When we decided to sell our Airstream and buy a 5th wheel, we also had to sell our Chevy 3500 SRW (Single Rear Wheel) because it didn't have nearly enough payload for the 5th wheel trailer. We ordered the new new truck in late February and were told that with the pandemic and global chip shortages the delivery date could range from May to July. Our VIN was issued earlier than the dealer expected and the delivery date could be earlier than expected. The truck was delivered to the dealer May 5th, so I went up there to take a look to see that it was built per the order, it was!!
Some pictures while sitting on the dealer lot, pre PDI.
[rant on] The DEF fill is finally next to the fuel filler, instead of under the hood on the passenger side. When Chevy put the DEF fill under the hood on our 2018, it was possibly my least favorite thing about that truck. When you need to fill DEF, there was no way to fill both DEF and fuel at the same time. You always either had to move the truck to get the left side DEF hose to reach or worse you had to use a DEF hose from a neighboring fuel island, which could really irritate the truck drivers waiting on the bozo in the play truck on vacation while they are trying to make a living.

The corner step will be very useful!
Yes, I've been lifting lots of iron lately!
Dual cameras on the back of the cab. One for the bed and one for backing.
Looking straight down the 5th wheel puck to the ground.
