Until they figure out a way to enlarge the evap,  or add and 2nd smaller evap, I'd remove sunroofs and add the option to add headliner a/c & heat like the SUV's with  a 2nd blower motor,  its moot

The sad part most of those people there could probably care les about pickup trucks   Also I felt like I was in the Blair Witch project video.  Jeez to much to ask for a higher quality video

Those look incredibly useful, biggest news ever! No doubt a make or break buying decision, looks like my feet might be semi cool in the lower models and knee in the higher end models in the summer :lol:

Looked like there was some sort of HUD projector on that high country

Yeah totally agree.  The video quality wasn't the best.  Funniest part was near the end when the cameraman got in the current model truck and thought he was in the new one.  Not the most informed individual.  But the reason that I posted this was that sometimes amateurs post and show things that official GM doesn't want to discuss yet.  (Like the rear vents)  TFL truck had a vid up this morning that showed push button start.  Not a big thing for me, but for some it was the holy grail of any redesign.  

 

This skip fire technology that I've been reading about sounds interesting IF IT WORKS with long term reliability and without headaches.  I still think there's another engine out there as GM was somewhat evasive when asked about another engine.  Guess we'll see in a few weeks.

I wasnt knocking that you posted this, I appreciate it.  The comment was directed more at the amateur (my 5 yr old daughter can take better video with an iphone) person taking the video.  

 

The start stop technology scares me a bit as you mentioned reliability. We will see.  The truck will have push button start.  I never thought it was a big deal until I drove a new camaro with it.  I actually like it, so much so I am trading up to a 2018 :)  

 

HUD is what I really want, hope they offer it on more than high country trucks as I dont want that model.

My 2011 LTZ had rear seat vents. I don't know why they got lost in 2014. As it has already been mentioned, it definitely looks like a HUD projector in The High Country. I'm surprised it wasn't talked about in the video. I wonder when they will reveal the GMC version? The Chevy is looking pretty good to me, but the jury is still out.

The button on the lower center stack with the A and circle around it should cut the feature off, but will have to hit the button every time you restart. All the new 2018 vehicles I have seen have the feature. The 2018 Buick enclave and Chevy traverse have it but no button to turn it off. They have to be driven in manual mode on the trans to disable it. It just another treat from the government.

 

I went back and looked at the 2018 Tundra and there is no mention of start stop tech in the specs. The Tundra is the only truck out for now that doesn't have all this gimmick crap on them. If you want a truck like we use to drive and enjoyed them this is the truck. I know we all curse them for mpgs and being behind in all the tech crap but maybe its all been for a reason. I have had a Tundra and I must say it was a good truck had no problems at all. But I had to have more bells and whistles just like everyone else. To much technology being pushed today. Its all nice but just more to give trouble.

 

Just my thoughts.

My Grand Cherokee has start stop and I hate it. I was able to buy a device that plugs into the OBDII port to keep it off as hitting the button every time was annoying and the system was just too damn slow to get the engine running if you wanted to make a quick turn onto a busy road. I know on F150s you can just plug anything into the trailer wiring and it will keep ESS off. 

 

In typical Chrysler quality, even before I bought this plug in thing I would get random errors saying the stop/start function had a fault and to bring it in for service but it always clears on the next restart. Never brought it up with the dealer cause I just don't care. I'll be back in a pickup next year and I'm excited to see more of the new GM stuff. Not committed to it but I know that I definitely won't be getting a Ram. I'm through with Chrysler. Both this and the Wrangler have had too many issues new vehicles shouldn't have.

The start/stop tech is not "gimmick"....its goverment making them squeek out every MPG.

 

Just like the awful shifting transmission... awful overall drivability. Front air dams that sit only inches above the pavement, etc

 

That start / stop tech sucks.... I can almost guarantee you that you will have to disable it each time you start up. My wife's car has this, I knew this new truck would get it as well. I assume every vehicle will have it in few more years

I did say it was a push from the goverment. Its to cut down on emissions from idling.

I think start/stop technology makes a lot of sense.  Reducing emissions is in everybody's best interest and this sounds like a painless way for us to do our part.  I test drove a '09 Sierra hybrid when new and was very impressed with how seamlessly it could switch between electric and gas operation.   I assume the  start stop  technology in the 2019 will reflect 10 years of perfecting this function.

Rear heated Seat!

 

Butt heat only? I don't see the back heat on the button icon.

 

Left and right heat only? Center unheated?

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
