What do you wish your truck had?


Recommended Posts

Garmin Nav in the infotainment, with lifetime maps via USB.

 

The nav in my last truck was pretty lacking in terms of finding addresses and routes it would take me. The android auto is a nice addition to the 17 but having to plug it in is a little clunky.

I wish all four windows were auto up as well instead of just drivers. That's lame sauce

I wish the 2014/2015 body style had more color match options.... but I'm sure glad they did it for the 2016+!!!! Great job on GM's part for making more color matched trucks

Auto up windows on all doors not just the drivers door.
Auto closing windows from key fob like the auto open.
Better headlights on the 2500! (They really suck!)
Manual transmission option!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Onstar app able to close all windows.
Mirrors auto tilt in reverse on all trucks. Not just the high end ones.
Power folding mirrors standard with tow mirror option. (These things are MASSIVE and should fold by power whenever you need.)
Better audio upgrade options. (Bose system sucks!) Needs a 12" sub seeing 400 watts!
Rear window powers down into back wall. (That small slider is stupid and useless!)
Ability to turn the stupid auto lights fully off! (Including the auto dimming gauges!!!!!)
Blind spot camera system with second back up camera for 5th wheel/ gooseneck and grill cam for parking.
New gas motor for the HD trucks. (6.0 is a great motor but it's time for an update)
Small diesel motor for the 1500. (4.0L inline 6?)
Mid sized diesel for the HD trucks. (5.2L inline 6?) Keep price under 3K for this option.
Key pad entry system in drivers door handle.
For gods sake put electric fans on the HD trucks already! This is not the 70s people!
Air ride rear suspension option on the HD trucks.
Better leather on the Steering wheel. (To smooth and to thin. Feels cheap and marks to easy.)
Moon roof option! I love sunroofs but honestly the sunshade is closed if the sunroof is not open.
12v power sockets in the bed.
Bed lighting system standard.
Roof rack option would be nice.
The UI for the 8" touch screen is crap. The system has so much potential. And you made it SO basic. Some simple programing and this thing could be epic!
Speech recognition system needs work! (Hire google there $**T works! LOL)
Tone down the chrome on the HD trucks. (You did this on the 1500 do it to the HD trucks now! Color match bumpers should be standard, chrome should be an option!)
Paint to match mirror caps on the tow mirrors.
Fewer packages and the ability to pick individual options like you used to be able to!!!!!!
Pre wired switches for extra lights and accessories.



That's all I got right now. LOL

I love driving with all four windows down but hate rolling them up when one does it magically lol. First world problem!

Has anyone mentioned adaptive cruise control?

 

 

I assume you would like that? Not me. Most of that lengthy list that Badmunky posted, I probably only saw a couple of items that really caught my eye as being maybe worthy. If a truck had all that stuff on it he mentioned, I doubt I would even take a second look at it. I really don't like a lot of what is on my 2015 2500 LT, but it can be tolerated when the entire truck is taken into account.

 

That "take it al"l package way of doing things is my only real gripe with GM. I have to take a laundry list of stuff to get the 1 or 2 items that I really want. Most of the other stuff I either have little use for or don't even use at all.

 

Yet, they offer little in the way of real functionality. Like offering a bed option that includes lid covered side storage compartments similar to what Dodge offers on their Rams. I realize that would take up a little actual bed space, but then most folks fit what they need between the wheel wells anyway.

Indeed. One thing I really wanted was power fold mirrors (I'm just funny that way) and the only way to get them was to go to LTZ.

Hi guys! I am new.

I have a 2000 GMC K2500hd regular cab long bed. some upgrades that i will like are: air intake system, exhaust headers, engine tune (want better performance and more gas x mile), new grille, new tailgate handler with rear camera, new steering wheel, new rims, double exhaust, telescope/towing power headed mirrors with signal lights, upgrate back lights and third lights with LEF and halo or projector light?, tailgate assist strut, replace bench seats with power bucket seat-headed of course, remote starter. Well there is more but now that's it. I already started with new nerb bars.

Thanks!

I wish my 2014 Z71 LT had...

 

- Garage door opener

- Memory seats

- Bigger sunglass holder in overhead console (my glasses won't fit in my holder)

- Navigation

A lot of navigation requests. I have nav in my 15 and I have used it once. Works great though, it even knows where you will encounter construction. I know everywhere i need to go in the neighboring cities though so to me it is wasted money, but i dealer searched my 6.2L and had to take nav and rear slider which i didn't want either but have grown to appreciate the sliding window. I get why people in US's large urban areas would want it though. I wish we had a powder-coated frame option although I have kept up with my 2015 and it still looks new.
