First Pick-Up truck :)  I just retired (well, forced retirement) my 1999 Isuzu Trooper :)

Most other vehicles I've seen have the audio controls on the front of the steering wheel....

Wait, come to think of it, my SS's were on the front side too! ?

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!

Front of the wheel is just sort of awkward. Think the last vehicle we had with the volume controls on the front was a 1999 Aurora. Also had climate controls on the other side, which was kind of cool and not seen anymore. Otherwise, even Chrysler products have had the buttons on the back from at least the mid-90s on. Don’t know about Fords.

a power-lift tailgate is not available on the 2019 Sierra in any trim/option/package; that's a Chevy exclusive. 

 

The remote up window feature is a typo slated for update. Remote roll up in a pinch hazard. Certain vehicles you can get a module that plugs into your OBDII port and will autoclose the windows. I had one on my 2011 regal, cost me $12 on ebay. 

 

The 2016 and up Sierra has has remote window down.

My 2015 had it as well.

This is caused by one thing.   Lawyers.

 

(Sorry in advance if any of you are actually lawyers :seeya:)

So... If you are reading that message and crash, Can you sue GM for distracting the driver by requiring them to read the message and hit OK or would the message be used against you as in that was your warning not to take your eyes off the road? ?

And heated seats and steering wheel if you have them.

And the ventilated seats as well when hot out.

My 2012 Kia and my wife's 2013 Toyota both have buttons on the front of the wheel for audio controls and my cruise control buttons are also on the front of the wheel.  Based on the GMs I've driven, I have no strong preference between the two locations.

This is the standard view yes. I don’t have the max trailer package either. If you have the extra sensors I would think your truck has the package. Think it is called the pro trailer package or something like that. Really enjoying it so far! Only wish it could handle more trailers! 

I have the pro trailering system and the truck came with 4 TPS  for a trailer. I read somewhere where it will support multiple trailers if you purchase more sensors obviously.

I believe it will support up to 6 sensors! So I guess that could be three single axle trailers. I just have a few double axle trailers!

Six sensors per trailer
multiple trailers can be programmed

Was at the OBX this week on vacation. When airing the tires up after wheeling on the beach, the horn beeps when each tire reaches the correct pressure.

I have a LT Trailboss and this does not work, is this not on all trucks?

I don't know, my truck is an RST. The truck was running when airing up. We aired up multiple times and it did it each time for each tire.

my 1998 beetle has auto up widows that have a safety built in.  It they hit your hand, they go back down.  Also, you can open and close the windows with the key in the drivers door.  Just twist and hold in the appropriate direction.  This was 20 years ago!!

Yep, unfortunately Dan is correct. I just tried it. No power up.  

On my High Country,  on the remote, press the tailgate button twice to lower it.  Press it once then hold it down and it closes

I've been reading about the air in the tire beeping LOL.  I found on my build sheet where they list it.  Not sure if it's standard but definitely listed as an item on the build sheet.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      That sir is a choice. And even if it were not for all the reasons stated, this disruption has zero to do with the reality of the actual logistics and everything to do with the greed of SPECULATION. Spot price is irrelevant to reality.

      Gas Prices

      What I think you're saying is there is supply here at home, and in Venezuela, and we could ease pricing if only it were favorable to do so.   Well, yes?   But that's not the current market. Supply isn't what could someday exist, if only, it's what producers are willing to produce and sell at a certain price point.   The national price of single family homes would come way down if we'd just slap together a few million homes this summer.   RAM and GPUs would get a lot cheaper if we just set up some factories to produce a bunch more and stopped using it to build out AI data centers.

      The turn signal/multifunction switch is faulty.  I've seen a few of these go bad at work.

      If we actually used any significant amount of that source in the USA then I'd agree but we don't. We've had that discussion before. We drill and pump more than we use. Thing is, we sell. We export. Gas and Crude. It's more profitable so any shortage here is self inflicted and LEGAL.    I worked a gas plant that has multiple fuel sources available and I worked in the furnace and boiler plant in that facility. I'd had days we swapped fuel types four times in a twelve hour shift which isn't done on supply but on margin. Two of the fuel sources are internally generated. Tail gas and DAK, both of which are sold as well a consumed. We always had more than we needed to run the process but we chose the fuel that produced the best margin not bought at the cheapest price always. A good bit of math to that and back in the time that was done on a slide rule.     I worked the Shale Oil Semiworks of Chevron Research and CONOCO Research in Salt Lake City. That process never went into production although it was very successful. Why? Did we lack oil bearing shale? Nope. Price of crude never made the margins work. That was in the late 70's early 80's. Remember history? What was happening then was a reaction to that situation. It didn't drive it. If so then it's easy. This isn't a supply and demand thing. This is a profit and margin thing and AI rules that now.    In no refining situation that I was ever in would a bomb hitting a well anywhere in the world 'instantly' interrupt or even distress the supply. Most plants have more than a months worth of crude in the tank field and more in pumping stations. That yo-yo could play out over days, weeks and maybe months and have zero impact on plant operations. How many times has this been off and on in the last few months? These people and not stupid. These plants measure down time in hundreds of thousands of dollars per day. They are not sucking fumes or waiting on the next truckload with baited breath. Besides, as I noted, they are for the most part 'vertically integrated'. They own it from the dirt is sits in to the delivery rack and sometimes to the pump. It has a HUGE shock absorber built in. When production suffers, refining wins and when refining is winning exploration is killing. The rest of that crap in the news is a 'news cycle'. Government dipping in to reserves? Oil is stealing their milk money. There's a reason Chevron abandon Venezuela infrastructure and it had nothing to do with security of US citizens. Nationals run those plants. it has to do with MARGINS disappearing to corruption. They are in no hurry to return. Is there supply there? Oh yea. More than enough to offset what is bought in the middle east. Just isn't ???? Profitable.    We have supply. There are places in Illinois you can drive a pipe into the ground and run your homes natural gas furnace on it.    A refinery fire will gum up the supply works but not a localized war where the market is using a limited supply from. Now Europe, that's something other....
