I had to google this "start stop" button to figure out what you guys are talking about. Now I understand. I did not know this was coming to our trucks.

 

I drove a rental car in Ireland that had this feature on a manual transmission. I about crapped myself the first time it killed in traffic and I didn't know it was supposed to do that. But after a few days I was used to it. Yes, its weird, but it barely affects regular driving.

 

I think if I got a truck with the feature, I'd leave it on and see how it affects me. I don't drive through much traffic or commute where there's a ton of stop lights.

 

Just like AFM, there will be people who MUST disable the feature, but I bet for most people who commute through areas with stop lights, it will be a nice feature to have.

 

All that aside, the front end is fugly. I'm glad I got a 2015 and don't have to buy one of these.

They come down. No one's going to be incentivizing the 2019's heavily when they still have a lot full of 2018's to clear out.

 

I paid less for my 2018 than I did my 2007. Both purchased new, both LT Z71 Crew Cabs.

They won't be huge discounts but Laura has a 2019 Sierra Denali with $4,907 off MSRP.  I bet some of the high volume dealers with have some discounts probably but the K2 trucks will be more heavily discounted more than likely.

I actually would have thought that Trail Boss would sticker higher than 55k. A current LT Z71 stickers at 50 nowadays, without all the Trail Boss stuff.

All depends on options..... heavily optioned is closer to 58k     Sierra AT4 optioned out is around 62K  but you can get a 6.2 in a sierra AT4.

No 6.2 Option for a Trail Boss.

The Sierra Tail lights are similar to the 02-06 Chevy Avalanche and the 2005-2015 Chevy Colorado in shape.  

Not a fan of these new Sierra Tail lights :shakehead:

Not sure how to even respond to this....   LOL

Follow some of my other posts where I praise GM and knock Ford and Ram.

Also where I praise the look of the new Silverado over the Sierra.

You know what they say about opinions?

If you look at my profile I do not drive an " '18 "

Maybe your response is meant for someone else...………………………….. ????????

 

Enjoy your " '19 " !  :thumbs:

Awesome!  I almost pulled the trigger on a 2018 2500 high country Duramax the other day, but didn't because the cab felt small compared to my 2017 Superduty.

 

I'm looking forward to driving a 2019 to see if GM really does have the biggest cab finally.   There is a huge difference in size between the current ford cab and GM cab, with the Ford cab being more spacious.   But I'd rather have a Duramax than a Powerstroke if GM finally fixed this.

I like a lot of the stuff on that truck.  Between the new cool stuff and the 470lbs less weight, it's starting to offset the ugliness.

I don't have a problem with the looks, but I am a little skeptical as to the 470 lbs of improvements while claiming larger cab and box.  I have a '15  and I can't find many places where I'd like to see less steel!

jees.. these 2019 Denali's look about 3 years behind the 2019 RAM limited in regards to tech.  And for the first time ever, I think both the Sierra and Silverado look awful.  

I have been 25 years loyal ...new GM's trucks every few years.  Will be ordered a RAM this time....

Maybe it's all the aluminum??  I thought I read somewhere on here plastic leaf springs also for the 19's??? I hope it's true anyway.

Well, the plastic hood latch had to shave off a good 2...3 ounces...

I haven't seen you around for quite awhile!  I always liked what you had to say but this comment will need some elaboration!  I know Fiat has installed a big television set in the dashboard of the new RAM but I think Red Green is their technical adviser.  ;-)  What are the differences that you see?

Look at some YouTube videos of the 2019 limited. Just a few things..
Air ride
Ram box
floor box/cooler
Vented and heated rear seats..that recline btw
Much more soft touch interior
Auto high beams
Lights that turn/move with truck
active shutters/ auto lowering for Aero
Etourque battery (personally don't like)
Auto wipers
massive 12in display

**Gm may have a few of these things now in 2019...not sure

Anyway...its leaps and bounds ahead of GM. Again..I have been diehard GM for many years...never thought in a million years i would own a Dodge...but I had to amit they are clearly top now...

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
