    I’ll give the Sierra, I know nothing about them. The last Silverado there is an older K2, and I see yes you could get them then, didn’t know that. None of my friends have one before the face lift, none of them would want the older technology to get the chrome Z71 either. So I’ll agree the color match issue is only post facelift. The HD’s run their own packages, like the Alaskan edition truck (which has a very weird set of features and limitations). This isn’t the HD section, and I don’t think the discussion includes them. We couldn’t say anything regarding a platform if we included half and HD in the same convo, as their packages rarely match.

    Do you have a specialty local trim in your area? I’m looking through all my materials and Chrome front and rear was not an option on any K2 Z71 trucks. Nor was the opposite of color matched available on a regular LT or LTZ (the most popular non-fleet models). Centennial was LTZ Z71 only. Redline was LT and LTZ Z71 only. Midnight was Z71 only. Rally1 was Custom only (LS). Rally2 was LT Z71 only. Realtree was LTZ Z71 only. Spec ops was WT in black only. I don’t see any possibility outside of a low equipped Custom to get body color without Z71. So I guess Z71 is supposed to be beefier and the only way to get body color outside of a WT (which gets nothing because it has a plain plastic lower) or a Custom (LS without chrome)?

    Yeah he might have a point if it wasn’t the only way to get a color matched model. Everyone that I’ve talked to bought the Z71 strictly because they didn’t like chrome. GM has made it nothing but a looks package to most. I avoided the Z71 strictly because I wanted chrome.

    Exhibit A for cognitive fragility right here folks.

    No personal experience on the topic, but have you seen the brands in this thread? https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/209215-2500hd-60-headers/

    Thanks for the heads up on that. Sad to hear . I live in urban sprawl, and it'd be mighty handy to be able to suck them in while navigating, while still being able to see. Still, I'm getting more and more convinced I want these. I'll know with my first camper pull (though we will be renting a smaller 20ft camper). My only reservation is the fact my truck is a lease. I'll need to keep the old mirrors and harnesses and convert everything back at the end of the lease, which means I can't sell the parts for $$. Still thinking about it though. Thanks!

    Beautiful work! Are these Power Telescoping as well? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So it appears that the bezel is the same between mirrors that are powered? Only the switch needs replaced to add the powerfold button? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I find this extremely interesting as I bought my truck to pull a camper and I'm curious how much it would cost. I have a 2017 1500 LT with the power heated DQ8 mirrors with no lights. What kind of tow mirrors can you put on? Can you go powerfold/extend with running lights on a 1500 or is it 2500 only? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I found the Pro-Traxx 5 are wheel to wheel and available for the Double cab. They are rocker panel mounted, however. Is that anything to be concerned about? From what reviews I can find, seems they are perfectly rigid mounted there? Not sure the differences between 4 and 5.

    Hello everyone! I'm looking to get my new truck a few useful mods so that it's ready for everyday tasks. I need to get steps on, mainly so my wife can get up in it. Eventually, I may put a leveling kit on the truck, but no desire for a lift/tires. I am looking at what steps to get. I have a 2017 Double Cab. I kind of like the idea of the bed access, but I know that limits my options quite a bit. The main thing I want is nice wide step areas, so I can use the area to reach up on the roof (i may have a Yakima rack on from time to time), and an easy way to knock off snow from my shoes. I live and travel in the rust belt, so good durable finishes at the top of my list. I found the Havoc HS3 in a double cab wheel access model, not sure what else I should be looking for.
