[@theglowcloud2215]

Cylinder deactivation on GMT900 was a huge pain in the ass. And it didn't really improve fuel economy much at all.

Yeah until they had fused into a solid chunk of metal from rust and corrosion. Every one I knew about in new england got sent to the scrap yard because every component underneath was literally disintegrating, even if the powertrain was still ok.

I've owned two GMT800s. The first was a 2002 2500HD 6.0L, which I traded in back in 2009 for a truck I still own, a 2009 3500HD Duramax. In 2014 I bought a 2006 2500HD with the LBZ Duramax, but only kept it two years. I bought it to use for RV Transport, but gave up that "job" in favor of a real job. A lot of younger folk don't understand that the "Silverado" name was just a trim level up until 1999. Thanks for pointing out that detail. That's what I love about your team - you get the details correct!

[@anthonyc1883]

I had owned a used 1st gen Silverado GMT800 truck and sold it in 2012 with 380k on the clock. The truck performed very well. Skipped over a few years and my next truck was a used 2015 F150 lariat crew cab. And this year I came full circle back to GM with a SEV RST. And by far the new truck is the most capable of the three trucks and the easiest to drive, tow and haul. Plus I cut my operating cost down 2/3s as a daily driver. I enjoyed my trucks in the past, however I am getting the most enjoyment road tripping with this new truck.

Biggest letdown in 20 years is the trucks still have low efficiency on fuel. I drive a 2004 GMC SIERRA reg cab short bed Z71 5.3 and I still average 16mpg after 266k miles. Now if I want to get the same truck I have to get a turbo 4 cylinder that maybe averages 18/19. And for $45k, I paid $27k for mine in 2004. I'll keep driving it too.

I know people that literally had theirs towed to the junk yard with good motor and transmissions because the rest of the vehicle was so badly corroded that it couldnt even be worked on. simple brake or suspension work became multi-day jobs because of the cutting and hacking and PB blasting that needed to be done to get bolts and parts separated.

I see 2 good use cases for sidewinder: lining up a hitch, or creating space to swing while backing out in a parking lot if someone parked too close on one side.

[@aerynlovell4754]

The Sidewinder feature could be useful off-road to maneuver around trees or rocks. I have seen some custom 4x4s that had rear wheel steering added to make it easier to get the truck positioned on the perfect line. The only thing I hate about the Sidewinder, and all features on modern vehicles, is the long animation sequence on the screen. I'm an impatient person so when I push a button I expect the system to turn on without all the visual garbage. I prefer toggle switches because when I want something turned on I flip it up and by looking at the position of the switch I can tell it's on. When I want it turned off I flick the switch down and it's off. There is no ridiculous visual sequence to waste my time. My favorite thing about toggle switches is that when they are turned off the vehicle computer can't automatically turn any of those systems on.

[@jg8263]

@aerynlovell4754 agree about the animation, and the off road use. Sadly, I suspect the vast majority of equipped Silverados won't ever see time off road, despite the awesome feature.

[@aerynlovell4754]

@jg8263 Just like the vast majority of ZR2 trucks (with dual lockers) will never go off-road. Maybe the second or third owner of a ZR2 will use it off-road, but I think they are the new Jeep. Over the years, I would see several Jeeps on the road with every off-road attachment like Jerry cans, shovel, high-lift jack, etc, but the paint was perfect, and there were no scratches on the rock sliders. People like to pose for pictures with their "hard core" 4x4s but never take them off-road.

Recently bought a low mile 2018 to upgrade thinking I was pushing my luck at 200k with the old GMT800. Big mistake, it is nicer in almost every way but the AFM and transmissions are a big problem with the newer ones. Glad I kept the old one around

[@Cloud30000]

I wish the removable “midgate” was not unique to the Silverado EV (and discontinued models), as it seems like there is nothing preventing ICE trucks from implementing it and helps to mitigate the crew cabs having a smaller bed. Obviously, you aren’t filling it with mulch, but it sure makes hauling 10 foot pipes and poles easier on the rare (for most homeowners not using it professionally for construction) occasion that’s needed. I can comfortably hang an 8’ board or plywood out the end of the tailgate, but 10’ makes me nervous when people pull up behind me, even when it’s flagged in orange.

