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Even if it slower it is going to be outdated in few year use android auto with Google map much better.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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It seems fine because it pulls everything out of a hot engine. I’m not going to worry about a thimble full with 5K oil changes with synthetic oil. Every other oil change is at Honda they pull the plug. I watch them through the process. It turns out going to Honda what amounts to their normal oil change intervals.

      I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be.

      I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!

      I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify.
