I posted this in the Chevy contact thread, but thought I'd post in a new thread. I know this forum is a Ford (Booooost) leaning group, but GM hit a homerun with the RST package. It's not all chromed out like other trims, and the monocolor grill is mean-looking!

I'm having chrome assist steps/rails put on this week along with a spray-in rhyno liner. I'll get a tonneau cover this summer (probably a bakflip). I'm excited, and my two young sons love it even more than I do.


2019 Chevy Silverado RST

I like it a lot.

Question - why put chrome rails on it? If you have to have rails why not go with something black and low-profile to keep with the RST theme of the truck?

Congrats on the new ride! Your chrome contradiction made me laugh though.

Nice Truck!

Interesting location of "Silverado" on the front fender...

I thought about that, but I didn't like the black rails. They either had the one that can go with the A/Ts (which I didn't really feel fits since it's not a 4x4), or the black ones which look kinda cheap from the factory. I'd rather not do aftermarket. Otherwise, I saw an RST with the chrome steps, and it looked good to me. I don't mind a little chrome, just not a lot as in the LT and LTZ.

Are you familiar with the chrome bumpers on the LT? THAT'S chromed-out. The step rails are chrome, yes, but it's not in-your-face.

I feel a man should never have to defend the choice to add chrome.

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum I guess. I like the chrome, but hate the running boards/rails.

I've been looking at the 2019 GMC SLT premium and have asked if it is possible to get one without the chrome running boards. I always bang my shin on them when I try and get into the truck. If I buy one soon, probably the first thing I will do is take them off.

FYI, the assist steps will look like this when done. Yeah, they're chrome, but they're not overstated, imo. I've seen a lot of F-150 Lariats like this.

I think you're doing it wrong

I am of normal adult height, so they are of no use to me..

Did you drop the truck, or is that how it comes from the factory?

That was my first thought. No need for steps as it is plenty low.

It's factory. I want the steps because I have young children who'll need the help to get in the back. I'm 5'10" and would be fine without, but my soon to be 6 yr old and my 3 yr old have struggled to get in. They didn't struggle to get into my Tahoe that had assist steps, so they're useful in my situation.

I got the same model in a different color last Friday (Havana brown). They are deceptively tall. My wife and kids have trouble easily getting in and out.

I dig my Expedition's power running boards. Best of both worlds. Until they fail.

I use the steps in my 4x4 Tundra every time I get in my truck.

I did grow up in San Antonio, so that might explain some things.

I just wish the price wasn't growing. I really like the 2019s, but am having trouble with the fact that a 1/2 ton truck is going to cost nearly $50K. I know I could save a ton of money by buying the 2018, but I also know I would be wishing I had bought the newer one every time I see one.

There's plenty of gently used ones flowing into the market, if you don't mind a few thousand miles on it

It's Chevy Truck Month, and the rebates are out right now, especially in the DFW area because the Auto Show will come to down in a couple of weeks. If you're willing to hustle and negotiate with 3-4 dealerships to get a deal, you could come away with a deal that's far, far less than $50K. Trust me, because that's exactly what I did.

I see the term whip and with that comes certain expectations. I see a picture of a truck and I guess that expression doesn't mean what I think it means. Learn something new every day.

I got a 2018 lariat thru 1ags hookup about a month ago that I've been meaning to post.

I got mine in the pic above for $36,100 plus TTL. Stickered at about $48k I think.

For me it was all about the RST trim as 3rd Platoon mentioned above. I just didn't care for the chrome bumper and grille. The body matched painted front makes a world of difference with the redesign in my opinion.

It stickered for $52.2k. It has leather, bucket seats with console, safety package, towing/trailer package, spray liner, and assist steps. I got it for $41.9k + tt&l.

Can they color match amp research steps? That'd look sharp.