On body on frame pickups the cab is separate from the bed, this mid-gate feature is typically on unibody vehicles.

[@kelviskelvis7140]

The Avalanche was based on the Suburban which had a frame. Today it is wholly different, the SEV is a body on battery. The battery is the rigid structure which the body rides on and the bed is not separate from the cab. The chassis is the battery. I have seen my truck on a lift, that is a huge battery. So no removable “midgate” on ICE trucks is possible.

@@kelviskelvis7140 The SEV is a unibody, the battery box is not the vehicle frame.

They moved back home and he drove it for another year and it was deemed unsafe and unrepairable when the inspection came. I was really really hoping to get that truck from him some day and keep it in really nice shape for another 20 years 😢 he was still able to trade it in though for 8k and bought a new Nissan frontier

[@Name-kd5jj]

Something has seemed to change is the size. The new trucks feel so much bigger. But I looked it up and they're not really that much bigger. GM800 wheelbase: 119-143.5 length: 203.3-246.7 width: 78.5 height: 74-77 GMT T1XX wheelbase: 126.5-147.4 length: 210.7-241.2 width: 81.2 height: 75.4-78.5 But I swear they feel at least 25% larger on the outside. You can barely reach over the thing to get to the dipstick or over the bedside to get things out. The GMT800 was much more accessible by comparison.

[@Kevin24Seven]

I know people aren't going to like this, but the new trucks are better in virtually every single metric. Power, towing, payload, comfort, looks (in my opinion), and obviously options. The only compelling arguments I could make for the GMT800 trucks are price (which has gotten completely out of control) lack of EPA stuff on the diesels, and potentially reliability. I say potentially because in my experience the new Silverados have been very reliable. I get it that people like old stuff but we really don't need to elevate these things to mythical status like everyone did with the old Square Bodies. Grandmas 300,000 mile Yukon should go for $800, not $8,000.

still like a single cab short bed 6.5' box or 8' if I wanted a camper over crew cabs and 5.5' box

I got my 02 Duramax still my favorite interior and most comfortable

I prefer the GMT 400 myself. I had 3 different ones during the 90's.

GM can build a $35K Equinox EV. Why can’t they build a no frills pickup using the same running gear for $35K or less?

I thought I'll be a Chevy truck kinda guy but I have to say that kinda feel bad that Chevy don't make them how they used to. I recently got a '24 F-150 XLT with the 2.7L Ecobeast as my first truck and tbh I easily would've gotten a Silverado Trail Boss instead, if it wasn't for these unrefined cylinder deactivation systems that they had to slap at the V8s to please the emissions gods at the EPA. Now it's even creeping up on Ford's Coyote V8s. It's just sad, end of an era for sure.

Bro forgot to mention the recall on that origami folding tailgate during the 12 min add

The C/K 89-99 GMT 400 are the best trucks GM ever made.

[@BamaTidefan1967]

The older trucks are more dependable and still better looking than any of GMs newer stuff! Get rid of the AFM and that dependability would come return.

I do like the way th3 chevys look and I do miss my 02 single cab stepside but after I had a 2014 and lost my ac at 36k and lost power at a gas station till 2am and the power steering kept cutting out on me once a month it kinda scared me away from the brand for a while . I will say though the zr2 and bison in both the Colorado and Silverado do call my name from time to time lol

GMT800 is king.

I still have my 04 Tahoe LT with now 276 thousand kilometres here in southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 yes I’m the third owner under the family hand me down. Not to bad ,fuel milage really sucks, electronics is a pain in the ass when it goes but easy to repair and oem parts are getting to be obsolete. Had for six years now
