Yes! I was originally going to get a 2019 AT4. I test drove one, and like a previous comment said "the seats are horrible!" Before I ordered mine I test drove a 2019 AT4 and thought the same thing, "The seats are stiff and uncomfortable, but maybe they're just so new and haven't broken in yet." I wanted a 6-1/2' box, not the 5-1/2' box. Apparently all the dealerships are mostly trying to sell 5-1/2' boxes because they searched a 500 mile radius and couldn't find a single AT4 with a 6-1/2' box. They told me I'd have to order one from the factory...no biggie, I wasn't in any rush; plus that gave me some time to sell my Ford Escape. Once I got looking at the difference between the 19's and the 20's I noticed the 20's have adaptive cruise control, I ordered a 20 instead of a 19 for only $250 more. Once I got mine the seats were nice & soft, nothing like the stiff-as-a-board ones I remembered in the 19 that I test drove.

 

It's had a couple issues here and there, but the dealership has been pretty good about fixing them right away. I did have to get the entire nav/xm/radio/etc thing replaced within the first month or so of having it because it wouldn't turn on some times. It still has it's little hiccups now & again, but so does my phone, I guess.

 

All in all, I've only had it for a about a year, but it's been a pretty good truck so far. My dog likes it too; 14 years old and she still goes pretty much everywhere with me. My dad even just recently bought a 2020 3/4 ton Denali diesel. His only complaint is that his trailering mirrors on his sit up so high they cause a heck of a blind spot up front.

For those new to the thread/TLDR version:   Some: "No I wouldn't buy this again." Some Others: "Yes I would, I love it." Grumpy Bear: "Rebuy? I wouldn't buy it to begin with!"

No offense Grumpy but we have very different tastes when it comes to looks and being vocal about calling other trucks UGLY...

Did you miss the REBUY part? You know, as in buy again...   For someone who got pissy when others chimed in on his stupid gas oil mix thread, you’ve had no problem responding three times in

I leave my rear seats in the up position and keep a doggy bed on the floor.  Your dog looks almost the same as mine, right down to the graying snout.

She's my baby! She had a stroke a few months ago; ever since then I've been bringing her to work with me every day. That's why her legs have shaved spots, from IV's when she stayed 3 days in the ICU at the vet clinic, the hair just never grew back.

 

Maybe the king size fitted sheet on the back seat, with the 2 small bungee cords around the head rests to hold it up, should be something to post on the MOD forum lol ?

2020 High Country 5.3 with 10 Speed here.  Yes, I would buy again. To my family and I the truck is roomy and comfortable. The interior isn't the most modern but it has all the features one would need and plenty of additional creature comforts.

Other than that, wish I had gotten the front camera. 

Same here. 

 

I really love my RST. The only buyer's remorse I have is not having the option in that trim to get the 360 camera package (including the rearview mirror camera) and the ventilated seats. 

 

If I did it over (which I plan to do when the 2022's come out), I'd get the 6.2L/10sp and the aforementioned tech add-ons. Otherwise, I LOVE my Silverado... especially the color-matched styling.

Yep, at least until I see what the new Tundra is like. I don't trust newer GM trucks to be reliable past 100k..... nor Ram or Ford.... but I hated test driving the 2 Tundra's I checked out before grabbing my 20 Chevy. I'd rather be happy in something that lasts 100k than miserable in something that lasts 300k.

I'm really jealous of all of you that have had no problems.

I feel for those who've had problems. I've read many issues on the forum and what gets me is when someone has an issue and brings it to the dealer and they're told "it's normal". So BS! Tell them if it's normal and they all do it lets go check 10 trucks on the lot then we'll see if "it's normal"

What gets me is more that most of the issues I have occur randomly and are usually fixed after the truck has been off for a while and restarted. Can't duplicate the majority of them when I need to show them to the dealer, but they keep occurring and doesn't seem like anyone knows what to do about it. At least with my Ford I had to lemon law, the problems were clear and consistent.

2014 GMC Sierra Denali with 117,000 miles. Literally one thing after another over the last year or so. Getting so tired of GM. Seems like they start to fall apart after 100k miles despite meticulous maintenance. Plenty of other repairs since new. Had all of the well know issues known to the 2014-2018 trucks. 
 

Thinking about getting rid of this truck and getting new. Cross shopping all the brands. Would you rebuy a 2019 or 2020 truck given your experience with the brand? I’m mostly interested in reliability and trouble-free ownership as long as realistically possible. I’ve owned many GM vehicles in my life but this has been by far the one that needed the most trips to dealer/repair shops. 

NO! That said I am perfectly satisfied with my 2015 over it's 125 K trouble free miles. Only my 98 Honda Civic HX was a better overall vehicle. 

 

The T1, IMHO, is about as ugly a duckling as has ever been made. If and when the my K2 peters out I'm on to Dodge IF there is still a RC available. If not a full size family car. Yea, even it if means Asian. Genesis? Lincoln?  The earth will sprout a second sun before I drive an SUV.

I did ...

 

Had a 19 High Country with 6.2L ...

 

Could not take the crappy mileage anymore... 

 

That combined with the long 0% financing ... 

 

I got a 20 GMC Denali with the 3L diesel ...

 

Other than missing the power tail gate, love the 20.

One year and 16,000 miles with zero problems except for some reprogramming and recalls. I would absolutely rebuy. In fact, If I could find a deal, I'd get a 20 AT4 right now.

Did they actually use different seats for the 2020 model? Anyone know?

      Atlas,   Then following your logic we can't believe any story that the MSM produces? I mean it's documented they heavily donate to Democrat candidates. Vote Democrat in high percentages. Many MSM talents are married to Democrat politicians, Gov. employees. That goes for on-air and off, personalities and reporters. So they would all be biased and nothing they produce is to be believed in your mind?   Again the article simply was about ways AI can be used for pricing products. Nothing discounted current situations as a factor.    Again keep looking through your left/right lenses. I don't live my life that way.   And as a heads up this thread will be cleaned up again as much of this is off topic and is receiving

      So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.
