I like this color with the 6.2.

The blue does look awesome with the black wheels. That’s on my list northsky blue. The 6.2 adds around 5k and there are even less in inventory.
Actually, about half that. Iirc, the upgraded engine is $2,490 more.

I think the black accents goes well with this color of blue, think you could get away with chrome door handles, but the nose needs to stay black, or better yet painted blue to match the rest of the truck.
The other option is to get the RST and have the dealer install the GM Accessories lift kit the Trail Boss comes with.

On the Custom Trail Boss, 6.2 is a $2900 option.

On the LT Trail Boss, 6.2 is a $2495 option.

On the RST, 6.2 is a $2495 option.

The LTZ and High Country its a $2495 option.

Thanks, I understand but when they add the 6.2 they usually add other options like the midnight edition. Which sounds cool but on the trail boss not sure what the advantage would be.

Red is the only answer...but I may not be impartial?.  Also, the 6.2 and 10 speed does not disappoint.

Midnight edition is an optional package. I've only seen 1 in person, and I have seen several Trail Bosses rolling around in my area. The dealership i bought my truck from also has another blue LT Trail Boss. MSRP is $51,****** on their website, so it's not that loaded.

I bought a 2020 Custom Trail Boss, 5.3L V8, Crew Cab, Cajun Red in April  I love the truck. I wanted a TB so I could do some mild “off-roading” on USFS fire roads in Southern California.
 

There are several differences between the TB and RST regarding the suspension, tires, lift, front recovery hooks. You can get the Z71 with G80 locker and skids plates on the RST. Those items are part of the TB package. Make sure you know what you are getting with each. 
 

I did not need the extra power of the 6.2. I also was not very concerned by a lot of the interior extras that come on the LT or RST trim levels. 
 

I am very glad that I have the extra off road goodies of the TB. They have been great in the local mountains, and a perfect fit for our family adventures. 
 

Also I liked the blacked out trim on the TB rather than the chrome on other trims. I am glad the TB does not have a front air dam, since it would get banged up with my use. 


Once I knew exactly what features and colors I wanted, I used the Chevy website to locate trucks with those features within a reasonable travel distance. I saved the inventory numbers, and called each dealer, asking for the internet sales manager. I was able to get the perfect deal and truck in two days. 
 

Good luck with your purchase! I don’t think you can go wrong with the new Silverado, either a TB or a RST.

Dude's a LSU fan.......what else would you expect?

Dude, if asking a valid question is "criticizing" then someone needs to thicken up the skin a little.  Guy asked for advice on color and then clarified in a later post he didn't really mean it.  ?

 

Oh and yes, I'm an LSU fan for life.  Thanks for noticing.

I have a 2020 Black TB Midnight Edition on the way. This will be my 6th black truck in a row.  All my trucks have been completely blacked out for the last 15 years+. I wouldn't know what to do with myself otherwise. lol.

 

Checked with Chevy.com today. Sounds like it's on a boat somewhere, could be here within the next two weeks according to my sales guy. I'll be sure to post pics on this thread when it lands. 

 

OP good luck with your search...

Relax and chill out.  Just having a little fun.  Life's too short.........

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
