I noticed the tailpipe looks so shiny like it has a chrome/stainless end, but it isn't is it ?

 

These HD trucks with no running board look taller yet than if it has running boards hanging down. Good thing with the trim and package you went with that the wheels have the nice center hubcaps that don't cover over the lug nuts, what a pain those would be to deal with any time one wants to check the wheel lug toque etc and they don't look near as nice as these wheels/hubcaps.

 

Perhaps someone at GM saw this thread and decided to get their butt in gear and get the truck delivered !

2026 saleable units have been built and regular production is scheduled for early August.  I am only hearing of  minor changes to interior trim and some option shuffling along with some paint color changes (minor)

The big changes are coming next year in the 2027 models. I heard some of the powertrain changes are being re-evaluated and some will be walked back which I believe is a win for the customers.  

 

I have seen some Ford units at the dealer with a 2 tone paint configuration. Mostly a dark gray or black lower accent or a dark roof color. I am glad to see some 2 tone styling coming back. I assume GM will follow suit if Ford is doing it. If GM does the predictable thing it will likely be a special edition on the higher trim levels only. 

 

 

Order guide has been live for some time now.  Hardly any changes other than colors and two new wheel RPOs.

There won't be any interior trim changes with so little time left on the current T1s.

Qa@64BAwagon Did the aftermarket 2 tone for K2XX models appear in the US? I saw a few here in Canada during the model run. It looked pretty good, but the CHEVROLET graphic on the tailgate was a bit off. Im not sure if it was the font or size that didnt look right to my eyes.

 

There is a thread in the K2XX 1500 forum.

 

That all being said, I'm not sure if the T1XX 1500s w/ the swooping feature line in the fenders & front doors is conducive to a 2 tone.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
