I hope so too. My duramax elevation has gone up almost $2k since I ordered it on April 2. I'd like to think the dealer would honour the price on the signed purchase agreement but who knows these days. Mine is built and awaiting transport so should find out shortly.

Yeah thanks for sharing @dickpencil. Your truck looks awesome, congrats. I was kinda hoping the payload would be in the 1800lbs range with the max tow and duramax combo. Maybe the overall weight of the truck with the diesel plays a factor in that?

Nice truck. I’ve got a similar build on order. Can you share some more photos when you get a chance? And what’s your payload number? Do you guys think the back end will have more rake with the max tow package? Kinda looks like it from this photo.

Sorry to hear about the pain you're dealing with. I have no experience with the product but what about getting katzkin leathers installed. I believe they have built in foam but I'd be curious to hear if they change the overall comfort of the seat. I know a lot of dealerships offer them as aftermarket upgrades and there are approved installers across the country. Maybe someone on here has experience with them. I'd also be curious to hear about before and after thoughts and price on them.

Nice. Good to hear. This is such a weird buying experience. I wasn't able to test drive the shifter or the duramax prior to ordering so I'm relying on research and experience of others. Not ideal but I am happy with my choices.

Awesome feedback, I really appreciate your experiences and your new truck looks great! That's good to know that you don't need to press the button between D and R and vise versa. I think that would make jockeying the truck around/parking pretty smooth once you get use to it. I think I read somewhere that it will automatically go in to park in certain situations but I can't recall exactly, maybe it was when in nuetral and you open the door? Glad to hear from someone who's used it, thanks.

Yeah I think console/column would be my ideal setup. Looks like you can build it that way with the Chev but not the GM.

Hey folks, first time posting so I hope I'm posting in the right area. I was hoping to hear some real world experiences from anyone who's used the electronic console shifter. I just put a deposit on a refreshed Elevation (3.0, cc, standard box, max tow). The order is being placed this week and the only hesitation I'm having with my build is if I should opt for the console w/ electronic shifter or to go with the column shifter and armrest. I am leaning toward the console for a few reasons: storage, wireless charging (I know I could add this with the armrest but I like the new location), more cupholders for the kids in the back, resale?, and I like the appearance. My hesitations mostly surround the usability of the shifter. Is it intuative? What's it like shifting during a parallel park/3 pt turn/backing a trailer etc? Will searching for the P button when parking get annoying? I'm sure I'm overthinking things and that once you use it for a few weeks it will be second nature but I was just curious what people who live with it daily think. Thanks for your input!
