2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 — open carrier or enclosed for a normal enthusiast car?

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 in Brooklyn, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. That's where I'd start. On “open carrier or enclosed for a normal,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. Climate here is different, so treat that as a local data point. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Following up on open carrier or enclosed for a normal: still happening, but I have better notes now. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.
