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.

oh oh, another dealer just emailed me with a 21 2lt Trail Boss. Pricing is near the same.  It is 5.3 with 10spd also.  Eeek...

 

to speak to this point. Would you say a x31 Elevation and a Trail Boss should be close in price?

That's a nice looking truck. I have a Sierra SLT with the X31 package, Love the truck, The 10 speed really is amazing.

You're getting a better deal if it's a TB with 2LT trim package. If you like the looks of the TB (best looking Silverados, IMO), and don't mind the extra 2" of truck, I would be all over that TB.

GMC went cheap on the Elevation with the incandescent taillights and turn signals, vs. the LEDs on ALL other GMC models. At least you get LEDs for taillights on the RST. 

 

 

Sounds like it doesn't matter to the OP,  but

 

Base sierra, SLE and both versions of elevation get:

 -- Headlamps, LED reflector with incandescent turn signals and LED signature Daytime Running Lamps

 -- Taillamps, LED tail and stop light, with incandescent reverse light

 

SLT, AT4 adn Denali get:

 -- Headlamps, LED reflector (high intensity) with LED turn signals and LED signature Daytime Running Lamps

 -- Taillamps, LED signature taillight, with LED stop and reverse light

I know that’s what the order guide states however I am fairly confident that is an error. The C shaped taillight portion does appear to be LED, but you can see a bulb socket and reflector plainly in the center of the taillight on base/SLE/Elevation trucks. It would have to account for the turn/stop light. Perhaps an owner can confirm?E7A5AFB4-6AB5-4B5C-80A3-447A5589CC87.thumb.jpeg.0be5e358c571b39846b5a9ead39adde2.jpegDC61C9CC-7AF9-4B1B-BEE3-4F8BFCC8E506.thumb.jpeg.00bda4a0d2dd0340aae3c0c34dceaa71.jpegE4586AE6-0D6D-4D13-A256-72FF27C0B0BC.thumb.jpeg.a7aaae74d78c1cc15f9e711c0a88cd77.jpeg

That’s a great looking truck!  Only change I would get is color matched gloss fender trim.

i didnt even notice that so i guess its not important to me lol.

 

Now i need to decide on color. White as shown or i can get satin steel, cardinal red or pacific blue.  The red is nice actually.  Any thoughts?

I have blue, so I'm biased. Go red. Just kidding. Her whatever you think is best, but for the money I'd rather go with the 2LT Trail Boss, even if it is brown.

latest update folks. Crushed that the above red one sold.

 

White one is still in play but man I fell hard for that red one.

 

Another dealer reached out today and told me a red one as above is coming but it is 3.0 TD.  I am such a v8 guy but maybe....

 

Thoughts?

You're opening an entirely new can of worms now, Lol! 

 

The 3.0 fan club gains vibrant members by the day. Personally, I'm going to get a 3.0L when I trade my 2019 5.3L later this year or early next. Very similar driving characteristics, but with a LOT better MPG and torque. 

 

Biggest pill to swallow for me will be losing the rumble of my V8 catback. :(

yeah and I worry about that as pathetic as it might be lol.

 

Can I ask the forum to explain to me the difference between 1lt and 2lt - i think i owe it to myself to at least consider the Silverado 2lt trailboss I spoke of.

 

I test drove a Silverado and a Sierra on the weekend. Both 5.3, Chevy with 8spd, GM with 10spd - GM felt alot better on the road - do you think some of that is the 8spd vs the 10spd?  (as info both trucks were z71 equipped)

Trail Boss LT is only available as a 2LT. The difference between a 2LT and 1LT has always been features. The 2LT has more of them. If you look at Chevy's website you'll notice the Trail Boss LT is sandwiched between LT and LTZ. The starting prices reflect that, too.

 

I've driven both the 8-speed and 10-speed. The difference between the 2 is obvious. What you may have experienced was likely the difference in the transmissions.

 

As for engines, the 5.3 is no slouch, but the torque of the 3.0 is the same as the 6.2. That torque also peaks sooner. The biggest Dewberry I've heard about the 3.0, and this is why I avoided it and went with the 6.2, is at 150,000 miles the routine maintenance requires the transmission to be pulled. The cost of this routine maintenance is said to be a few thousand dollars. I was not comfortable with this.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
