I think, as many have stated, it’s going to all come down to what your intentions with the truck are. I wouldn’t exactly call the single speed trucks “grocery getters”……. I’m sure they can accomplish much of what’s need in grey situations. According to my dealership service department, you DO NOT wear much if any of your brake pads when utilizing Terrain Mode. It has been described to me as an extremely sensitive system when it comes to the braking system while in use. True? Who knows….. but I really can’t see GM installing this setup without at least warning owners that your going to burn up some delicate parts if ya use it

Ok so to further my experience with the “single speed” we continue to get hit with snow here in the Midwest…… 4hi has accomplished everything! 4 auto is legit, but in my opinion only while on the move, not for driving off road but for driving from point A to point B on ROADS. I haven’t had a chance to seriously “off road” the truck yet, meaning having it dig through serious ruts and mud. But to be honest, I really don’t see myself pushing it to that point. I have ATV’s to do the “crazy stuff” and can’t bring myself to send a $58k truck into the woods. I’ll let Polaris handle that. But I totally understand if those who have it do it………. I do appreciate those who can share their experiences. It’s a piece of mind to know that it’s there if ya need it. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts……

Unfortunately that’s not the one I need, my upper cap is ok. It’s the “center part” of the mirror. I thank you for your help though!! if you come across anything else please let me know. I’d hate to have to buy an entire new mirror.

Unbelievable Appears bitter cold that moved in bit me in the rear. Anyone know where I can go to just get the outer skin (black plastic capping) for the passenger side door mirror??? I know I can buy the top cap and even the bottom cap, but I have a crack dead center of mirror casing. Everything I looked up leads to having to buy an entire new passenger side mirror which I absolutely do not need.

Thank you Mshawn for the replies, glad to hear you had a decent experience with that Custom, that’s pretty much the set up I have. I was able to test mine a bit recently….. We got slapped with a total of 12 inches of snow this past week, wet slippery crap. Decided to come to a complete stop on one of many hills to see how she handled in 4 auto. A LOT of “mechanical thinking” going on but no progress. Hit the 4H and walked up like nothing. Decided to backup and try Terrain Mode since I was there, same result, walked right up. Not thrilled that Terrain Mode uses the brake system to activate the G80, assume the pads may wear quick. I agree 4L is important don’t get me wrong, but budgets are budgets and these dang things aren’t cheap!!!

Curious to see anyone’s experience with the single speed transfer case set up off road. I’ve searched the forum with not much success other than this subject turning into a debate….. I get it, 4L goes back ages, yet other truck manufacturers sell trucks without locking differentials and any type of recovery hooks (without buying packages to accommodate) yet slap 4x4 all over the thing. I have a 23 Elevation I just bought with this setup, and 20 years of truck ownership and off roading for hunting season I’ve never touched 4L once but ALWAYS made sure to have a locking rear differential and front recovery hooks, which GM is pretty good about. The G80 seems legit, and the little bit I’ve seen of Terrain Mode has had a response of “not real 4L but was impressive,” so I took the chance Thanks ahead of time.
