If you have the HUD with built in Navigation you can obviously display the directions through the HUD.  Unfortunately, if you prefer WAZE for directions you cannot display the WAZE directions through the HUD.  However, if you set up your destination with the built in Nav first you can then go through Android Auto and also set up the destination in WAZE to display on the center digital display.  Basically , you have 2 Navigation's running at the same time.  You have the advantage of the directions showing on the HUD and also getting the traffic, hazards, police updates from WAZE.  On long trips, WAZE has saved me a number of times in avoiding major backups.

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.

Nice idea. Makes those stake pocket holes obsolete.

Nice!  Where did you get it?  Do you have a part number?

I ordered the handle, bracket and bolts from the GMC Dealer and installed it in 5 minutes. I don’t have the part # but I am sure they can hook you up.54FFA4B5-CA65-4982-AD56-0437AF76FA21.thumb.jpeg.ffc9338caad580fc906fcb4b6193d941.jpeg

Picked up my Trail Boss Thursday and did a road trip to the states Friday. Cool that when you switch the units the speedometer dial and DIC convert to MPH.

 

Coming from a 2017 F150 and it didn’t do that. Only thing I miss about the F150 is the big gas tank.

 

Ohhh and I miss the console shift as well.

The truck will detect if your trailer's light is malfunctioning and tell you which to check accordingly. Another big this is the truck will automatically engage parking brake if you're loading up the trailer and rock the truck a bit.  I found this out as I was rocking my boat trailer back and forth just a little to get the wheel chock out, as I was doing this I heard the brake on the truck engaging.

Another small but nice change I noticed. On my 2016 the oil fill was a screw on cap on the valve cover. My 2019 has a filler tube that is high over valve cover and it is level so a funnel sits on it level. Much easier and less messy.  ???

Do you have a picture? I would love to see this.

It actually took me a few seconds...i'm slow today. LMAO.

 

This also made me sad b/c it reminds me i'm about to drop some money to get the cam phasers replaced on my F-150 so I can get rid of it.

Your parking brake will disengage when you press the gas pedal.

Sorry IMO they're all trash. They're annoying AF in stop and go traffic or when you stop at a stop sign for two seconds and it shuts off and turns right back on again and for the 4% fuel mileage savings they say you'll get I'll pass. It's the dumbest feature they've come out with on new vehicles in a long long time...

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
