100,895 miles · $23,255 with $252 doc fee · 5.3L V8 4WD
Moose’s Verdict
Good price. First-year DFM gamble.
$23,003 sits below the comp range for a 2019 LT at these miles ($22.7k–$23.9k; CarGurus rates it a Great Deal) — the price is genuinely fair. The powertrain is the problem: 2019 was the first year of GM’s Dynamic Fuel Management, and the 5.3L’s DFM lifters are a documented failure point — collapsed lifters, scored cams, repair bills around $8,700 in owner records. The 8L90 8-speed adds its own shudder and torque-converter complaints. Five-plus NHTSA recalls apply (brake EBCM software, battery-cable fire risk, seat-belt pretensioner, seat-belt bracket, passenger airbag). Cheap to buy, expensive to own — that is a MOOSE.
