2017 Ordering Specs are Live

[MikeNH]

I wonder what it would take to add the automatic braking to a 2016. Hmm.

 

 

Money. Lots of it.

Praying for some rear amenities. Currently no vents back there is a joke.

I want the flat floor rear and vents in the back damn it.

 

Yeah, I really want flat floor in my next truck. Prior to buying my 2014 I test drove a Ford and that was a really nice feature, had I gone with a crew it would have been a huge incentive to go with Ford, but with the double cab, not as important.

Cool, definitely some noticeable differences in the All Terrain SLT Premium Package that I ordered with a few weeks ago.

 

for 2016, the All Terrain SLT Premium Package had:

- 20" Rims

- Front & Rear Park Assist

- Heated Steering Wheel

- Rear Sliding Window

- 6" Rectangular Chrome Tubular Assist Steps

 

for 2017:

- 20" Rims

- Front & Rear Park Assist

- LED Headlights

- Rear Sliding Window

- 4" Black Round Assist Steps

 

There is also a PEPPERDUST METALLIC colour now

 

I will also say that push start is a must. My wife has it on her '13 explorer and loves that she never has to take her key out of her purse.

 

Our(her) explorer also has a "teen driver" mode that you can program into the FOB. Sometimes when I want to be funny I do it and limit her speed/radio volume and she gets all confused. LOL

[Stephen Della Monica]

I'm definitely a fan of push button start. Keep your keys in your pocket and not hear the keys jumbling around every time you hit a bump or make a turn.

[Daryl LBZ]

They should keep the push button start option for the LTZ and High Country trims only. If it's good enough for the 6.2L then it's good enough for that.

Get the parts from a Yukon and you're good to go.

I liked the PB start on the wife's car til the time I dropped her off and drove away with the only fob in her purse.

[Deanjo]

A co-worker of mine learned the hard way about the downside of keyless systems on his Range Rover. 40 below, locked out and $1400 to get back into his vehicle after they had to remove the back hatch to get in.

 

I wouldn't mind a keyless system but it should still have a key fallback.

[redwngr]

Chev Impala has a backup way to open they door using the flip out key that is part of the FOB.

 

I'm surprised a Range Rover does not.

[groundtrooper]

I'm surprised a Range Rover does not.

 

I am not.

Maybe the pics and specs will be known but won't be in customers hands until at least Sept of 2018 if it is a 2019 model.

Looking at the 2014 K2 truck, the official production start was April of 2013 for the new 2014 models. That said, limited production started in early March of 2013. They were on the roads in Texas late March with 3/13 build dates on the doors. GM does not mess with getting new trucks on the market as their financial health depends on it. I would not see the new trucks being any different. You have to get them on the market fast before they get outdated.

[355HP Z71]

I'm wondering what the engine options are going to be ?? Staying with V8's or some sort of turbo charged V6 ?

That we don't know but Alcoa has been contracted and will be shipping mass amounts of aluminum to GM right about the time the new trucks go in production. Hmmm...

I like the idea,I think its going to take a lot of tinkering around though,GO GEN5!!!!!!

[Z45]

All the features people wish for drive the vehicle price upwards. 1500 Denali 4wd will break $70,000 optioned out.
