Don't the new Tahoe/Suburbans offer larger sunroofs? I could see it being an option in the future. I'd never get one due to the leak factor but they do look cool and should be an option. Especially when your competitors offer that option.

Once again....You want to look cool?  Have the Flash?  Buy the Ford,Ram!  You want a truck that lasts, does not leak from Panoramic roof and is probably safer?  Buy the Chevy....at the end of the day

No interest in panoramic sunroof nor any sunroof at all.   Maybe GM did the surveys and found out that it's going to be an extremely limited market.

As others have said, panoramic sunroofs have a very high chance of leaks and are very pricey. I'll pass.    Now a fully opening rear window....

IMO Sunroofs are the most over rated option. I have never even had mine open on my last three trucks. The Fords I have rode in with the full panorama roof are just plain stupid! 

Mines open every day (as long as it's not raining) in the summer. A/C is a rarely used option in my vehicles.

Gm can't figure out how to build a sliding rear window that doesn't explode in their trucks..... you really want the entire roof made of glass in one of these trucks lol.  Pass!

Nice while in motion, but if you ever rolled the thing your body would be recovered with the top half of your head missing. At least the fireman wont need the jaws of life, they will be able to shovel you up.

Same here. Warm weather on the highway I keep it tilted and the back slider open. Backroads I’ll open it up, unless im in direct sun bc that gets annoying.

RAM and Ford both offer the panoramic sun/moon roof on their top trim trucks, why hasn’t GM gone through and done it already? 

Considering all the problems with Ford's sunroof, maybe GM is avoiding that option. When the sunroof on their aluminum trucks isn't leaking, it's either rattling, refuses to open correctly, or decides to open itself up. Features like moonroofs or sunroofs always turn into guaranteed dealer visits down the road.

Now a days every damn option is bragging rights when your half ton is almost 80k . To most the standard sunroof works fine but some folks do like the big opening. Do we know if the refresh models also have dynamic/bending headlights ? 

Just curious what difference is between a loaded Limited Ram , VS limited Ford vs Denali.

Nope, just LED reflectors like before. Even on the $82K Denali Ultimate, which is a bit of a disappointment.

Was watching the review for the zr2 on youtube and one of the glaring holes in the refresh is still using the vintage 1991 sized gm sunroof, which by the way leaked as much as much any newer panoramic sunroofs back in the day. So those of you are probably right, that GM would half ass it and it would be another rear window slider, except this one would be much larger and above your head.

i have a feeling the big moonroof will come with all new engines/output when the new model comes out in 25'

      NEW TRUCK

      By PUSSLEGUT · Posted

      I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.

      New Duramax rumor?

      New engines will still be using DEF. You just won't have the limp modes occurring when you run out of DEF now.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      I am not a NOCO fan for a charger I would leave on a battery 24/7. The reason is, it doesn't really float. It waits until the battery drops to a certain voltage and then charges it back up to 14V. It's better than no charger I guess.
