Redesigned interior/dash for higher trim level models.

H.P./torque increase for Duramax.

New ZR2/AT4X off-road models

 

These changes are rumored:

 

H.P./torque increase for L8T 6.6L gasoline engine.

Not sure but here is the list of my complaints on my 21.  I have an LT diesel but its fairly optioned out LT and some of these things there are no excuse.

 

Nothing in particular order.

 

-Mirrors create blind spots looking forward or left or right, need to be looked at in either size, shape or location

-Bed light should have a button like ford in the bed to turn it off and on

-Power mirrors should have an option to fold them in and out based off turning the key on and off

-Dash/infotainment center is an embarrassment for a 70k truck.   Same crap they have had in there since 2014, the whole thing needs to re done

-The app needs to be free at least remote start etc, like others out there,  stupid I have to pay $14 a month

-Would like to see an electric helper heater for a diesel like ford has,  this truck heats up fairly quick compared to other diesels but that sup heater would be a good thing

-Strap for hood to pull down once open

-cameras on the LT are junk,  bed camera that is on the rear view mirror is not great and you cant see at night with it

-Goes for a lot of GM trucks the whole console on bucket seats could be look at it its just a big spot for junk need to compartmentalize it, just clean it up

-Front end needs some help,  luckily the body color grill and bumper makes it look tolerable the chrome not so much

-For the love of god this goes for lots of brands HD trucks, please design a wheel that doesnt look ridiculous. 

- passenger window show be auto up

Price increases would be standard fare.  Although rumor has it, production may be back to quasi-normal, and "Truck Month" will actually mean something again. :thumbs:

 

Would love to see a sunroof option on the extended cab, and a panoramic sunroof on the crew cab. 🤩

Also for those of us who chose the upfitter switches, install the darned kit during the build.  Tossing a kit in a box when dealers don't even want to do the install is really sad.

An up-rated 5th wheel/goose neck pin rating would be very helpful.  I just looked at a new cattle trailer, and may need to go Dodge/Ford to be "legit" for the road.  In which case, it won't matter what else Chevy does.

What does upgraded FW/GN pin mean?  Capability of truck (GVW, GCW) or hitch weight capability?

Hitch weight capability.  It is well under the payload, which penalizes the truck compared to it's competition.

ETA:  live stock & horse trailers have the axles way back to improve the ride quality. Some equipment trailers are the same setup too.  Gooseneck weight is heavy compared to travel trailers.

From what I can see the conventional max tongue weight is 10% of the max towing capacity and 15% for the gooseneck max tongue weight that you see on your sticker. My truck is a '21 CCSB Duramax, 18,500 max towing = 1850 conventional max tongue and 2775 gooseneck max tongue weight. Gas has a bit lower towing capacity and so those numbers are lower. I don't know how the other brands figure their numbers, but would be curious if they are more than the 10%/15% numbers I'm seeing for our trucks.

Ford & Dodge do not list a max tongue/king pin weight on their capacity label.  So if your payload is 3,500lbs, there is nothing with Ford or Dodge on the door capacity label that says you have to tow less based on the "king pin capacity."  The towing guide states  tongue/king pin should be 10/15% and not to exceed GAWR or GVW/GCW. But does not mandate a specific weight limit on the king pin.

Critical with livestock/horse and some equipment trailers because of how far back the axles are.   I was talking with the local feather lite dealer about a 24' stock trailer.  He said when he's fully loaded he sees tongue weights in excess of the 2,460 rating of my truck.  4,000 lbs of trailer, and somewhere up to 11,000 lbs of beef on the hoof.  This would be under GVW, GAWR, GCW, but about 1,000 lbs over the king pin weight as stated on the label of my current truck.  There isn't enough room behind the axle of a stock trailer to get down to 15%.  So if I want to haul my own cattle, I'd have to change trucks due to the way GM creates the capacity label.

I would doubt that Chevy would handicap themselves like that. Out of curiosity I read the owners manual on a 2022 Ford F-250 and it states “The trailer tongue weight should never exceed 10% of the maximum towing capacity when towing a conventional trailer, and should never exceed 15% of the maximum towing capacity when towing a fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailer.”.  Looks like Chevy is just doing us a favor by putting it on the sticker.

Actually, Ford has the same limitation, they just bury it in the owner's manual.

 

From page 329 of the 2022 F350 Owner's Manual:

 

 "The trailer tongue weight should never exceed 10% of the maximum towing capacity when towing a conventional trailer, and should never exceed 15% of the maximum towing capacity when towing a fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailer."

 

However, since the 7.3 with 4.30 gears is rated at 20,200 pounds for gooseneck (crew cab 4x4), 15% gives you 3030 pounds, versus 2460 pounds for a gas 6.6 GM.

 

This only applies to the 7.3 with 4.30 gears.  With 3.73 gears or any 6.2, they are very close to GM and, in some cases, a bit lower. 

 

With conventional towing, even the 7.3 with 4.30 gears is maxed out at 15,000, so it would only gain 50 pounds in tongue weight.

 

I think this is all tied to the SAE rating.

It is no favor to us. It is a favor to their legal department.

DOT does not regulate king pin weight ratio.  It is GVW, GCW and GAWR. 

when you start hauling different trailers with different product you'll see how limiting this spec on the label is.

The trailer label is a reference for J2807 for that model.  That hitch is good to 15% of 36,000 lbs for GN, 15% of 32,000 lbs for 5th wheel, and 10% of 20,000 lbs for conventional.

 

If you want to 30% pin on a 10k trailer, you can as long you stay within the GAWRs, GVW, payload, and GCW.

 

The other values on the trailer label are reference for what that model is certified to for SAE J2807.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
