dealer #1 :  You need a new torque converter.   6 weeks later, after causing other damages to my truck, I get the truck back.  Same shudder exists. New, more violent shifts and vibrations at low speed.  After choice words and a few more weeks of waiting for them to replace my running boards supports, I move on to another Dealer.   Dealer #2:  The cruising speed shudder is DFM.  (I didn’t realize truck had it.) The TCM/ECM needs updates.  Updates will solve all vibration issues.   They perform updates, truck seemed ok in lot.  Not a mile down the road, SERVICE BRAKE PAD MONITOR. Dealer #1 stated brakes were at 4mm.   took truck back to Dealer #2, rear brakes at 2mm and less than 1mm.     New pads/rotors on rear, new pads up front.   truck seems good. Toggle through menus, brake monitor system is disabled.  Huh?  Why? Turn that sucker on : SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM!     will not reset manually, automatically, or even after pulling negative bat cable for 30min.     Could the TCM/ECM updates the culprit?    A torque converter diagnosis for a “normal” shudder and now I’m thousands in the hole and the truck still isn’t right!  Beyond pissed.

      Trim level custom/pro

      Seats matter a lot.  I would start there - good advise here.  I had a 2018 LT Colorado before my 2026 LT Silverado, and the seats are so much better in the new one it's not even a contest.  That was one thing I always hated about the Colorado and I owned two of them spanning 10 years - but I did it so I could park in the garage mainly.  Now I have a much larger property and a huge barn so I have plenty of parking options and a full size is more useful for maintaining the property and current hobbies as well.  I wasn't evenb thinking about the seats as part of the reason for the move to the Silverado, but after two back to back 700mile road trips I am sold on the LT seats w/ leather 100%.  The other LT features are also nice - one thing I really like is the power rear window on the back window by the bed.  And the lighting in the bed is also very nice to have - I doubt that comes on the lower models.  Power tailgate - also quite useful - it's a heavy slug!  What else - I could take or leave the screen - but heated seats and steering wheel and cruise control on the steering wheel is very useable - I would never want to live without that.  Even the colorados had that.
