Im looking to purchase a rally edition.  I dont like the racing stripes on the tailgate.  Are these removable?  My friend said they might be painted and or clear coated over.  If thats the case I guess I could wrap over it with the original color.  I love the 20'' wheels and step tubes.  Plus its the only double cab white silverado that I can find.

Welcome to the site.

 

Any of the stripes should just be decals/stickers. Easier to get off when they are new.

All the stripes are vinyl.  No paint, no clear.

I with you on the rally strips I don't like them either. But as said there just Vinyl decals and can be removed and that might be one thing if you buy it have the dealer remove them based on the sale to you.

In GM 'marketing' lingo LD refers to the 1500 series and HD refers to the 2500/3500 series.

 

In industry terms all these trucks are light duty.

Medium duty classes start above 3500, and the with a heavy duty class above that.

 

Each size is subject to different federal regulations. 

Licensing and registration at state/provincial level is often also dependent on 'class'

My understanding is:  In 2019, there were two 1500’s being sold.  The 1500 based on the K2 platform 2014-2018 model year which received the “LD” designation and the 2019 New Body which was based on the new T1 platform.   Similar to 2022.  The “Limited” is based on the 2019-2021 design.   While the 2022 (no Limited) is the re-fresh design.   Newdude probably can correct any mistakes I made here.

    • 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.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
