Just picked this up yesterday. My last two trucks were Summit White so this time around I went with the Carbon Black Matalic. 2c61469951411d67bdb00fd0c39968f1.jpg8699e8ee27368698fa0cf04634e3cc45.jpg

Just picked her up Friday. 2020 LT Trail Boss, 5.3 liter. Didn’t really want the running boards or sports bar, but stock was very limited and I really wanted the color and standard bed. I’m actually starting to like the look. I’m very happy so far. First Chevy. Coming from a Ram 1500.

 

What tonneau covers can I use with the sport bar?

GM has a soft roll up tonneau cover that work for about $500. I had no difficulty at all getting the Rough Country trifold tonneau to install, but you won't be able to fully open the tonneau cover beyond the first section due to the sport bar angling inward and getting in the way. I have the short bed on my truck. Your result may be slightly different due to having a longer bed. With that said, I also installed the Rough Country before I installed the sport bar. Before selecting a tonneau cover my dealer also told me the $2500 GM Accessories roll up tonneau cover would work too. a7748be62fe3d8ad9013dd516f06aa10.jpg

Thanks Transient, useful information. It seems that my options are going to be limited.

 

The soft root up will be my fallback. Not sure I am willing to spend $2500.

Awesome truck. What kit did you use to lower it?

IHC 3/5

Enjoying the progress of my 2020 Custom Trail Boss. Fog light install, level, and new shoes to follow.....

You're welcome. I'm glad my experience was able to help you. It was a struggle for me to get answers when I was looking. I was getting bad info from dealer (and could tell instantly), and not much else out there for info. Beware that if you try remove the sport bar you will have to deal with electrical in the fuse block to make the high mount stop light above your rear window function.

Is that with the helper bags? How's it ride?

 

I've got a 3/5 going in in a week or so; Belltech spindles and struts in the front, Maxtrac flip kit in the back......but I've been told that the ride would be really rough with that much drop in the back, without doing a notch; be good to hear from someone who's actually gone that low.

How you liking having the sunroof tinted?  you pay someone or do it yourself?

I love it.  It keeps it just as cool from the sun as if you had the cover closed without it being as dark.  I had it done at the same time when I had it in for the ceramic coating.

First 'almost' new Chevy in a while, last one was a 2013 BlackDiamond LTZ Avalanche.  Bought this 2019 with 8000 miles.    No mods yet except for LineX  bed liner.  The step bars come already on it,  and less than two months already showing signs of wear.  LineX guys said they would spray them for 200 bucks if I ever decide to get them done.

Yeah mine started showing wear right away. I'm easy on them so definitely disappointed from the durability aspect.

    • 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.      
    • 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?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
