Just looking on the supplier discount website there seems to be several not too far from Eugene. When I was shopping one was listed that was already gone and a few were in transit. I wanted an RST CC 4x4 6.2 with the 6.5 bed and max trailering, there were 2 available in the country at the time out of like 35k trucks.  

 

 

Supplier price is $56,389 on that one. https://www.powergmofnewport.com/new-Newport-2021-Chevrolet-Silverado+1500-LT+Trail+Boss-3GCPYFEL6MG224145

There’s a shortage on resistors for computer chips due to the pandemic which has slowed the production of a lot of things, including these trucks. That’s why you can’t find anything.

Not knocking the 5.3.  It's a durable engine to say the least but drive them side by side like I did (several times) or just take a look at the numbers.  The 5.3 w a 10 speed does a mid-15 second 1/4

Not knocking the 5.3.  It's a durable engine to say the least but drive them side by side like I did (several times) or just take a look at the numbers.  The 5.3 w a 10 speed does a mid-15 second 1/4 while my 6.2 hits 13.9.  Even high up in the mountains, TFL put the 5.3 at 9.46 0-60 with the 6.2 doing it in 7.7.

 

If OP has done what I have and wants that smash your head into the headrest feel.. wait it out, they will be built again.

I searched a week ago for a Custom TB w/ 6.2 for my neighbor. That trim and engine combo are unicorns. I searched California, Utah, Nevada, and got 0 hits. Found one in Flagstaff, AZ that is blue. My neighbor didn't want blue. Working with a dealer he found a white one in Texas that he should have in his driveway in about a week.

Hi all,

 

How are people managing to get a Silverado with the 6.2L V8?

 

I'm in Oregon and I can't find a single one in a 200+ mile radius. I'm starting to wonder I'm going to be forced to settle for the 5.3?

 

The Custom Trail Boss with a 6.2L seems like the most amazing truck you can get for the money. I just wish I could actually get one.

 

Any tips or tricks besides factory ordering which takes extremely long?

Go further out than 200 miles. Also contact the dealer near you and have them search. They can do better at searching that the Chevy website inventory search feature.

Getting a 5.3 is definitely settling if OP wants a 6.2. But even then the 6.2 has the 10 speed and most of the 5.3s have the 8 speed. You have to look at the whole picture. However I’m sure your 5.3 is nice as well.

OP is looking for a Custom Trail Boss. The 5.3 in that trim gets the 6-speed, not the 8-speed.

Good catch. Which in my opinion may be even worse than the 8. My truck had 26k miles on it when I sold it. I never did get the shudder but man than thing was the chunkiest shifting transmission I’ve ever had.

You might have to further your range. I’ve been kinda searching for a unique type of camaro and had to widen my search to 500 miles or more. If u want it bad enough. Can always get a plane ticket. Fly out and then drive it home.  Good luck with your search. 


Unique camaro?

General Motors Lansing Grand River Plant Shutdown To Affect Production Of 5,100 Units

 

The plant shutdown was brought on by the ongoing semiconductor supply shortage, which has been affecting automotive production across the globe in recent weeks. Automakers like GM are battling with the consumer electronics and medical equipment industries for access to microchips as suppliers in China, Taiwan, Korea and elsewhere try to ramp up production and keep up with growing demand.

Yes one with magnetic ride control, convertible, and 10 spd. The ones here in Midwest don’t have the magna-ride. And if they do, they aren’t convertibles or 10 speed. I found a brand new 2019 ZL1 convertible 10 spd but idk if I wanna drop $68k. That’s a lot of $$$. Plus, I’ll never take it to the track and in the real world the SS has plenty of HP/TQ and I can always add a supercharger down the line. Wife and I just want a nice cruiser to go to lake house with.

Yes it is. Unreal how much nicer it is compared to a stock SS. Rented one in Vegas last year   2019 2SS black convertible. Absolutely loved it. I truly like the 19 body style also. Something about the bow tie in The bumper just sets it off. And since there is only one year like that. Makes it even more unique.

They're pulling AFM from some vehicles because of the chip shortage. A no-AFM 5.3 with the 6-speed sounds like a pretty good truck.

They're getting rid of the whole engine and transmission for 2022

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
