My new hunting rig. 2020 Silverado Z71, Crew Cab Standard bed Trail Boss. Out on it's first hog hunt here in NorCal.Welcome to the forum @trailboss20 - Cool pic!
And the gas mileage is decent. The Tundra makes my Trail Boss seem like a Prius. I averaged 8mpg's in the Tundra.I couldn’t believe the power in the 6.2 TB when I first bought it. Absolutely best truck I’ve owned.
Nice ride! Welcome, a lot of good information here. Casper WY......A very long time ago when I was young, dumb, and strong I worked as a roughneck in the oil patches outside of Evanston. Not young enough anymore to work at 20 below zero in 40 MPH winds with the snow falling horizontal. But they sure paid us kids well to endure that nasty job. Every vehicle out there was a 4wd truck.My name is Craig, I am from Casper, Wyoming. I originally had a 2019 Custom Trail Boss with the 5.3L and 6-speed transmission. I purchased it before anyone really knew what Trail Boss's were lol. A year and a half later, I decided to get rid of that truck and my 2015 Camaro SS for a 2021 LT Trail Boss with the 6.2L and 10-speed transmission. I didn't get to enjoy the Camaro very much out here in Wyoming. And I figured if I am getting rid of my baby, I better get something nice to make up for it lol. I knew I wanted another Trail Boss, but wanted more bells and whistles this time an more power. I was mostly wanting the 10-speed transmission this time, but the 6.2 was a plus. I love it so far! I haven't made any offroad upgrades as I feel like the truck is already capable enough for my needs, but I have added a few performance modifications. The crank should be running around 480 horses now while still getting similar MPG. Mileage is a little worse only because I have my engine in permanent V8 mode now, but I think the MPG sacrifice is worth the engine longevity!

Nice! Yes the oilfield is still the top industry in our state. Banking and tourism have become almost as big here in Casper, so now it isn't quite as devastating when the oil field crashes as it does more often these days.Nice ride!
