2021 Chevy 1500 RST: Is This The Silverado To Get???

[@6996BLACKHAWK]

I have this truck and I love it, I'm spoiled now. 100%

[@JJABS811]

I just got mine, love it!

[@jeffmorse645]

All the so-called professional reviews (Car and Driver, Motortrend, etc...) all complain about the Silverado's "cheap" interior materials, but I don't think its that big of a difference from the RAM or F-150.

[@spurdosparde9487]

this is so true

[@leedanielson7452]

Nice truck! The competition between the big three is getting fierce which is good for us eager consumers....

Jeez 56k MSRP! These vehicle prices are out of control.

[@dallasfrost1996]

Nice! What do you prefer better, The F-150 or the RST?

[@angelf9800]

@@dallasfrost1996 thinking about getting this one or the gmc AT4 which one is better in your opinion

[@dallasfrost1996]

@@angelf9800 Well it depends on what you exactly want really. Are you looking for an offroad version, a base model, or perhaps sporty variant? If it's an offroad version, it's pretty self-explanatory, you should be looking at an AT4, Z71, or TrailBoss. If its a luxury version, I'd either be looking at a RAM, possibly Ford or waiting till the GM trucks get their refresh. This Silverado RST basically is an upgraded appearance trim to make the truck look a little more sporty. The GMC AT4 is the offroad version of the Sierra, which would be the equivalent to the Z71 package from Chevy, or maybe even the Trailboss. Personally, exterior styling wise I prefer the Silverado looks a lot more. However, they're both from GM, so there really isn't much difference between the 2.

[@jackcycling4403]

Have a 2020 RST same colour, xtended cab and 3.0 Duramax. Only regrets; I have the 18" wheels should have taken the 20" and the crew cab. Duramax is awesome with fuel mileage and power. I'm surprise about the harsher ride you talk about, I have the Z71 suspension and I find this truck very quiet and comfortable. Anyway, my 2 cents.

[@Edgar-gx6yn]

No way, 18 inch wheels are better than the 20. You can fit a bigger sidewall

[@jo-wb6zs]

Trail Bosses look the best imo.

[@joseramos7476]

Great bank for your buck and pretty solid, I know a lot of people who have this truck and love it

[@letswalkinthewoods1462]

Aside from moving some buttons around and a few more gadgets like auto tailgate ( no thanks). It looks very much like my 2015 LTZ cheaper looking in some aspects. Why no blinkers on the side mirrors?

[@dubltap7216]

@@icu_corey_rn_903 your in the same boat I was in 2018. I wanted the 6.2 but just couldn't find one. I bought a 2018 Silverado LTZ Redline with the 5.3. it was a great truck and I had zero issues with it. The 5.3 is a great engine but in the back of my mind I really wanted the 6.2. I finally got the chance when a 2020 Trail Boss LT came into my local dealer and they were and still are hard to find.

I would certainly give up some "power for reliability", but haven't there been problems with direct injection and cylinder deactivation (carbon coated valves, snapped lifters, etc.)? Did they figure out the horrendous transmission issues? Has the new ATF fluid stopped the slamming and water accumulation? Also heard of brand new models draining batteries for reasons dealers can't figure out. Honestly, I'd love to buy GM. Just don't want to play Russian Roulette with $50grand.
