I'm ready to pull trigger on a new truck .  Been shopping and test driving for a few weeks now.  I get GM family discount through my family.

 

With all the available rebates, I can get this 2023 Silverado RST for $53,435 which is a smoking deal.  Has 6.2L, sunroof, leather, adaptive cruise, etc.  

https://www.gmfamilyfirst.com/byo-vc/client/vehicle-shopper-vdp/en/US/chevrolet-ff/silverado/2023/silverado-1500#?pagesize=24&radius=50&models=Silverado 1500&years=2023&makes=Chevrolet&postalcode=44141&filterconfigkey=Chevrolet-2023-Silverado-1500&requestedPostalcode=44141&open-panel=Powertrain&trims=RST&engineCodes=L87&scrollposition=888.8889770507812&vin=1GCUDEELXPZ135062&filtermatched=exactmatch&primarydealerdistance=32.0&bac=259406&pagenumber=1&dealerSearchBy=bac&brand=Chevrolet

 

Or I can get this loaded 2022 Denali with 6.2L, 27k miles.  has all the options, magnetic ride, tailgate speakers and tonneau cover which is very nice.

Basically this comes down to whether or not the new dash layout is worth it.  The GMC tailgate is something I actually want also - I ride dirt bikes and that tailgate is a nice feature.  The tonneau cover is worth about a grand also cuz I'd need to buy that on new truck.

I had close to the same choice when I bought my last new one. A new year old left over Denali or a new Texas Edition with the 5.3. The Texas Edition was deeply discounted. I really wanted the 6.2. In my case the Texas Edition had the E-85 option that closed the gap on the 6.2. In your case with used or used Im going new. That’s what I did.

I'd go with the 2022. I'm not a fan of the refresh console. They ruined it by placing a shifter in the middle of prime real estate where space is used and needed every trip.

I actually prefer the console shifter vs the column shifter... It feels much more natural and sporty....

 

I think the dash refresh is a huge upgrade.  The 2022 model dash is actually a half step behind the infotainment system in my 2018 Grand Cherokee that I'm getting rid of

I hate the console shifter. It isn't natural at all for someone that has logged as many miles as I have.. Pushing forward to go backwards from Park makes no logical sense. I would love to have the column shifter as it would ALSO eliminate that much more "tech for the sake of tech" crap that GM insists on stuffing into their vehicles.

I love the new dash.

I hate the console shifter. Waste of space, and it's in the road when accessing the cubby the the row of switches in front of it. 

 

Fwiw, the 'refresh' 2500/3500 didn't get stuck with the console shift -- and the SUV's didn't get stuck with the console shift.

console shifter feels natural to me after driving sporty cars and Jeep Grand Cherokees for 20 years, they all had center console shifter.  

 

So back to the trucks?

Go new is better. The new Dash and layout is so much better!

that's how I'm leaning.  The interest rate is better on new trucks also and I'm finding some incredible deals. 

 

Not exactly sure why some models are so discounted and others aren't.  There was a 5.3 Denali by me last week that was marked down $12k.  other ones on the lot, barely anything.

I went from a '21 SLT to a '23 Elevation. Both had the 5.3. For me the change in the dash was worth it, and honestly the '23 seems to ride better and also is quieter. I also noticed the 10sp in the '23 with the updated shifting programming is a significant improvement over the '21. Overall I'm much happier with the 23 than the 21.  I hope this helps.

I have a 22 LTZ ltd.

I also have a 23 High Country 6.2. 

When I get in the 22 after driving the 23 all day , It feels like going back in time to the 14 -18 chevys. Glad my wife drives the 22, she could care less😂.

I'd get the new Chevy.

I agree to but, that is where everyone I saw before the refresh wanted it because Ford and Dodge were that way.

 

With that said. I'd go for the Chevy since it's new and under full warranty without paying for an extended warranty at this time.

I would buy the new RST IMHO. You don't want somebody's old truck. $54.000 is a killer deal for the RST with the 6.2, leather and the rest. Don't get hung up about the dash or the shifter. Its a truck. Now is a great time to buy a truck. There are way too many $85.000 + trucks for sale right now. Get that new RST + a new dirt bike and put $20.000 in the bank.

