I'd take the 2021.  Secondly because it has the 5.3l but primarily because it's a pre-refresh truck.

What is it about the Pre-Refresh over the Refresh do you like about it?

I went with a 2024. Love the new interior.  I'm not a big fan of the 19-21 dash and interior.  I really liked my 15 interior and dash.

Literally everything besides the dash.  

 

I originally went shopping for a 2023 but after finding all the de-contenting they did, combined with the complete un-mod-ability of the new electrical architecture, I can't see how the new dashboard can remotely make up for that.

 

Smaller complaints - I absolutely hate the console shifter, and the new front end makes adding a winch very difficult and unsightly.

 

In 4-ish years when I might be ready to start looking for a replacement for my 21, if someone has found a way to calibrate the refresh trucks for bigger tires and turn off DFM for a reasonable cost, then I might be willing to revisit the question.  But at this time I have zero interest in the refresh trucks.

Well about 1 week with new truck and I must say really happy with the 2.7. After 18 years of last  trucks with 5.3's it may run a little better then my 2015 did. Over all super happy with truck. Just hope it is as reliable as my 06 and 15 where.

One thing I forgot to mention, biggest thing to get used to is the sound of it. Definitely sounds like a 4 cylinder on cold starts and and hard excelerating....
