2020 HD models do not have ACC available on any trim level. LD is Light Duty models, which is the 1500, and they only got it in 2020. HD models should get it for 2021, but no confirmation yet from GM. And if not in 2021, certainly in 2022.

Payload between the two is more a factor of how the truck is equipped. My 6.2 NHT has 1910 lbs of payload capacity. You can probably find some 5.3 NHTs with more and some with less payload capacity.

That's been my experience too. My 5.3 just didn't cut it in our mountainous terrain. The 6.2 does a much better job of towing my travel trailer. And the Max Trailering package is better suited for towing and gives me extra payload capacity, which I ran out of with my 5.3.

PS...Dersch didn't write this, I did. There seems to be some kind of issue to where you can't just post a reply without quoting the OP.

We can't even get E15 or E10 where I live. I've never even seen an E85 pump. It's all straight undiluted gasoline at every gas station.

I use Shell, Chevron or Costco. Top Tier only for me.

I have one of each. The 5.3 just didn't have the power I was looking for in mountainous terrain. And even with a 5500 lb trailer I was exceeding payload capacity. My 6.2 pulls a lot more effortlessly. In normal driving conditions, the 6.2 has noticeably more power and is a good bit faster than the 5.3. The 5.3 will now be relegated to pulling my 2800 lb trailer, and even a trailer that small still has the truck right at its payload capacity. So forget about so-called max tow rating. It's a nonsensical and irrelevant bragging rights number only. Try pulling anything at the max tow rating and you'll be exceeding every other weight limitation there is, ie Gross Combined Weight Rating, Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, Gross Rear Axle Weight Rating, Payload Capacity and Tongue Weight Capacity. In fact, when someone tries to quote their vehicle's max tow rating I immediately know that they don't know squat about towing.

I don't believe dealers. My dealer told me I had to use the trailer controller pigtail that came with my 2016 LTZ and it would cost $200 to install. I got a plug and play harness off of Amazon for a little over $20 and my P3 controller works just fine. I suspect the same is true for the newer trucks.

Should have installed an Autostop Eliminator while you had everything opened up.

The biggest one supported by your camera. Just make sure you get a high endurance card. Standard SD cards won't last nearly as long and can become corrupted.

I love it and use it. I like having a profile for each trailer. I like the trailer guidance, which lets me home in on the tongue from far out and I like the downward look when I get close. It makes hooking up a trailer by myself so much easier. I also like how the parking brake is activated when you place the vehicle in park. And I like the light check once I'm hooked up. It's a world of difference between my 2016 and my 2019 Silverados. So it's definitely not a gimmick for those who tow.

That explains that. I have the Max Trailering package.

I've looked very carefully and there is nothing but a big empty void between my grill and the radiator.

Which engines have shutters? I don't see any on my 2019 LTZ with the 6.2L

Just like everyone else, you are confusing the payload capacity of a truck vs the max tow rating of a truck. SAE J2807 deals with how the max tow rating of a truck is determined. Nothing more. Payload capacity is the amount of payload you can have in a truck before you exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of that truck. Payload capacity includes occupants and cargo. It has nothing to do with J2807. For the Silverado/Sierra 1500, payload capacity is Gross Vehicle Weight Rating minus Curb Weight. And we all know that curb weight is the weight of an empty vehicle. It does not include the driver, passengers or any cargo. If you look at the trailering information sticker from my Silverado you can see the Gross Vehicle Weight rating is 7300 lbs and the curb weight is 5390. 7300 minus 5390 = 1910, which is the payload capacity of my truck. That's where the 1910 lbs on the yellow sticker comes from. That 1910 lbs has nothing to do with two 150 lb people or a 70 lb hitch. That 1910 lbs is the total payload capacity for occupants, to include the driver, and cargo.

Read the third line. That is your payload capacity for that specific truck. In my case, my payload capacity for my 2019 Silverado 1500 is 1910 pounds. It has nothing to do with max tow capacity. The other sticker you're referring to will give you the GVWR and the rating of the front and rear axles. 2019 and newer GM 1500 trucks have a third sticker that provides all the relevant trailer towing information.

Again, you're quoting the standard for max tow rating, not payload capacity.

Think about it. How can payload capacity that is specific to each truck include arbitrary weights? And people will not necessarily be towing, so why include a 70 lb hitch? This is the payload sticker from my truck. Read the definition of what counts as payload. You're confusing max tow rating with payload capacity. They're two different things.

Payload capacity is for an empty truck with a full tank of gas. It does not include the driver or passengers. You would need to look at the yellow sticker on the driver's door jamb to determine the payload capacity of any specific truck. The more optioned out it is, the lower the payload capacity. Getting the Max Trailering package adds 200 lbs to the GVWR, which means increased payload capacity.

My 2019 LTZ with the 6.2L and max trailering package has a payload capacity of 1910 lbs. Compare that to my 2016 LTZ with the 5.3L, which has a payload capacity of 1572 lbs.

If you have a 6.6, you have a 3/4 ton or one ton. You're in the half ton forum.

I always install 3" convex mirrors on every truck I buy. I even covered the tiny driver's side factory convex on my 2016 with a 3".

Not sure why anyone would use tire chains. I don't know anyone in Alaska who uses them and I never see them on any vehicles.

Do they brighten your day? ?
