Curb weight is 8800 lb. My 2023 Chevy Silverado RST is 7000 and cost me $30,000 less.
I have to wonder if that extra weight wears out tires quicker.
8,800 pounds? Ok, so you would need a 5-ton floor jack and super heavy duty jack stands to get underneath/change a tire yourself. There’s another $1,000 investment, as the jack will set you back about $750 by itself.
Also, that much weight will shred those tires out in about 6 months I bet.
My 19 RST was 54k sticker. Add in the new cam, lifters and other components before tuning it brings my total cost to almost 63k.
The fact that they haven’t recalled the 5.3 for its afm lifter issues says a lot. As a former gym family member, I’m done. My next vehicle will most likely be a Toyota.
It cannot be that energy efficient either.
It cost a lot of energy hauling additional two tones around.
Plus the wear and tear of the road!
