All depends on the pricing of the 22' ZR2/AT4-X.   It seems like the 22' ZR2 has everything a loaded 21' AT4 does, plus more suspension travel, better shocks, and front/rear lockers.   Not to mention the Silverado is way better for running larger tires with better wheel well clearance.   I'd imagine there's going to be guys lined up to dump their TB/AT4's for the ZR2/AT4-X.   If the trade difference wasn't that much I'd dump my 21' AT4 for a ZR2 in a heartbeat, if I wanted to stay in a pickup.  That said, who knows what the future brings, the 22' ZR2 is listed as a "limited" model so it will be interesting to see what the real 22' or 23' bring to the table.   

 

I don't think we'll see more power unless it's a twin turbo or hybrid.   The days of huge V8's are gone for general production.  The Tundra Hybrid is going to have 30% more torque than the 6.2.   I don't think GM will throw in with the Raptor R, or TRX, so no way we see a 6.2 supercharged. 

 

The problem right now is it's all a crapshoot with shortages, covid etc.  Who knows what will really be available on the ZR2 next year when it ....maybe.....starts shipping.   If demand is super high and production limited, we'll see $10-20k dealer markups, no rebates, no associate pricing etc.

I buy a new pickup every sixty-five years, so I'm good until 2085 with my 2020...

I don't know GM is the king of charging more for very little added feature, and forcing you into top packages to get the best feature combos, just look at onStar.   I would not be surprised to see som

If anyone pays over sticker price for a ZR2 with 420HP is an absolute idiot. Not worth it. That would be over the price of a Raptor and TRX territory.

100% Agreed, but there are tons of idiots out there doing just that.  Paying over MSRP for Raptors, TRX's, Bronco's, V8 Jeeps, and even AT4's.  Market Adjustments are all over the place now that cars are in such short supply and demand is so high.   I highly doubt the ZR2 will be any different especially if it's in limited supply. 

 

Is it foolish, insane, both?  Probably but remember right now people are buying Pokemon Oreo's for over $10k on ebay.......

A snowball in a crematorium has a better chance that me buying a new anything that has one ounce of tech more than I have and will be outdated and unsupported before the ink is dry on the contract. I was not raised by crows or racoons. 

 

Please please mommy

But mommy it's so....

@OnTheReel, anything to add to this since you now drive a TRX?

Lots of people have to keep up with the Joneses. I like money in my investment portfolio not GM's pocket. Makes more sense to me.

OP asked, "Is the larger infotainment and digital cluster screen enough for you to trade-in?"

 

Oh I don't know Jim, I never spent $50,000+++ on a "Infotainment" before and don't think I ever will.

I get "entertainment right her for FREE" 

😜

 

Until they stopped putting manual transmissions in trucks I wouldn't spent the extra $800 for an automatic.

I still have rollup windows and love them.

Hey, I refused to pay over MSRP for the TRX, so I could see even less of a reason to pay over on the ZR2.
 

Anyone who wants anything these days should find a dealer below MSRP and order out. Don’t pay the impatience tax on the lot, you’ll never get that money back.

 

FWIW, there are now dealers offering 9k off 2022 TRX orders. That would put a base truck around 65 and one well equipped around 70-75. GM is gonna be forced to hold the price down on the ZR2.

I plan to buy something in 2022, either a 22/23.

Very much disappointed in the console shifter.

I don't really need another pickup so leaning towards a Suburban - the button shift at least doesn't waste space.

There are many pickup trims and each trim also has many options/configurations available -- because there are so many opinions about what is 'worth it'. 

 

I never understand why people get so hung up on why / how someone else chooses to spend (or not spend).

I think the ever larger screen thing has gotten out of hand.  Not really interested in that.  Also, the shifter on the steering column like in my 21 Sierra makes people laugh sometimes .. they say it looks "dated".  but with the bucket seats and center console, it leaves me a lot more space for my stuff in the center console area than on the 22.  At least from what I can tell from the pictures.  this may sound trivial but the two round knobs and associated buttons that are vertical on my truck look like they are horizontal and down low on the 22.  My 19 Canyon had the knobs in that position and it was a problem for me.  I'm short and usually have the steering wheel pulled all the way out and tilted downwards.  In the Canyon, this blocked my view of the knobs and I had to turn them by feel...frequently putting it in 4WD Hi when I was trying to turn on the lights.  As usual, much of the new tech will only be available on the Denali, not the lowly SLT like I have.  

 

I guess Ill have to see one to really know.  The pictures dont give me enough information.

I could care less about the Joneses, but I would upgrade for Supercruise if I didn't hate the console shifter that bad. I drive about 40k a year currently, and it mostly gets expensed. So I really don't care about the cost.

Exactly. If they had used buttons, I would probably buy it even though I don't care for the new high country styling. But Supercruise with that, would have been worth the upgrade, IMO.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.
