New Trail Boss from lifetime Mopar guy

[Forester99]

Just bought my first ever GM truck this week: 2020 TB LT. Did lots of research before switching from Rams. Had three Rams the last 10-15 years. I’m a forester and use my truck for work every day. I always buy 6.5’ crew cab beds and those Rams are hard to find with low miles. I drive about 30-35k per year. I’m was concerned about 5.3 engine issues but the truck has GM certified until 100k so I’ll give it a try for the next couple of years. It seems like a great truck so far. Rams ride nicer but the TB has a better interior layout and bed space is wider. I think once the stock Goodyears are burnt up and replaced with a better AT tire like Nitto or Falken it will ride smooth & quiet. Thanks for the invite and look forward to learning more about this Gen GM truck. I do most of my own non warranty maintenance and basic repairs so I’ll be doing lots of reading and video watching .

Welcome to the forum. Good looking truck. 6.5’ bed and tow mirrors is probably a pretty rare find for the trail boss as well. Hope it serves you well, sounds like you’ll put it to the test.

Looks nice. I've never seen a 6.5 bed on the street. I like it.

Get ready for people to offer to buy your mirrors. GM trucks are pretty easy to work on if there's a problem. The Chevy ride is more tough because of the rear leaf springs. Once you put some weight in the rear it'll ride more smoothly.

I want the mirrors!

Not even 24 hours. I told you it would happen. I've been dealing with it for 3.5 years now. Ain't nobody offered enough money yet, lol.

I wouldn’t think the mirrors would be a big deal because they’re the same ones they put on all the 3/4 ton Chevy trucks

If I understood the inner workings of how people think I'd probably be a messiah or an oracle. I'm neither.

Not many optioned that way and to try and convert with new tow mirrors from GM is pricey.
