The windshield tray/trim and fender flares are holding their color well, but my household power outlet cover in the bed is turning almost grey. Anyone found a product to reverse that and protect other trim pieces (as the OP stated)?

Congrats on the marriage and the truck.

2024 1500 ZR2 approaching 24,000 miles with zero issues. I’m still very happy with mine!

The Chevy dealership does have a specific product they use to disinfect the entire HVAC system. I believe it is called “BG Frigi-Fresh”. I had mine done last year. It wasn’t that expensive and no issues to report.

I haven’t had this issue, but thanks for pointing this out. Mine is garage kept, but sits outside during the workday. No leaves in mine, but I plan to clean this area next time I clean/detail the interior. As others have stated, I plan to replace the cabin air filter every year, before...

I have watched most of his reviews and agree with many of his opinions, however, not this review. The same goes for Doug DeMuro’s review of the Silverado ZR2. Many car reviewers don’t understand the ZR2’s targeted market. It was never designed to directly compete with the TRX, Raptor, or the...

This looks to be the new White Sands color that replaced the Slate Gray Metallic for the 2026 model year. Welcome to the forum!

I believe the 1500s have aluminum skins on every body panel that hinges (doors, tailgate, hood). This has been the case since 2014, if I’m not mistaken.

According to the poll, I am among the minority. I have a rule to top off my fuel tank at 25% remaining. You never know when a situation will arise where you need to travel more than 35 miles without refueling.

This happened on my previous truck (2017 LTZ Z71). Had the dealership install new hardware kit and (zip tie fix). It lasted about 1 year and started shifting again during tight corners. Hopefully it doesn’t happen on my ‘24 ZR2.

It looks like they used a paint protection film on your truck from the factory. I can see the clear film in the photos. Definitely different than the heavy orange peel coating on our 1500 ZR2s. I have not read anywhere that GM had plans to discontinue that on the 2025 or 2026 model years.

If I remember correctly, the truck completely shuts down (all modules) after 8 hours of no activity.

Nice truck! Congrats and welcome!

I wouldn’t make any engine modifications if your VIN is included in the recall. I would recommend doing used oil analysis. As many others here, I use Blackstone. I also do frequent oil/filter changes (3,000-3,500 miles). Here is the link to order a free oil sample kit...

I’ve only had my jump box for about a week, but my research on them and my knowledge of Lithium batteries leads me to believe that overcharging them will drastically shorten the battery lifespan. Might want to reconsider and check the charge status once a month or once per quarter. Just my opinion.
