I was really surprised that my 2019 Denali Ultimate lacked this feature too. Every other vehicle I've owned in the last 15 years has had this feature, so I never even thought to ask about it when I took delivery. Can't think of any reason other than cost cutting that GM didn't include such a simple and proven feature from the truck.

I have to say that I'm pretty pleased with the mileage with my 6.2. Although the truck is really quite new and not really broken in, I'm seeing an average of around 18 mpg. From what I understand, it should improve slightly as the engine fully breaks in, so I hope to see perhaps slightly higher numbers down the road.

I'm experiencing the same issue with my 2019: when you start the truck, no sound comes out about 50% of the time. The only thing I found that gets it going again is to change stations. It doesn't seem to matter if I left it in Sirrius or FM. Has anyone gotten the issue resolved either by replacement or software update?

I bought my 2019 Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate at the beginning of the year as a leftover. All in, the discounts totaled a bit over $14k from sticker which was around 67. It was kind of a weird buying experience as the day I was supposed to finish the paperwork and pick it up, I was told that someone else had bought the truck. Was really miffed about that, but a few days later, they called me back to say that it was available again, so I opted to go ahead and snag it. I had tried to find something similar in the meantime, but there wasn't anything comparable in my area. First new vehicle and first truck purchase in a long time. Buying experience aside, I really like the vehicle and the 6.2 engine has amazing pickup.