I already have a new dirt bike which is why I need a truck but I like where your heads at!

      I hope to high heaven this is wrong. My Chevy farm trucks frame is lasting way longer than a newer Nissan Titan XD I got for a steal, and it only pulls trailers. A decade younger and it's frame is already way rustier than the waxed Chevy I drive across longs and ditches. Also, hasn't Ford been having tones of troubles with rusted frames?

      Batteries don’t always show signs of a few years ago my vehicle started fine in the morning and took me to work. After work the battery was completely dead and I needed a jump. No, I didn’t leave anything on and the battery was only a couple months old. It was replaced under warranty.

      AFM is confirmed in the Corvette engine, so I'm assuming the higher volume trucks will get it as well

      If his battery was that bad I would think it would have been showing signs before this that were ignored. Stinks that it happened the way it did in rush hour traffic, but this seems like a pretty fringe scenario. I don't mind it that bad and never turn it off. The only slight annoyance for me is the slight delay between brake to gas, but I have gotten used to it and figure if it can save a little gas why not.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a good correction. I think “severity” was probably the wrong word for what I meant. What I really mean is closer to event priority, relevance, and actionability — not “this code is severe” or “replace this part.” I agree that a truck can have a lot of trivial or historical communication codes, and if the product starts pushing alerts for every stored or low-value event, people will ignore it very quickly. So the alert logic would need to be filtered. For example, I would not want a random old communication code to generate a push notification by itself. A useful alert would probably need to be based on things like: - new vs historical - active vs stored - repeated vs one-time - duration of the event - whether it happened near the driver-marked symptom - whether it happened together with voltage drop, reset, bus-off, misfire, oil-pressure change, etc. - whether the same pattern repeats under similar conditions So instead of saying “severity,” maybe the product should organize events by affected system and priority. For example: Misfire event: Show misfire counts / roughness first, then fuel trims, RPM/load, DFM/AFM state if available, coolant/oil temp, voltage, and related DTCs. Oil-pressure event: Show oil pressure first, but only in context — RPM, load, oil temperature, coolant temperature, DFM/AFM state if available, voltage, and baseline comparison. Communication event: Show which module/network/message dropped, whether voltage dropped, whether the recorder reset, whether it was active or historical, and whether it repeated. Voltage/reset event: Show battery voltage, crank/wake/sleep state, module reset, communication dropouts, and what came back online first. That also solves the display-order problem you mentioned. The main report should not always show the same fixed list first. It should show the system that appears abnormal first, and then the supporting values for that system. I also agree that the truck already has an oil pressure gauge and MIL. The point would not be to duplicate those. The value would be in showing what else was happening before and after the warning or symptom. For example, if the MIL comes on for a misfire, the truck already told the driver there is a problem. The useful part would be: - which cylinder or bank looked abnormal first - whether it happened after an AFM/DFM transition - whether fuel trims were already moving - whether oil pressure or voltage changed at the same time - whether the same pattern happened previously without a MIL On the OBD port point, I think you may be right for a consumer-facing version. OBD is much easier for the average owner: - easier install - easier removal - inside the cabin - easier phone connection - easier data download - easier to include a pass-through port for another scanner OBD is also the right place for DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration information, Mode 6, and normal scan-tool parameters. The reason I was looking at ECM-side recording is that some events may be gone by the time someone plugs in a scanner, and some powertrain-side network evidence may not be available the same way through the DLC. But I agree that if an OBD-based version can capture enough useful evidence for most owners, that is probably the cleaner consumer product. Maybe the split is: - OBD/DLC version for most consumers - ECM-side version only if it proves it adds evidence that the OBD version cannot get - shop/pro version if deeper powertrain-side event evidence is actually useful So I would not want to force the inline approach if the OBD workflow solves most of the real-world problem. Your last point is probably the key product requirement: the report should be specific to the system showing the abnormality. Not “here are 50 parameters.” More like: “Misfire-related event detected. Here are the misfire/fuel/DFM/context values.” or “Oil-pressure-related event detected. Here is oil pressure compared with RPM/load/temp/baseline.” or “Communication event detected. Here is what dropped, when, and whether voltage/reset happened first.” That is a much better way to think about the report.
