Can someone with the new Silverado please let me know the width of the truck including the mirrors, and I'm talking about the optional trailer mirrors. I need to know the width with the mirrors not folded against the body, but not extended all the way for towing.

 

Any help will be appreciated!

 

Thanks, Bob

This may not help too much, I have not measured mine, but it does fit in my garage.

 

I have 9' wide doors on the garage and it fits with 1-2" to spare on either side.

 

So I would guess it is about 8'-8" wide.

what mirrors do you have, the '01 - '05? or the '06 trailer mirrors? be more specific. My trucks mirrors stick out about 1ft when unfolded, and about another ft extended, maybe 5" folded. So take those estimate & add the same to the opposite side & figure out if your truck will fit through your garage unfolded.

I put a deposit down on a `08 Silverado 2500HD that has the large camping mirrors. My garage door are also 9' wide but the actual opening is 8' 9". I hope I at least have an inch or 2 clearance on both sides or else my wife will never be able to get it in & out.

 

Plus she has a habit of hitting things in the garage. Two years ago she let her foot slip off the brake pulling into the garage and destroyed my kids electric scooter and smashed into the garage cabinets. A few years before that she got distracted by the kids and hit the wall between the 2 garage door openings. Had to have a guy come and replace a few cinder blocks in the foundation. :cool:

 

I guess I can just not let her drive it. :D

I have an 07.5 with the "Deluxe Wide Load Heated Exterior Mirrors"

 

Yes the mirrors probably stick out about 12" each.

 

I think the body is about 80" wide, 6'-8", and the mirrors stick out about 1' in their minimum extension unfolded position, giving about 8'-8" or 104" wide.

 

I think my garage opening is 8'-10"

 

I will measure when I get home.

Since we're all bragging about the size of our mirrors, mine just has teh regular ones as you can see, but I did add the power folding option. Thank goodness I did, because it wouldn't fit in the garage if they didn't fold in. You all must have larger garage doors than me???

I measured the truck.

 

My 07.5 2500HD with "Deluxe Wide Load Heated Exterior Mirrors (RPO is DPN)" is about 101" wide.

 

My 9' garage opening is about 106" wide.

Great, thanks for the help! My garage opening is 105" wide so that will give me 2" to spare on each side. Good enough for me but I know my wife won't be able to do it. I guess I'll have to drive it in & pull it out for her. :cool:

My GM extended Towing Mirrors are 106" but I can't see the sides of my 8.5' car hauler. I wish I knew how to remove the mirror heads so that I could install longer tubing to extend them another 2" per side. Jim

Why does GM not offer power fold on those behemoths like Ford does. Only problem I see with them.

Expense. Ford only offers that on top-trim trucks I'm pretty sure. Maybe we'll see it on the new trucks. I've yet to see a 2014 with tow mirrors so who knows.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Z45 · Posted

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
