so basically the 10 speed was hand built by jesus! Is what we are trying to tell you.  :) 
( no disrespect to anyone's religion) 
 
Ford is not my Jesus. I'm still undecided about GM though.

I’m looking at getting a ‘21 Sierra 1500 5.3L 4x4. Looking at 100+ SLTs on dealer websites I found only one with 3.42s and that had the 6.2 which I do not want. What’s the deal with that? No Max Trailering Package, except for the one 6.2 previously mentioned.

Anyway, before I try and order one, I’d like to hear from you guys with the 10 speed, 5.3 with 3.23s. 

I currently have an ‘18 Silverado with 6spd and 3.42 (17” wheels) and it feels right. Seems like 10speed triple overdrive 3.23 and 20” wheels is getting pretty tall and apt to get luggy.

You might find the overall tire diameters of the tire sizes GM offers are closer than you think.

For 2021 Sierra, NHT is only offered on SLE, the 3SB version of the Elevation and the SLT. 

NHT requires either the 5.3 or 6.2,

Of those 3, the 6.2 is only available on SLT. 

Requires 18's or 20's. 

Note available with X31 or 22's.  

 

Looks like there may be some restrictions on ordering NHT for 'stock' orders as opposed to 'sold' orders. 

 

 

On the chev, NHT is available on Custom,  LT,  RST,  LTZ and HC.

(also has lots of restrictions)

 

 

 

Tow mirrors are now available without NHT, and NHT doesn't include them.

Correct about tow mirrors. My Trail Boss LT came with them from the factory. NHT is not available on Trail Boss. Truck was built June 2020.

This is beautiful! I am always arguing with people on the FB 3.0 page and the know it alls say you don’t need 3.73  now that the 10 speed is available. Put a trailer or bigger tires and tell me the gears don’t help! Thanks

Fwiw, the 'diesel off-road package' (which is the only way to order LM2/10spd  and 3.73's) is only available on some LT and RST versions, and is not available with max tow package. 

So far, the package is only offered on the chev.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
