 Still not sure about the bow tie placement though.

Me either.

The more I see them the more I dislike the new bowtie location. 

Chevy always had the bowtie in the mid grille. 

This looks wonky.

I don't remember any GM vehicles having digital clusters in mid 2000s , which ones ? ( i honestly have no idea so this is why I'm asking you ) 

Regardless , you don't think in 15-20 years the engineers didn't make any progress ?  I get your skepticism , its a fair one but to compare something to 15-20 years is not really ideal given how much progress we have made . 

 

 

I did not mean GM had issues with digital clusters. Believe I said analog in the post.

 

Yes I do believe that progress is made. my posts were not meant to say digital clusters are bad. I was just saying that things can fail neither analog nor digital are more or less probable to have an issue. I’m not at all skeptical of the digital clusters. Other posters in this thread are, not me, read again.

Offer a factory supercharger on the V8s and I’ll trade up. Other than that, Not enough done for this guy! Especially with the way prices have sky-rocketed 

 

 

and @Dirk13 I know what you were referring too. The older 99-06 analog dashes were notorious for having issues of failing. There are tons of YouTube videos on how to take the dash out and fix the hiccups those dashes were known for. My 2006 trailblazer also had an issue. Wasn’t hard to fix. Just annoying!  Luckily those older vehicles were easy to take apart.

I think it looks good on the new High Country. That’s an improvement over the old style high country.

 

I believe the new custom also looks better than the old custom.

 

All other trims though I prefer the old grill.

I wasn't sure about it either but it's nice in person. It grows on you.

I actually don't mind the new bowtie placement, I've seen it in person and I don't think it comes across as awkward at all. I think it looks pretty nice.
 

I think Diesel had shown a photo of the 2019 Camaro bowtie placement earlier in this thread. Now that is definitely, um...an interesting location.

My order showed up at the dealer. Just have to work out the deal still.

So I'm back to waiting again because my dealership has had so many orders come in at the same time they are overwhelmed and are falling behind on time to do the actual deals and deliveries. So literally have to wait for them to get to me. Crazy.

Looks like an HD to me. Not a 2022 refreshed 1500. 
 

I don’t get why this is so hard.

I think the High Country looks best on the refresh. But I like my 2022 LTD High Country more because the bowtie is where it belongs.

I agree with the above.  Refresh exterior looks best on High Country and I’ll add the ZR2 as well.  And I prefer the previous WT/Custom frontend.  The matte black letters looks good on the refresh but like the letters better more centered top to bottom.

WT and Custom? Really?  Wow... that's so cheap flat black rattle can looking with dated halogen lights. We all have different taste though.

Yup really.  Next time I’ll try to hide my “I’m cheap and dated” membership card.   They’re work truck trims so I give them a pass.

    • My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.
    • Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?
    • I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions. 
    • I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that. 
    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
