    I think it's very cool how Chevrolet introduced the active exhaust system for the Silverado for 2024. This would save me thousands of dollars on an exhaust system such as AWE. Does it sound as cool and loud? No, but it's probably for the better. A rare win for Chevrolet in my books.

    I recently traded a 21 trail boss on a 24 trail boss LT version with everything but the sunroof. The final cost was just under 55k. The window sticker was 70k. The dealer was very willing to make the deal since it was our third vehicle in less than 3 years.

    ZR2 suspension is the best I've ridden and make that truck worth the price. The 6.2L motor and 10 speed transmission are perfectly matched and power gets laid down nicely. Running in tow/haul mode and using the paddle shifters in L1-L5 is very sporty. Haven't used the lockers much, bet they seemed to work well on shorter inclines and pulling out a stuck 2500HD.

    Ben , I notice on the 6.2L engine it recommends using premium octane gas but not on the 5.3L engine.Do you have to use premium gas in this monster 6.2L engine or can you use 87 octane and what would the performance/mpg be . Does Chevy void warranty if I use 87octane .Have you ever asked GM about this.Would love your professional opinion.
    Thank you

    Hi Ben, I love your content... I was on the market for a Sierra AT4 till I said (lets give a shot on this Silverado ZR2), and OMG how cool that truck is, correct me if Im wrong, but the ZR2 should hold its resale value better than the AT4 in 3 to 4years from now, with the same specs of course. Also, are there any change that GM/Chevrolet get a model refresh for 2025? I know that RAM is coming with a new design for 2025. Please let us know what is your opinion about it. Thank you!

    I have a 6.2 LT Trail Boss equipped like this one but with a sunroof. Because of the price point I wondered whether I should have gotten the ZR2 but I have to say I do like the cleaner look (to me) of the TB interior. For my day-to-day purposes the added suspension wizardry of the ZR2 is just something else that may malfunction later…

      What grade gas do you use on your 6.2L Chevy Silverado LT TB? Did you ever ask the dealer about using 87 octane vs. 91 or 93 octane and about warranty issues if you use 87 octane.
      Thank you , I'm in the market for a 24' Silverado LT TB w/ the 6.2L & definitely want the sun roof with it. Not sure if I want the 18" or 20" rims/tires

      @@HeavyChevyMega I’ve been using 93 exclusively since I bought it. I’ve read 87 doesn’t hurt it but I figure for the first year at least I’ll treat it to the best. Also, mine has the 20’s-I like the look and still gives plenty of tire sidewall. I don’t do any aggressive off-roading though.

    If you’re keeping everything stock such as suspension, lift, tire size, etc, then go with the ZR2. But if you plan on adding those types of mods, then your best bet is to get the Trail Boss since all the extra cost on the ZR2 is for the suspension. I like the trail boss because I’m going to lift my truck and get bigger wheels which will end up looking way more aggressive than the ZR2.
