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, 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.........

      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

      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

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      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.
