Thanks for all the help guys. Picked up a fancy 2024 Silverado with all the cool tech options and a ridiculous 6.2L engine. Worked out the cost difference in fuel (including premium cost) and it was around $450 per year extra at my average of 8k km per year that I've driven over the past 20 years. 23k km on the truck, shows brand new. Dec 2024 build so after the recall issues were "fixed" in the factory. Got a 5 year bumper to bumper on it because I still don't trust it, but I don't trust any new vehicles. And I have to say, the sport mode is pretty awesome. Non stock colour and non stock 6-6 box which were big factors for me as well. $70k out the door so I'll have a payment for a few years, but I like the warranty over some of the older stuff.

Good financing on new. That's why this one came in. I was already stretched too far and feared what I would do if I ordered new so the one in front of me at a discount was the easy call.

Yeah I really liked it. Way better than the other silver grey. Fun to have something a little different.

Nice truck. 6'-6" box is soooo much more useful rather than the little 5'-6" models

Yeah it's wild how that small difference is so huge. Got the first dust on it today

@Rain City just be careful with mopar gas and gm gas with AFM and MDS systems. Those are the cylinder deactivation systems and I would highly recommend you tune them out right away if they aren’t locked by a secure gateway. Usually 2018 and under models are not secure gateways.

Failure to tune it out can cause catastrophic lifter failure and camshaft damage as well.

can confirm. ask me how i know. actually dont. i dont have any booze around to console me.

We’ve fixed a lot of them even with custom camshafts to permanently remove the afm

Nice choice! I like the Halo 3 front end on these trucks. Looks tough-futuristic

Thanks. My wife said it looks too Transformers-like. I told her if she didn't have anything nice to say, just keep telling me about it.

How are the head lights. Blue xenon that shine nice and high into oncoming traffic?
