it's too bad they didn't do something with the windows. I would have love for them to come down or up with remote. My girls car does all that and I can't get her to stop clowning me on it. lol

This is a feature on my 2015 Silverado LTZ Midnight CC... hold unlock for about 5 to 7 seconds and all windows roll down...

That is a 2015+ feature. The 2014 trucks fold their mirrors using the remote and the 2015+ trucks roll their windows down with the remote.

My 15 folds the mirrors with the remote.

Yes, mine is a 14...and you set it in Vehicle Personalization...Home screen > Settings > Vehicle > Comfort and Convenience > Auto Mirror Folding...

 

From the owners manual...

This feature is turned on or off

through vehicle personalization. See
Vehicle Personalization on
page 5-46.
and from personalization:
Auto Mirror Folding
When on, the outside rearview
mirrors will automatically fold or
unfold when the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter lock or
unlock button is pressed and held.
Select Off or On.

Figured out that the sun visors in my 2015 extend on the arm if you are wanting shade from the sun through the driver or passenger windows.

Thank you. My wife's 4Runner has a tab that slides out from the visor to extend the coverage, and she points this out every time we're in my truck. Next time she tells me this, I'll point out how the truck visor works. Then she'll ask why it took me so long to figure this out. Can't win...

Tell her you knew all along and you were just making her suffer for being difficult about it. If you're going to lose, might as well lose big. :)

GM trucks have done that since at least 2003.

My 2000 Sonoma did that..........(beep if the turn signal stayed on too long)

You have to have it turned on in your settings (comfort and convenience), then all you have to do is press and hold the unlock button for 4-5 secs

Not there on an LT

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
