Hey all, 

 

I am going to be replacing a 2015 LTZ 2WD that I absolutely loved. My son totaled it when I let him borrow it. Only thing I didn't live was the lack of 4WD, so I'll fix that.

 

I've looked at all options out there, and I really lean to the Silverado LTZ, but I'm torn on that 22 refresh. Is it really worth waiting for?

I really like my 2021 LTZ. The new interior wasn't worth wait for me. I'm happy with the older one. The premium package is great and I love the 6.2.

Definitely worth waiting for. Even if you don't like the updated interior, the older style (2022 LTD) will likely be selling at a discount once the refresh rolls out.

Biggest difference will be the interior.  The Exterior was changed very slightly ( i think only front clip) 

Engine/Trans all the same.   So you have to think is the interior important to me to pay more.  Everyone will have their own preference.

My Sales Guy that I know very well told me that he would pass on the refresh 22 as it uses the same Nav system that the current Tahoe has and it's really slow and has issues, he told me let them work that out and go for a 23.

If you are planning to order (and the inventory on lots is pretty thin, so you might have to) then it's gonna be a 2022.5 -- refreshed '22.

 

One of the plants starts producing in Feb, the second one starts in Mar -- and they are adding 1500 chev capability to Oshawa, but I don't think I've heard a date for sop of the 1500. 

 

If you want a new one and don't want the refreshed truck you'll likely need to hurry.

Even if it slower it is going to be outdated in few year use android auto with Google map much better. If I was in your shoes I would wait. My biggest bet peeve with my 19 is the interior. The designers done a great job on the exterior but completely ignored the interior. Yes it is functional and easy to use but man it looks so ugly. They rectified that on the 2022.

Thanks all. I decided to wait and made a deposit today to reserve a spot on my dealers allocation list. Hopefully won't have to wait more than a few months. 

 

Anyone have thoughts on engine? I had previously disregarded the diesel option, but the new tow rating of 13k+ combined with a mpg significantly higher than the 6.2 has me leaning diesel.

I love my 5.3. And if you get the 10speed you should be solid. I towed my 30ft ish travel trailer and never thought I was low on power or wanting more

I enjoyed my 5.3 as well but in town mileage is usually 15-16 mpg. Never expected better, but 23-25 out of the Duramax is very appealing. Always hard comparing mileage, fill up cost, etc, and the only knowledge of diesels is from when glow plugs were a thing, lol.

I have the 6.2L and love it very much, but boy does it drink gas. Step dad has a 5.3L with 10 speed and I have been so impressed with it. That combo is amazing. He averages around 22 mpgs or higher. I had two K2 5.3Ls with a 6 and 8 speed. This new combo is light years better than older ones. Even the though the power ratings haven’t changed, the truck just felt way more powerful.

I have the diesel, it is a great engine so far. 

 

We were looking at getting a tahoe for my wife, but I would only buy one if it had the 3.0l diesel (for the fuel economy). The dealerships need to get rid of these ridiculous mark ups on the tahoe. They are selling used ones in my area for 90k.

Glow plugs are still a thing...

But they are now very very fast.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Average Assembly 4.8%   That's the likelihood of a light duty vehicle reaching 250,000 miles. Link below has the stats on this. Among pickups the 350 series (Dodge)  and higher (450 Ford) are most likely and nothing American built in the lighter trucks pegs a number higher than the overall average.  200K and up is the stomping grounds of Asian vehicles. Toyota Sequoia the leader at 39.1% probability.      https://www.autoweek.com/news/a68886903/vehicles-most-likely-to-last-over-250000-miles/   Likelihood drops dramatically at 100,000 miles of reaching even 150,000 miles. 250,000 is deep in the tail of the curve.    I've been told by the 'experts' that I don't need oils of the caliber I use. My high viscosity is damaging my motors. Ash content it to high and WILL foul plugs and kill cats and O2's. I don't need that much ZDP; my choice is over added and not cutting edge. I change it to often. I baby them to much.    Three Honda's reached 200K + and none used oil. All Red Line motors. All sold to friends or family. One Toyota reached 300K using oil, Pennzoil. Dizzy 300K using QSUD until it cashed the rings at 80K then whatever but often ever since. Did you know this engine still sports the OEM timing chain and is dead silent? Pepper spitting into the wind short of 200K, Red Line and changed often. Uses zero oil. A HPFP and a pinion seal. Still using most parts it left Fort Wayne with. So 50% of my vehicles have gone past 250K and 100% of the last half dozen past 200K. Of these two using "shelf oils' did so using abnormal oil and the four that used a premium boutique oil did not. There might be something there the experts have missed. 🤔

      “Service Emission System” & “175 miles until “65 MPH Max Speed”

      By ManyCamaroz · Posted

      It's not that it sits for extended periods. I drive it every couple of weeks. However, I did consider draining the DEF and replacing it.    Don't you get a "Poor quality DEF warning" if its bad?

      Try draining the def and relacing with new if it has been sitting for a long time. Def does go bad after a little while.

      2015 Silverado with HUD retrofit/upgrade.

      By Thestonedone · Posted

      Thanks @Viktorrocks15 if you are still out there.   I followed your instructions and worked out great, went to the scrap yard and procured 2016 escalade cluster, hud, bezel, and switch. Got lucky and found a Camaro in the u-pull with the HUD bezel.   I made my own harness with these diagrams: https://www.gmupfitter.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/23_Escalade_Escalade_ESV_Electrical_Body_Builder_SM_en_US_2022OCT25.pdf   I used escalade cluster because its the best one that will work IMO. Still need to get it programmed but it looks really good.
