      @sssparky76 Wow I run 93 octane only. Your only supposed to run premium in the 6.2 cause it has a high compression ratio. If you run 87 you could damage your engine! Anyway I drive like a goof always in the gas having fun and I average around 13.8 mpg. If I drove like grandpa it would probably be around 17 to 18mpg but I bought this truck to have fun! I have 7k miles on it. My tuck has never and will never get 87 in the tank that's most likely your problem. The motor will try to retard the timing to try to prevent engine knock when you run 87. Stop putting 87 in it now! Hopefully you have not caused any damage yet!

      I also own one. Love the truck! Wish GPS, memory seats, power closing lift gate, and towing mirrors didn't eliminate camera safety package and are power folding, were all options. They aren't. You have to get a High Country or LTZ for those features. Not even offered on a $60k loaded Trail Boss. GM is forcing customers to rely on Android Auto. I hate it so much after trying it that i unpaired my phone and eliminated the app from my phone. The map is good, but the app interferes with other apps I like to use such as Samsung Music, which I use to stream music through my trucks radio via Bluetooth.

    I have a 2019 Silverado Crew Cab LT Z71 with 5.3 in White. I really love this truck... very quiet and rides really smooth. I definitely would have liked to have the 6.2 but when I got mine inventory was pretty limited and could not find a LT with the 6.2. The 5.3 still does a great job at pulling my 23' 5,000 lbs travel trailer, I do not feel under powered at all.
    There is only one small complaint that I have with mine... I have the standard bench seating with cloth but the rear seat does not have the fold down cup holders and there is no cup holders in the doors or anywhere else in the rear unless you try to count the big pockets in the bottom of the doors. So when my kids or anyone else is riding in the rear they have no cup holders to use. I really expected something like this to be standard at least on the LT.
    I noticed the 6.2 and the Trail Boss package really takes a hit on the Payload... my truck has a payload of 1973 LBS vs 1612 LBS on the truck in this video.

    • @richardfl
      @richardfl 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @DrgnFlys Curtis is referring to the frame being wax coated on the 2019+ Silverado's. Ford and Ram have moved on to eCoating which does a lot better for rust. This is a cost-cutting measure by GM and it's unfortunate. Rusting has always been an issue because of this. The cylinder deactivation has also caused owners a lot of heartache.

      @@TheRubicon01 I’d agree on an HD. The 3.23 is fine for a light duty. The max trailering package only upgrades the rear to 3:42. You really aren’t going to see a big difference there. A lot of people want to see 4:10, but even in the HD, they stopped offering it and go 3:73. The big reason is the multi speed transmissions these days. With tow/haul mode engaged a 3:23 can feel like a 3:73 with the new transmission mapping.

    I had a 2018 Silverado Redline (Black on Black). Made in Mexico. The paint began chipping and falling off within 3 months. Complained to Chevy (more times than anyone could imagine)....they did nothing. Claimed "outside influence". By 2 years old, there were well over 1000 paint chips.
    Other problems from day one include a horrible droaning noise from drivetrain at lower rpm cruise speeds. A recurring "service safety restraint system" notification on my dash. An exhaust rattle worse than a '74 AMC Pacer.
    Traded for a RAM. I drive the same roads for almost a year. Not a single paint chip in the RAM. Not a single visit to the dealer other than an oil change.

To put it plainly Ford F150's are superior to GM's trucks and I was a GMC guy before I saw them perform in working conditions. I've spent more time at the GM dealership getting shit fixed on my 2017 Z71 "off road". The Z71 is everything but a good off road truck. The rear view mirrors are shit, the vent valve for the gas tank malfunctions constantly which means the check engine light is constantly on nullifying the remote start feature. Ergonomics are horrible inside the cab and the dashboard feels like it's sitting on top of your lap. It doesn't feel like your in a truck at all so hopefully these new trail bosses perform better then there 2017's. I'm only watching this video because my boss mentioned buying these trucks to replace our 2017's

IMO. Really considering aftermarket rims/tires; but I'm hoping the stock look grows on me as new tires/rims are expensive! I'm seeing 19.2mpg when maintaining speed limts and defiantly higher mpg when driving 55mph (55 is really painful tho).

    Amazing truck. How much did he actually pay for it?

      He didn’t specify. I’m guessing low $50ks.
