Hi all,

I just traded my Sierra Denali. It was a 5.3, with the technology package.

Great vehicle but needed more cab room.

 

Anyways, I got 60k for my trade, paid 64k over a year ago with 18k miles on it now.

i was happy in only losing 4K.
 

Got a well equipped 2021 Suburban Z71.

I love the look of it, even fits in my garage better since 6 inches shorter.

 

I do miss HUD, Front camera and HD rear view mirror.

Absolutely love the front end and it feels lifted. Kind of reminds me of the Trail Boss.

I would not compare it to my Rubicon in off-roading, but I bet the Z71 would be great at over-landing.

 

just sold on the looks of it. Not missing the Sierra. I wish that I could add the HD rear view mirror of HUD to my new Z71.

Nice.   I'm going to buy a Suburban Z71 as soon as I find the right truck and the right price.   

 

You've got the same color I want.  Did you get the sunroof or the digital gauges?  I won't buy one with a roof, but I prefer the digital gauges.  

 

The Z71 is the sweet spot in the Suburban lineup.

Thanks, I went with the panoramic moon roof and the 2nd row bucket seats. Other than that no other extras. MSRP was 66k.

Mine came with the analog gauges. Had the digital in my Sierra but not missing it too much.

 

The Z71 Suburban looks the best to me out of the Suburbans and Tahoe’s. Most of my past cars were Wranglers and 4Runners.

Do you guys know if those middle captain chairs can be swapped out for a bench seat? Thanks!

The 2nd row captains chairs are an upgrade. The RST package seemed to include the 2nd row bench.

I am not 100% sure if you can swap out for a bench, since the captains chair move forward and appear to be bolted down.

Are you happy with the trade? Have you done any upgrade on your Suburban? 

Very happy with the trade. Like the look of the Z71 so much more.

I miss some of the tech features of the Denali, but not enough to want to trade back.

 

I put in the same GM floor liners that I had in the GMC. Kept the carpet looking perfect. I may go for the lighted front Chevy logo, or the rear cargo net for storage.


I may go for a utility trailer for the Suburban or the Jeep.

Nice, OP! I was very close to pulling the trigger in trading my Silverado RST Z71 for an AT4 Yukon (I wanted the better interior tech and the eLSD rear). I just couldn't do it because the discounts were non-existent, and the residual on the big SUVs are way worse than the full size trucks. 

 

Also, I just couldn't envision my life without a truck bed.

      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.

      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.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
