I bought my 2021 Silverado High Country 5.3 when the lease was up. It's been a pretty good truck so far as it has about 40k on it at the moment. Previous to that I was leasing a 2019 Sierra Denali pickup which had the 8 spd auto which I absolutely hated. It seemed to hunt for the right gear on occasion but always at the wrong time like when pulling out or merging into traffic. The 21 Silverado has the 10 spd which is head and shoulders better than the 8 spd drivability-wise. I hear horror stories about the 5.3 DOD motors but I also hear that changing oil at a 3500-5000 mile interval is key to their longevity. Don't know if that's 100% true but I've been changing mine around 3500-4000 miles.
