Why is there a picture of the new refreshed 2022 GMC in the FORD add on this page. IT also looks like the GMC in the FORD add has tan interior that was not an option when I ordered mine. What gives?

I like it! What I don’t like is hearing they are still having problems with the 5.3 and 6.2 engines. And, GM is treating their customers poorly! It’s just Not right.
I have the new white gmc 1500. It is a wonderful pu, very comfortable. The 6.2 v 8 has tons of power but a little hard on gas! I was concerned in the first 4000 miles it uses a quart of oil. I took it back and they were wonderful at Corwin gmc in Reno. They did a full service and set me up on a program that we will check it ever 1000 miles and see what happens. It’s 1000 miles now and hasn’t used any. I talked to them yesterday and now we will go to 2000 miles and check again. We will do this until the next oil change. If it doesn’t use any, it was just a break in situation. Time will tell! Other than that I am very happy with my investment!
The fix for the engines is to buy the DOD delete aftermarket kit, have it installed by a reputable mechanic, and you will have a bullet proof engine. I should have listened to my own advice two rebuilds ago. Now I can’t get the kit or the DOD lifters and hence, me 2015 Silverado has sitting at the dealership for over a year. I can’t even get an engine. BTW, it is a 6.2
And David Hall you have to have the ECM reprogrammed to handle the new non-AFM parts.
Mopar or no car
