- Cargo lights can't be turned on while driving still.

It is illegal to have white lights on the rear while driving. The cargo lights will never be able to be turned on in any vehicle from the factory.

Sucks because you could do it on GMT-900 and older.

My 1998 couldn't do it. I know there are a few times when people want to check loads, just like having the rear camera on while moving forward, but its a safety issue over our convenience.

Interesting they added a full size SD card slot back.

I like how GM changed out the rear seat head rest, not sure why so large blocking view but nice addition as well as the rear AC vents. One thing out of a few not listing, the back rear seat compartments will be completely blocked while sitting (no biggie) especially a no no once you install car seats which are a pain to install yet alone having to unhook just to use the rear seat compartment. No car seats great.

RAM and Ford also have large back seat Head Rests that block your view.

Must be an industry standard?

The 19 headrest folds down now

Thank you for the review.  I think GM nailed it on exterior looks.  Like you said, the radio could be improved.  I am guessing that comes in a few years.

Hm.  My 04 and 06 regular cab HD trucks would turn on the bed cargo light while driving.

Greeeeaat, wonder if there a replacement headrest out there or maybe just have to take them both off and get them reformed/molded a bit taller so grownups don’t wack the rear glass with their heads ha

Wondering if another front head rest would work from another GM vehicle, just a thought
