So happy I bought a 2020 Double cab LTZ because it looks like it the last one's. GM has pulled this build in 2020 no more of them. You need to go to crew cab to get the LTZ package. Some of us just need that double cab over the crew. For me rear seat is for my junk . After having 2 midnight editions in a row I needed some chrome this time around looks like it will be my last double cab LTZ.

Probably just didn't sell enough to warrant this set up .  I have honestly only seen 1 DC LTZ myself in the T1s 2+ years they been out.

My local dealer never stocked any DC Silverados, I inquired and they said they would never sell and sat on the lot forever. He said they also frown on dealing with any trade-in DC trucks. 

GM normally doesn’t discontinue something that sells.....

 

To each their own, but the CC sure is nice and gives a ton of room regardless if you use it for passengers or not. Pack it full of camping gear or good space for the dogs. 

 

Nice looking truck though....

While disappointing, this is not surprising.  Most trucks are spending more time at soccer practice than on the jobsite.  With production limitations, they might as well make the ones that make the most profit.

When they put the door handles on the outside of extended cabs I guessed the configuration would be phased out.  I like the look of an extended/super cab configuration but the recent versions were simply smaller crew cabs, imo!

True,  it looks silly.

My last 2 trucks have been DC's for these 2 simple reasons;

It' s usually just me and/or one other in my truck. If I need the rear seats, it's still reasonably comfortable for normal sized people, for normal trips.
The rest of the time, it's usually either sales materials, groceries and/or dirtbike stuff in the back.

I want the 6.5' box and don't want a truck that turns like a school bus. I'm not interested in the 5.5' box, it's too small to be really useful for pickup related stuff. I use the box for deliveries, recreation and getting building supplies, among other things. I had the 5'8" box on my last truck & the 6.5 is waaaaay better. 

It's hard enough to park this one when in the city & going longer wheelbase would just make life tougher. This layout give the best of both worlds. I had a single cab at one time and have no interest in ever doing that again.

Double cab isn't leaving, just the LTZ trim level for 2021.

SLT and AT4 Double Cab are also discontinued on the GMC side. 

 

This is only on the 1500s. If you want an LTZ or SLT DC you can still get it, just gotta step up to a big boy 2500HD.

Got it, thanks.  I wonder if this may be like how they phase out other features by first relegating the availability to the base models?

Your reasons are exact same as mine for getting a DC.  I think it's the perfect compromise of both worlds.

All of this is why I was very happy to order, receive, and now drive my DC SLE. As we all know, for a 2021 DC, only had a choice between Elevation or SLE.
Fortunately enough, I actually prefer the trim options I was sort of forced into: cloth seats, minimal safety nannies, chrome bumpers (well, that was preference in choosing SLE over Elevation).

All worth it for the DC, even with the extraneous pair of door handles. ?

It’s a perfect configuration for me. Just enough cab, and a real pickup truck bed.,

Add me to the few.  2019 Silverado DC LTZ.  I hardly ever have anyone in the back, wanted the standard bed.  It had been sitting at the dealer for over 6 months.  Got a good deal so couldn't pass it up. I wasn't looking for an LTZ.

    • I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back. 
    • That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
    • That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?
    • That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?  
    • Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
