Okay lets test that idea. I'll quote again for accuracy.

weakest engine Chevy has ever put in a half ton

This engine had a 216.48-cubic-inch (3.5 L) displacement with a bore and stroke of 3.5 by 3.75 inches (88.90 mm × 95.25 mm). A four-bearing crankshaft was added, along with 6.5:1 compression pistons, for 85 hp (63 kW).

 

Shall I continue?

Beautiful truck. Looks better than the '15. That '15 V6 is weak and was the weakest of the line up. Hell the 4 cyl in the T1 has more h.p. than the V6.

i've thought about it and i probably wouldn't buy mine again, or at least i wouldn't get the 6.2 again. 

 

I'd really like to get the new Ram TRX or the new Raptor once its released. the Raptor i'm thinking may edge out the TRX in performance but the TRX will have a way better interior. 

 

When i bought my AT4 i thought i could deal with the bland interior but I miss the Ram interior now. at least with the GM you get the cargo camera on the 1500 where as the Ram you only got it on the HD trucks, although i read the 21 Ram now has has the camera rear view and cargo cam on the 1500's

I'm going to let you Google that and try again. 

:idiot:

Been awhile since I've heard such an ignorant statement.

 

 

 

 

 

You can cite whatever random pseudo-knowledge that you may have but the fact remains, you are driving a $hitbox, and you come on here talking $hit to people driving the dream version of said $hitbox. LMAO & GTFOH

Some of these people are unreal. Never seen more ill-informed people defend a material purchase to the death.

Why wouldn’t you purchase the 6.2 again?

Biggest would be that its pointless, costs me a lot if extra money to run and I get nothing out of it. I had 5.3 before and it wasn't even close to my ford on gas so I didn't want another but I didn't realize at the time the 6.2 needed premium fuel.

I figured it was same as the 6.4 hemi, in the jeep or challenger it requires 91 but in the trucks it uses 87.

I  actually don't find the fuel economy that bad, yes it can be terrible if I'm getting on it, but that is 100% on me if I drive that way.  The premium was a bit of a shock to me as well, but the extra few $ for it over regular, not the end of the world in my eyes.

That depends on where you live, in canada it costs me $30 per tank. That's considerable increase in operating costs at an average driver (distance wise) im looking at $1000 per year just on fuel price difference not to mention the 6.2 being more thirsty.

 I personally love the look of the T1's, even over the RAM 1500 and F-150.  I have my truck setup just the way I like it (cosmetically/tires/shocks) but I'm having a hard time getting used to the drivers seat comfort.  That's really my only gripe.  Had I taken a much longer test drive, it probably would have swayed me away.

Love my 2019 Trail boss Custom. Of all the crew cab trucks under 40 grand otd.....I'd buy it again. If they had the 3.0 diesel last year I would have had a tougher decision to make.

Is't it? Yes weakest and yet, for me, adequate. I don't need a 12 gauge to kill a fly. 

 

Let me ask you a thoughtful question a beg of you a thoughtful response.

 

If your gal judged "better" as only a bigger and more powerful ( primary driver ? )  the same way your judging, how secure would you be in your future happiness?  OR do you prefer to believe that perhaps you are judged superior based on the totality of your qualities, features and experience? 

 

 

That said I do understand and agree to stipulate that UGLY or BEAUTY is in the eye of the beholder. It just an opinion. Lets not make this a thing where we all unzip and wave at the crowd. 

 

 

I'm ignoring Ted Turner. I don't feed trolls. This fella can't seem to tell the difference between opinions and facts.

I'm from Canada as well.  It could be different for me as I'm use to buying premium for my other cars, so the cost variation to me seems quite minimal.  I'm getting the same mileage out of the truck that I would with any of my other cars (except the wife's diesel) and price is only up maybe $6-9 per tank.

I didn't notice the 6.2L being and worse than 5.3L when I was comparing the two.

@Grumpy Bear  you now have your own thread to share your thoughts.  Let's quit arguing on this one over senseless stuff

Probably if I wasn’t retired. GMs were usually cheaper and I bought leftovers. I wouldn’t be happy with cylinder deactivation, stop start, and the massive electronics. So with the additional extended warranty for protection if it still was cheaper that the tundra I would stay with GM. If I was still working. The turbo engine Fords were a no go. Rams were usually more and have cylinder deactivation too. I like my local GM dealerships, both Chevy and GMC.

    • I Wouldn't Know Where to Begin    Oh I know where I would begin but I'm just one of over eight billion people on this rock. Eight billion versions of where the goal post is. How large it should be. How far to kick from. What ball is the right ball. Elevation. Age.....are you getting the point? It isn't about disagreeing with one individual. It's about agreeing only with one individual. One's self.   Agreement comes when multiple people hold the same point already. THAT is the goal of an education. Building the Social Contract. That thing that allows us to all read this sentence. We've agreed on the alphabet and how to arrange those letters into words we agree upon whose meanings hold true for everyone entering into that contract. Those words arranged into a sentence form an idea and several sentences strung together in a paragraph convey an argument for or against or inform the reader of a state, condition or perhaps reveal a things nature. Paint a word picture. Make oneself known.    This contract is not limited to words although they are often explained by words. Things like numbers and their usefulness. Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Music, Art and so on.    The frequency of middle C (C4) is 261.63 Hz. We build on that to make music we all can enjoy even if we all can not compose or play. You don't have to master it to make it enjoyable and useful.    So why is the Beginning so difficult? Why is agreement so elusive?   Everyone "Signs" the contract (when receiving that education in obtaining it)  but fewer and fewer in this world have any intention of living by that contract. They find exploiting that contract more advantageous. Disruption. With intent. Without intent. In Ignorance. In your face. With a double dog dare you. With a hold my beer. In resistance to that contract and in spite how it looks on us. It permeates the very air we breath.    In this way the contract is subject o advantage. Abide by it when it serves you, disregard it when it doesn't. Unpredictable and self-serving. Corrosive.....Toxic........   It says a lot about a persons character to disregard the contract, the truth, first principles. None of it good.        ********************************************************   https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/character-vs-personality-who-we-are-and-who-we-aspire-to-be/   Just an interesting article.   
    • It costs $5,250 for the Yukon Nightfall option (black wheels, emblems and illuminated black GMC grill badge). What a "deal". 
    • I keep getting the above error message on my 25 Sierra.  If I reset the infotainment unit (via the phone hang up button) it will work again for a day or 2.   But I dont want to do have to reset  all the time. Works fine in my 2023 Corvette. On both vehicles I connect wirelessly.   I have a Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, phone is up to date.  Any Ideas.  See attached  
    • LOL, its thrown a few people because this item is being talked about in the gas part of the HD forum. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to put a very brief wording in your profile with the year/GM or Chev/2500 or 3500/ and yes the 6.6 Duramax. When I joined this forum I could see the confusion ensuing for my own truck unless I had it listed with my chosen name handle unless one has a few vehicles that apply to a GM forum as that becomes confusing as well. Anyway its all good, makes for a little forum excitement 😉
    • Gasgacinch, James Gaskets. Good stuff. High tac to help hold the gasket in place while assembling parts. Fills minor surface imperfections. Slightly elastic. Gasoline / coolant / oil proof. Very handy stuff. Nothing like RTV.
