Ive been thinking about trading my truck for another elevation but with the 10 spd for a few months. Now with GM Employee pricing and the used truck market being strong, its looking like I can upgrade to a 21 Elevation 5.3 10 Spd with a few more options than mine for peanuts. Anyone else noticing the same thing? The more I think about it ive seen very few 2019+ used for sale. 

Now....Pacific Blue Metallic or stick with Satin Steel?

I was torn between those two colors as well. My wife just bought a Satin Steel Terrain, so I got the Pacific Blue 2021 Sierra and I absolutely love it.

Used prices / trade-in values are unusually high here as well. 

 

New lots have new inventory improved somewhat, but are still way way below normal levels.

Dealers are parking vehicles creatively to make it look like they have more vehicles than they do.

I'm really thinking about trading for an AT4 with the 3.0 & 10-speed. GM is finally starting to offer some decent rebates again and trade-in values are still inflated. Just a matter of finding one within a reasonable distance with the options/color I want.

Just traded my 15 All Terrian for 31k and got really good rebates on a 21 AT4. Got into a $66,000 truck for pennies. Last year was offered 24 for the same truck with less miles.

Go to KBB's site and do their cash offer. You will be surprised how accurate they will be on what your trade in is. I've bought 5 trucks in the last month for work and new was considerably better than used. Used car pricing has exploded because of COVID.

I would push for an AT4 myself but I dont want a crew cab. Apparently all 21 AT4s are, which is lame. Double Cab long bed is most practical for me

Nows the time to upgrade, if you can find one to your liking on the dealer lots.  In our area Trade in values are sky high. I traded a 17’ I bought two and half years ago for a 21’ 3.0. They gave me almost 34k for the 17’. I got a 62k 3.0 for mid 40’s, if I choice to buy out the lease. Only thing you need to watch is the interest rates especially on the 21’s depending on your area.

Mid-40's on the lease buy-out AFTER you make 25K in lease payments.

It’s actually 22K in lease payments and a 34K lease buy-out.

The long bed is only available with a regular cab.  Double cab only comes with a standard bed and crew cab can be had with a standard bed or short bed.

Same here. Trade values are through the roof. Almost a no brainer if you’re planning on getting into a new one anytime soon. Sitting in a 66k truck right now for less than my 15 Sierra.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
