Overall, I like the truck.  Just a little disappointed that threre is no 12V socket and no aux port.

Looks great, I love those wheels!

 

If could have gotten those wheels I would have left them alone....looks really good.

 

Is the 12V socket a chip shortage deal or part of the refresh interior?

 

I sure like the refresh front end better than the older ones....I just didn't like the sides being chopped off in the front.

I think the 12v socket is part of the refresh interior.  I'm going to have to add one myself to power my valentine 1.

 

I prefer the pre refresh front end.  The placement of the bowtie looks akward to me.  It's too big and needs to be moved to the center.  

 

The truck did come with the ventilated seats and the heated steering wheel even though my sticker says that it did not.  The only thing that is missing is the parking assist and the steering column lock. 

 

Unfortunately, it has DFM.  Chevrolet customer service assured me that no v8 trucks would have it when I ordered it, but they were wrong.

I have to agree with you on the bowtie, I think I'd change it to a black bowtie....the ones I have seen look a little better black.....I was surprised the new bowtie was actually bigger, but it sure is.

 

I think Chevrolet customer service just makes a good guess sometimes.

 

It's looking like the truck I will be getting is not going to have the parking assist and the steering column lock just like yours.....I don't really mind the missing steering column lock, that will just remind me a old trucks :) 

 

They are supposed to get mine in this week 🤞🏼   Took a few weeks of looking, but I found just about exactly what I wanted "in transit".....it's going to be a 4X4.....which will hurt the MPG's a little, but I will be happy with that just the same.

 

I will just be thankful to have it in the garage!

Thanks!  

 

Glacier Blue Metallic, I have wanted that color since I first got the email from Chevrolet last August for a naming contest.

 

It reminds me of the old Bright Blue Metallic they had on IROCs in the 80's....always loved that blue!

The Glacier Blue Metallic looks amazing.  I still haven't seen one in the wild. 

 

It really surpassed what I was hoping for, the metallic is so good it honestly looks like blue chrome.

 

I have only seen it twice and had to drive almost 2 hours to see it the first time, they need to get them out there for people to see!

It looks like a lot of dealers are adding a few thousand dollars to MSRP on some of these trims now. The disclaimer states supply/demand..blah blah blah. I'm curious if dealers will honor the prices quoted at the time of order. THEY BETTER!!!!

I hope so too.  My duramax elevation has gone up almost $2k since I ordered it on April 2.  I'd like to think the dealer would honour the price on the signed purchase agreement but who knows these days.  Mine is built and awaiting transport so should find out shortly.

mine truck was 68k if they add a dollar extra, I'm not getting it, america is about to go in deep recession, you are crazy if you pay any extra money for your truck. let them keep it, soon you will be able to get truck with a great discount. mark my words.

My dealer honored the original msrp when I placed my order in February. It ended up being a little more than 2k below msrp when it arrived on 5/31.

For everyone that talked to me in this thread and gave me advice, I wanted y'all to let y'all know that I finally got the truck!

 

Had to drive 3 hours to get it, but it was worth it!

 

The Glacier Blue is everything I was hoping!

 

Now for all the cover, bedrug, wheels and tires!

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
