Bet they will have different mount points.

 

People will find a way. I have seen GMT-900 clips on GM-800's

Who knows, maybe some body colored Z71 treatment would help hide that horrible face. I guess, that is if there is a Z71 in the hopper.


The Tahoe and Yukon kind of remind me of the Nissan Patrol and Infiniti QX80 in a bad way :noway:

The Chevy's are hideous, but I really do like the GMC's.
GMC Yukon Denali, I like it a lot!
Plus, that interior, is probably the best ever they have ever designed.

Might wait to get a 6.2L Denali instead of the truck now haha

I think the Chevy will grow on me but the GMC is god-awful hideous. Everything on the front end of the GMC is out of proportion. A huge grill with tiny headlights and huge fog light bezels. It's like it can't decide what it wants to be (not to mention it looks like godzilla sat on the front of the hood and crushed the whole front end down 6").

 

I thought the 03-07.5 Chevy trucks had the worst front ends...the new Yukon now holds that title in my mind, hands down. I didn't see a picture of the Chevy rear end but the GMC looks just like a Sequoia.

 

I think the new GMC truck front end is better than the Chevy but definitely not the SUVs.

 

I do love the interiors though and the fact that they went back to the traditional Chevy stacked headlights.

I dont mind it. I like the GMT900 front end over this one though. The side view of the lights are kinda wierd.

It's interesting to see so many polarized opinions either for or against each model.

My thoughts. I'm still not sure about the design, it seems too busy, but wow, a lot of people HATE one or the other.

this is tame compared to when the 2014 camaro photos came out. Whew hatred for the rear lights, then people saw them in person and now most like them. Let the initial "shock" blow over and let people see them in person.

the Front Clips on the Chevys are UGLY, and that little point in the fender is likely going to be damaged VERY EASILY in a Collision, the GMCs look better, but not by very much.

First thoughts:

 

GMC looks like an oversized terrain. Too boxy. Also, why is there that little skinny 'sweep' backwards from the headlight? The front end looks very Caddilac-ish. If the badging were different I'd be convoked the Yukon Denali was the new Escalade.

 

Tahoe looks like a large Explorer, but is better looking than the Yukon. The placement of the LED strip int he center of the headlight stack is weird, should be either on the bottom (like the GMC Sierra) or along the side. (I think the Escalade is going to have that, however)

 

But interior wise, 9/10. Fantastic interior, and good to see that there will be separate interiors for the trucks and SUV's

The tail lights were my favorite part of the Camaro, now I don't even like the Camaro with the new style tail lights. Only vehicles Chevy has now that I like are the Malibu, Cruze, and SS. Everything else I prefer in GMC.

From someone who loves Tahoe's, and has owned 4 in the last 9 years, the '13 I have now will be the last for a while. These are ugly.

 

All mine are the Z71 variant, and I have loved them all. These square wheeled, blocky, station wagons are uglier than the Expeditions, which is hard.

 

I like the interior and that's it. Where are the tow hooks? Why add 14 inches to the Tahoe? Why add length to an already bus like Burb? Looks like that ugly Ford Flex. Terrible!

I'm not a huge fan of the head lights of either one. Don't like the exploreresque look of the chevys anyway. Although the more I look the more I like and just like the trucks they will probably look better in person. I don't understand why GM has to use the rendered images so much when the real pictures always look tons better than the renderings. The interior looks really nice. I'm assuming these are all LTZ/ Denali/ SLT pictures, be interesting to see what LT and SLE's look like, plus if I get something this big I want the bench in the second row.

They didn't switch to an independent rear did they, just wondering how the fold flat seats work if not.

I do like that they fixed the window on the Tahoe/ Yukon and made it so it will actually go down more than 4inches, lol.

I like the GMC better than the current GMC, but the Chevy exterior is worse than the current Chevy. Interior looks nice.

That's absolutly what I think too.

 

so long

I really hope that is a dead pedal we see in the picture. I have a few old 5.0 Mustang GT convertibles I pull the covers off and drive every once in a while. When I slip back into my chebbie trucks, I find myself missing the dead pedal on the left. Once you drive a car with a dead pedal, you miss it for ever.

Yup. My old modded e30 had a perfect one. One on my Mazda isn't bad, but I do remember the new RAV4s have a great one, of all things.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
