I think the noise is the electric parking brake. Push the button and see if that is the noise you are hearing.

No, this is different. I set my electric parking brake every night, as my driveway is an incline. (One of the new features I LOVE, btw.)

 

So after I start the truck, I turn off the brake and hear it disengage. The noise mentioned in the thread above is different, and it does sound like the fuel pump. Just more... jet-like, ha!

I found out this weekend that while using Android Auto (maybe CarPlay as well) if you rotate the right radio knob it will zoom the map in and out.

Discovered this today.... if you press on the skinny pedal on the right, you can find Ford F-150's in the rear view mirror...   They just appear there... its like magic!

In case you were wondering...  Two bottles of wine fit in the door compartment perfectly!

I just picked up The Trail Boss Z71 on friday evening. I love this truck. Any time i'm parked somewhere I just start fiddling around and find something cool. One little thing I noticed...The footstep(foot brace?) to the left of the brake pedal is more pronounced, like the mid 90's trucks. One thing I used to miss(I notice because I do a lot of bush/mountain driving). The A pillars are repostioned so there is less of a blind spot for pedestrians at crosswalks. I did not about about the rear view mirror and the other little things on this post - Big Thanks to you all!

I definitely agree on the visibility in this truck. Looking over my right shoulder through the rear-right of the cab... it is so much less obstructed than my 2007. I feel like I can really see out of the truck easily, and there are many fewer blind spots.

I discovered that if you leave the the turn signal on for a few minutes on the highway the dash display tells you to turn it off.  Simple but nifty.

The rear seat head rests fold down. It nobody is sitting in those seats, it makes it easier to see over your right shoulder

I actually just leave mine up. I don't find that they are that obtrusive, personally.

One thing I've been noticing, after a few weeks of driving my RST... 

 

The increased height of the bed has not really stuck out to me that much... until I started noticing how small my FOV out of the rear window is. The tailgate really eats up a lot more space than my 2007 did. You don't see quite as much of the road. 

 

Not really a complaint, just something I finally noticed this AM when I looked out the rear window via rear-view mirror to see if I had accidentally driven over something on the road.

Did yall know that ALL the power windows auto-down? 

 

I've owned my RST for over a month and just found that out this morning. I thought it was only the driver window, since it has the little "A" on it. I guess that means only the driver window auto-UPs.

So living in AZ we use sun shades quite a bit.   When I put one up and covered the sensor behind the rear view mirror (i didn't know there was one) it made the outside mirrors dark.   I didn't know the side mirrors would change at all but they sure do when that sensor is covered.

Another fun trivia fact, only LTZ and HC get auto up on the passenger window. I can only imagine the bean counters calculating the savings on only making the driver window auto up on the lower trims. :rolleyes:

Do you have HUD? I was taking a conf call in my truck with the truck turned off (so I was in it longer than normal), and noticed the HUD raises and lowers itself, which sounds a lot like the parking brake sound and (presumably) the fuel pump sound that has been described.

Yep, I would imagine SLT does too. I was just speaking on the Chevy side.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
