Got a ‘21 RST 6.2

SILVER SLED · October 17, 2020

Just got a ‘21 RST ccsb satin steel 6.2. Leather buckets. I miss some of the things my 18 LTZ 6.2 had but I like some of the new features this truck has. I put Hankook Dynapro AT-2 275/60-20s, I don’t like how narrow the Goodyear Trailrunners look. Truck has the black emblem package, and I have black Z71 fender badges on order. I’m contemplating the accessory black grill, probably gonna do the muffler delete (it’s quieter than a 5.3 truck side by side), and contemplating level/lift. Probably gonna start with just a 1.5” in the front. It’s only $37. If that’s not enough I’ll go 2” in the front and either 1” or 1.5” in the rear and nothing more as far as lift goes.

Gotta feeling it’s gonna look a lot like yours.

I wouldn't put the black grille. It just looks too much like a WT, commercial fleet, or a utility truck . Looks cheap and rattle can looking. My opinion.

Congrats on your new truck. You’ll have to let us know how the rear sliding window holds up.

I thought my previous Redline edition truck would look cheap/work truck ish with its black grill and door handles, but actually looked pretty good. Probably because the black was gloss instead rough unpainted plastic. But I know how you like your chrome. I actually do to, but not on the new trucks.

This truck was actually ordered months ago. I kinda suggested a truck like this to order, because I would like it, while maintaining I was gonna buy my 18 6.2 LTZ Redline when the lease was up. Well I took this truck home for the night and drove them back to back. The rest is now history.

Lol yep. I like chrome first then color keyed. Black my least favorite. But it's whatever one likes; it's all good . Gongrats on the new truck! Post pics.

Congrats! Definitely go with the muffler delete on the 6.2. I did on mine and it's great. At $75, it sounds just as good as those $1400 systems to me for much less money. Post pics!

My last new Texas editions truck was color matched. Door handles and mirrors. I had a Ford even had color match rim inserts and grill. Along with mirrors and door handles. I’m not a fan of lots of bright.

Agreed. I have a hard time spending that much on an exhaust on an otherwise stock vehicle just for sound.
