Well, the heated steering wheel definitely came in handy earlier this morning. It is 17 degrees outside.

I gotta say, if you are in a cold weather climate: remote start, heated seats, and heated steering wheel makes for a heck of a trio.

The heated steering wheel warms up quick but doesn't get too hot like I've noticed it can in other brands

Lets take a look at the High Country emblems. Here's the side badges.

Rear badge.

Embroidered seats.

Door sill emblem

Crap.. look how dirty I've gotten the floor mats already. This thing really needs some Husky Liners.

Stitching around the steering wheel.

Stitching and piping on the seats.

Beauty shot by the river.

Headlights up close

The 20" rims with a pinch or two of salt for flavor.

Get it sideways with a $20,000 Flir camera

With the exception of the rims, I think it looks better than the Denali…

Josh · January 28, 2014

Updated thread with some new pictures! Sorry Chris, the FLIR is in the shop for repairs

David_L6 · January 28, 2014

Nice. Not worth that kind of money, but nice. I wouldn't buy it with those rims though. I don't like them at all.

Cap'n Hook · January 28, 2014

Wow, those are puny floor mats. They barely covere half the footwell! And those wheels are terrible. But overall, nice looking, though I wouldn't peel out 500 $100 bills for that!

in the "beauty shot by the river", is the rear door window belt moulding bent up at the rear, or is the door actually shaped that way. Looks odd at this angle, almost like it is not pushed all the way down, all the way across the bottom of the window.

I'm pretty sure that's how it's shaped. If you look at the rear windows on the new Colorado/Canyon, it's the same way. Looks like a new theme they're going with.

Not a fan of that look. My first reaction is 'something is wrong'. It would drive me nuts every time I walked up to the truck. It looks broken to me. Can't even see the stylistic value that GM is going for.

Negative comments aside, I think it's a great looking truck. I have the new Denali with the 6.2 and it's by far the best GM truck I've ever owned.

I've been thinking this since day one. That little change has me really mad bc I think it looks out of place. Makes it look like a Tacoma or something. Just doesn't look right.
