Why did they put 24s on this thing? I want some sidewall for ride, pothole protection, and better efficiency. Also 20s will be cheaper to replace.

I would rather have 18", but 20s would do. If they don't have size options then the wheels will be the first thing I replace

I don't care about looks, I want a comfortable ride and good efficiency. This seems really ridiculous.
Yes agree 100%.

24" is silly unless you want to look hip on city roads and don't plan on any driving thru potholes, uneven terrain, snow/ice, off road, etc...

I expect mine will have 18" work rims that can take on mud, snow, studs, RFT, rock, etc tires...

Agreed. Leave the 24" wheels for the Sierra Denali or something. Keep the Chevy practical.

I am guessing that the trail boss will not have 24". If they do then chevy did zero research on off-roading.
