Let me start by saying, I have not traded either vehicle for a new Silverado! 
The Camaro is in the shop, having the transmission looked at. So, they gave me a new Chevy Silverado as a loaner. It had 104 miles on it when I picked it up. So, I do think "new" still applies.
BRIGHT red. The color has kind of grown on me. But, I don't think it's a color I would want to buy.
2WD, non-Z71. It was looking rainy yesterday, so I was missing the comfort of the "automatic AWD" from my Silverado. (Why put miles on mine, when they're letting me drive their's?)
I had heard that the Z71 suspension was better than the non-Z71. But, "better" is subjective. One person's "slightly more firm, feels more connected to the road" can be another person's "damn, this thing is kinda rough" (my 2015 Z71). One person's "this thing is kind of bouncy and doesn't feel at all connected to the road; I don't like it!" can be another person's "this is nice & smooth! I LIKE IT!" (the 2018 non-Z71).
I guess the claims of these transmissions "learning how we drive" are true. My 2015 with the 6 speed seems to shift MUCH BETTER than the 2018. The 2018 doesn't seem to grab the right gear and seems kind of lazy and torque-management-heavy on the shifts. It's not the speed-shifter that my old 2007 6-speed was when it was new, but it doesn't seem like it's doing what I WANT it to do as much as my 2015 does.
The ride DOES seem a little smoother and quieter than my truck. But, I'd rather have a little more firmness than the bouncy "I'd have to change the shocks on this thing, if it were mine."
If none of you have experienced "OnStar Nav," I am not a fan! It is NOT "all-the-time-built-in-maps and OnStar can send directions to you." It IS a compass on the display with a "call OnStar" button, so they can send directions to you (for a monthly fee, of course) with arrows and voice prompts to tell you where to go.
I'd sure like to tell that thing where to go. Having two vehicles with built-in NAV and live traffic data, I loathe this system.
They DO have Android Auto in the vehicle, though, and they have 4G LTE wifi running. So, I've been using Android Auto and Google Maps for my live traffic data. That setup seems a LITTLE laggy to me, especially if you're playing audio AND you have the maps going at the same time.
All I've done is driven it back & forth to work (closing in on 200 miles of driving so far), so that's about all the impressions I have for the truck at the moment.
