Well, as soon as I get mine (RST W/ 6.2/10 SPEED) I'll let you know. I'm still rocking my 2012 Silverado Crew Cab Z71. 175,000 miles, no major issues. Tows our 2020 Rockwood 2509s just fine.

 

Great color choice, op.

Looks great!

This is my very first pick-up truck and I absolutely love my 2020 Duramax 3.0!  My previous daily driver was a 2014 Q5 TDI which was also a great car.  I like the Sierra more though.  Things I really like in no particular order:

 

I too use to have one of the '14 years but the 3.0L, great car, but the electronics on Audi's are so finnicky.  By far the worst of all the German brands

I still love my 2019 RST 5.3L Z71 after almost 2 years of ownership. Sure, I have my complaints. They are minor, however. Even as I was walking up to the truck this afternoon, I was filled with joy at good it looks (Satin Steel FTW!) in the parking lot.

2020 LT Z71 3.0L. Are there things I don't like? Sure, but are they deal breakers? No. Overall, do I like it better than my outgoing 2017 LT Z71 5.3? Absolutely.

 

The funny party, and this has to be nostalgia, is that I almost miss the clunky 6-speed. It felt 'trucky' to me. The 10-spd with the 3.0L is incredibly smooth that it I don't even feel like I'm driving a truck at times!

I too love my truck. I have had a couple of engine light/ no start issues that seems to be fixed after the last reflash. My only really concern is the sliding rear window leak. I got almost a year before the first leak. A new window has been installed and is so far leak free but I have real concerns about how long I can keep this truck. I had my 2011 Sierra for 9 years but if this thing leaks again I will probably trade it in and go with something else if GM can't prove this is resolved. Paying out of pocket to fix a window leak would not be cool...

Great forum topic, I had considered doing one myself. I love my 2020 TrailBoss LT! It's everything I wanted in a truck and I just love driving it. It's technically my first V8 too out of the 8 vehicles I've had in my 30 years of driving experience. As far as trucks go, I've owned multiple Tacomas (2004 TRD PreRunner and 2016 TRD OffRoad) and a 2012 F150 Ecoboost. This engine and transmission is just so smooth compared to those other trucks. I have instant power without turbo lag and my only complaint is that I don't have a cop-free long stretch of road to really exercise this engine. The interior is spacious, the infotainment system is perfectly fine (except CarPlay being washed out, but not a big deal), and the ride height is just perfect for me. I've done some light offroading and haven't had a reason to complain yet about its abilities. We'll see once we get some snow up in the mountains how well it does. Only thing I wish this had were better shocks, the Ranchos are garbage. Will be upgrading to Bilsteins pretty soon I imagine.

I completely agree.  I've been a member of many auto owner forums and they all seem to attract complaints of some sort in about 75% of the posts.  I think it's human nature to post complaints more often that one would post kudos.  That said, I have found them to be helpful in troubleshooting stuff.  I'm happy as a clam with my Sierra.  Tows like a dream and holds tons of stuff!.

Although I just got the dreaded rear window leak, I can not WAIT to get it back and start driving it again. Mine is a 2020 AT4, 6.2L w 10 speed, fully loaded and dark sky metallic, which I think is such a sweet color that changes gray, blue, green depending on the sun... All the added features from the rear view mirror camera flip to all the cameras surrounding it which helps maneuver such a big truck in parking spaces to the HUD on the windshield etc... it's such a fun truck to drive!

It's funny, I was on a 2 hour drive to our camp to plug in some heat tapes and do some other stuff and I has cruising up Interstate 81 in the rain and cool 38 degree temperatures - I looked around the interior of my GMC and though wow, what a great truck!

I still love my 2019 Sierra. No real issues to speak of in 24,000 miles. Had the CEL come one once, had something to do with a module not communicating. 30 mins for them to do some software upgrades and I was back in business. My rear slider still hasn't leaked **knocks on wood**. I plan to keep this one for a while.

I too love mine. I ordered mine in February of 2020 it came in late March and I had to wait until the end of April dealer was closed due to Covid. I have a little over 12500 miles so far other than 1 recall I have had nothing go wrong. I hated my 2017 truck which I had to buy because I wreck my 2015 truck. But this truck has been great good thing I ordered this one because GM does make this truck anymore or at least how it's equipped after 2020 no more double cabs LTZ. I went LTZ because I have had 2 mid night editions trucks back to back and I'm tired of all that black, black everything.  So yes I love my truck.

Count me in also.... Mine is a 19 LTZ with every option but max tow. 6.2 10 speed.

I have 72,000 trouble free miles, the ONLY time I have had a problem is when I hooked up  the new Pulsar LT.

I have had two back surgeries and one neck surgery, and my driver seat is very comfortable.

I will probably wait till the 2022 comes out for my next one.

Man you must drive a lot with that many miles. Proves you truly do love your truck. And yes, the 6.2L plus 10 speed does make for a wonderful driving experience.

Thus far i still Love my 21’ Sierra 3.0. Rides fantastic gets Great gas mileage, hauls the family and mutts just fine. Has more luxury and safety tech then I’ll ever use. Makes my old 17’ seem like a 1998.

I have owned a 99 and 04 Silverado and 09  and 15 Sierra, all bought new. My current 19 beats them all hands down, been very pleased.

    • I'd consider the 5.3 but not the 6.2. Last I heard, investigations were ongoing with the 6.2 failures and that there were continued failures even after engines were replaced.   I have a 3.0 diesel and regard it as the best option for a 1500. It's an excellent engine. Your preferences may differ.   Ford makes a good truck. Wouldn't steer you away from one.
    • Yeah I don’t leave ANYTHING just sitting supposedly maintaining my battery on a vehicle or RV for multiday periods. I connect a charger as needed to provide a full charge, then disconnect it and either monitor the battery or follow a set schedule for periodic charging. 
    • Get the 5.3. I`m not a Ford guy.😉   I think these L84`s are less problematic than the L83`s. Certainly less than the L87.
    • I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John
    • One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...
