I have been debating back and forth between the two configurations of the bench seat and the buckets. I am really wanting all the nice options such as heated AND cooled seats, heated and telescoping steering wheel, adjustable pedals, front and rear sensors and camera etc. What options are NOT available with a bench seat?

Heated/cooled seats, safety alert package are not available with bench seat for sure. Go to Chevy or GMC web site and try building one both ways. I almost went with the bench myself. Wife liked it. But I ended up ordering mine with the bucket seats. You would think they would offer the heated/cooled seats and the safety alert package with either setup because the bench really is not a bench. It's a fold down center seat between two bucket seats. The outside seats look identical to the bucket seats with the full console.

I have a Sierra SLT, it has leather heated bench seats, heated steering wheel, front and rear sensors, telescoping steering wheel, and movable pedals. Center consoles are nice but the bench seat to me seems to offer a ton of room and my leg does not hit the console.

 

I did not order I just purchased out of dealer stock.

Thats true...I want the extra room of a bench seat for on a date night for example yet the console is very nice so cant decide...good thing I have awhile til I can afford one.

Hey real can you by chance post a picture of your center stack? I have always wondered what the pull out storage cubby on a bench seat looks like and how big it is

The center part of the bench seat has more storage room than you think. The fold down part open up and the seat itself has storage under it. I just liked the full console better but I would have been happy with the bench too. I just looked on the Chevy web site. On the LTZ with the bench the heated leather is standard. Like said earlier if you want the heated and cooled seats or the alert package you would have to get the bucket seats. The heated steering wheel, parking sensors etc. are part of the plus package.

If you have a date night, that's what the REAR bench is for. Or tailgate, loveseat, countertop, hood, bumper...

 

Back on topic, I have the LTZ with bench, and the only thing you can't get on it is cooled seats and alert package. Everything else is pretty much the same, except that "cozy" feeling you want from time to time.

Does the bench seats armrest sit lower than the bucket setup?

Not sure. I was going for the bench, only briefly looked at one with buckets.

Hey guys, quick question. Do you find the placement and immobility of the bench seat odd? It's amazing when it's down and you have a console. But when it's up, it's non adjustable, all the way forward and has the back near vertical. If you have shoulders wider than the driver's seat, it's basically useless as a seat because your shoulder is pressed into the seat. Anyone?

 

Thank you.

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.

      Post Pics of your "Other" Rides

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      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.
