Gents - the used market is just too nuts right now so I have switched to new trucks. Looking at a 21 Sierra Elevation with x31 or a 21 Silverado RST with z71.  I know basically same truck except looks. Both 5.3, gm is 10spd auto, chevy is 8spd auto.  Priced pretty close to each other.  

 

Thoughts on which one or is it really down to my looks preference?

They aren’t going to make a factory truck level because it’s still designed to be used as a truck. If mine was leveled, it would look like a dog dragging it’s ass across a carpet any time I have my tr

I’m sure they’ll be plenty of used trucks around in a few months. It’s up 80 cents a gallon since December here. Imagine the summer driving season. Trucks will be just for work just like the old days.

Double cabs are fine in the back for little kids. But even 10 year olds were uncomfortable in mine, and forget adults on a long trip. I had to go crew cab and I’ll never go back.

I would go with the 10-speed over the 8-speed The look of the GMC is just better to me but that's all opinion of course. I don't know this for a fact but resale may also be slightly better on the GMC.

They are both beautiful trucks. Mainly comes down to your preference since they are basically the same package other than the tranny. But you are taking this from a AT4 owner [emoji23].

I like them both. Have both in the family. I love my Chevy High Country but my stepfathers Sierra SLT is a bit quieter. But from experience I would go with the 10 spd over the 8 spd. 
good luck!

man i sort of agree. I like the RST looks better but I like the 10spd. Especially with the gearing in both at 3.23 (although thats not much higher than 3.42s)

 

I expect even the 8spd will be fairly snappy with those gears right?

I'm partial to the looks of the GMC myself (yes, I have an RST), and with the added benefit of the 10 spd, I'd be looking at the GMC (all else being equal).

I hope to go see them in person this afternoon. Tell me Jim - why do you like the GM better and also - can you speak to your 8spd RST - has it been good for you? Still lots of get up and go?

I was also looking at both, going back and forth and ended up getting a Black RST with the 6.2 and 10 speed transmission, I just didnt like the huge front end of the GMC

but the 10 speed is awesome.69137FC6-534B-4961-AC10-30C2BEDBEBF8.thumb.jpeg.a09f575ce21ad16a8890534d1175e699.jpeg

To me this year has much better luxe. Also that 10 speed has been less problematic than the eight speed. Plus who doesn’t like to extra gears!

Any other options/ equipment differences between the two? Sounds like you’re leaning towards the Chevy. If the 10 speed is the only material difference, not sure you should let that sway you into a truck you don’t like as much.

 

I have the 10 speed and it’s flawless but my experiences with the 8 speed were good too. Drive both and see.

The Chevy looks like it was styled by a cross-eyed 7 year-old, while the GMC looks like it's the illegitimate love child of a Tundra and a Titan XD.  Fortunately you can't see either from the driver's seat.

 

Go with the 10 speed.

      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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
