Saw this on a Facebook page I joined last week. Pretty sharp looking truck.

Guess they are still sold in (stock, not like this) Canada and Mexico. This one is for sale in California.

I read article a while back where they asked someone from GM if they would bring back the single cab short bed trucks to the USA and he said that it isn't off the table so there is still hope. The trucks are built in the US but then shipped out to other world markets like the middle east.

That looks like a long bed to me and is sold here as a WT.

It's a 6.5 bed.

 

Long beds are 8ft and the distance between the cab and wheel well is much larger.

Shrug.. maybe the angles the shots are taken differ, but what you posted vs the OP look the same to me.  That bed doesn't look like a short or standard

I would actually consider a reg cab, standard bed SLT or version of this....I bought dbl cab after having crew cab but this would work for me.....some don't need room for families or they have other vehicles.....even a dbl cab Denali or AT4

The issue is, they'd sell a few thousand of those.  Pretty edge-case

Maybe an easier way to tell is look at the very bottom body line on that work truck. The body line that is 2 inches up, runs about 20 inches down from the start of the bed and is even with the bottom of the door. You can see that line in the first trucks picture, that line is much shorter even with the difference in angle of the picture.

Regular cab is only available with long bed in Canada. 

 

Regular cab with standard bed (6.5ft) is no longer available.

 

I'm not aware that a regular cab short bed  (5'8") was ever sold by GM anywhere (yes, there are customs done that way)

Good to know.

 

It is a 2020, thought it was pretty cool, made me miss my lowered 2004 RCSB.

As impractical as it would be for me with a kid right now, I would love a regular cab 6.5' box LT Trail Boss

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
