Here's a video that beats the official unveiling this afternoon
I know you can turn the feature off but it still trips me out when my buddies engine shuts off at red lights.Nice updates. We just got a 2021 Silverado Trail Boss with the 6.2 in July. I love the engine and 10-speed transmission. The interior, not so much. It also wanders a bit on the highway.
2.7L Turbo motor, that should be good for hauling big loads of fiberglass insulation and 36 packs from the store.
Interior looks great…it’s about damned time
I dunno why it’s rating is so low in the current model…it has the same torque output, at waaay lower rpm, than the 6.2L [emoji2369]

Biggest news on this video is that the 3.0 dmax got updated max tow numbers to 13,300.
Except fords….I heard Ford owners like big loads.Those numbers are lies. A half ton can’t tow anything.
What is with the track width on the ZR2?! You will need wheel spacers off the lot. Or proper wheel offset.

This is one area that Ram has right. Just put some buttons for the trans and be done, or a column shifter and give me back the console space.anyone else hate the shifter on the console?

Yes, put it back where it belongs. Mercedes puts them next to the wheel too, but BMW puts them in the middle. Always hated that, no reason for it there in the middle in an automatic.anyone else hate the shifter on the console?

something about the buttons bugs me to. give me something on the column to move, or a manual trans. its a truck dammit.This is one area that Ram has right. Just put some buttons for the trans and be done, or a column shifter and give me back the console space.
I like the interior. Needs up fitter switches, at least on the offroad models.
ZR2 looks cool. Those shocks seem to work well on the Colorado, but it's not even close to enough to compete with Raptor or TRX... obviously.
Seems like this should be the new "Trail Boss," and there should be something else coming to compete... but that seems unlikely. Die hard GM guys(like myself) have been hoping for something cool for years.. looks like they dropped the ball again.
100% agree!I think it will depend how it's priced. If priced in Raptor/TRX territory then definitely dropped the ball. If priced in Tremor/Rebel territory I think it could be a home run. These shocks should be miles ahead of the units on Tremor/Rebel, not to mention standard front and rear locking diffs.

Thats kinda GM's thing. They leave it to the aftermarket to truly compete with trucks like that. Even going back to the street truck days of the Lightning and SRT-10 Ram. GM had the Silverado SS. It was cool. and it was better than an OG truck, but it still didn't compete with those other 2 performance wise.I like the interior. Needs up fitter switches, at least on the offroad models.

ZR2 will be more, probably start close to $60K. The Rebel and Tremor are already priced similar to the Trail Boss starting in the low $50k range.
Depending on how it's optioned starting close to 60 is in the neighborhood. The tremor my dad just picked up was at 68 or 69k
Agreed. And the GM platform probably has the most aftermarket support. Honestly, competing with the Raptor and TRX with a bolt on kit and fenders isn't that hard and will handle much better. But people want it from the factory.Thats kinda GM's thing. They leave it to the aftermarket to truly compete with trucks like that.

Yeah, I hate that. You can turn it off, but you have to do it for every trip. I believe Silverados that were made after sometine in June don't have that 'feature' due to chip shortages.I know you can turn the feature off but it still trips me out when my buddies engine shuts off at red lights.
Let us know how the coilovers are when you get them. How is the tracking on yours? Maybe I was just used to our F250, but the Trail Boss seems twitchy.I've owned a LOT of chevy trucks years 99,2003,2006, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2017 )and my 2021 Trailboss suspension went to shit in 10k miles and is worse than z71 trucks I put 100k miles on. Seriously. Like it bounces off the front stops constantly. Blew 1 rear factory Rancho shock for no reason at all and leaked all over my driveway for 3 days until I pulled it myself and dropped on the service desk at Chevy. I even put air bags on the rear so trailers put less stress on it. I have 2.5" kings with adjusters for the rear and will probably swap springs to deaver leafs if there is still an issue. My King coilover fronts are a few months backordered still.
