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. 

Filled a tire up on my truck yesterday and the horn beeped when at the right pressure! Pretty cool.

Just noticed the LED white  night lighting behind the driver and passenger door handles. 

Nice touch. 

Is there a way of turning them off cause I don't have those, and I would think it should have them.

Maybe not a cool feature, but interesting...  I notice that the T1s moved the side mirrors to the actual door panel instead of the window triangle.    Not sure why I noticed that, but now that I have, I see it in every car on the road... seems majority of vehicles have them mounted in the triangle... but a few others have door mounted mirrors... I'm sure they had their reasons.....

Helps reduce NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness) It helps keep vibrations off the glass which reduces wind noise. I'm sure there is more to it but that's the most obvious. Ford does this with the Mustang as well.

Exactly.  Thousands of hours spent in the wind tunnel to find the sweet spot for the side view mirrors.

A few guys here have also said these new mirrors have much better visibility than the ones on the K2s.

They are considerably better, IMO. First, they are LARGE mirrors again. Second, the positioning of them off the window/door corner, moved a little lower really does improve the angle for better POV from the driver's seat.

And I feel like there is better visibility going around a left turn when there is a median or something.

Man, I love this truck, so cold weather has finally arrived. The last time Indrove it, I had the AC on.

So, early this morning I do a remote start, and when I get in shes as warm as can be and the steering wheel is heated too.

Really love this new Silverado!

I am hugely happy with how it reacts to remote starting in the cold.

 

full defrost. Heated seats on. Heated steering wheel.

 

awesome

Absolutely! The window defrosted and those heated seats are NICE!

Yea they did a better job on this truck than the K2's. Remote start used your last HVAC setting, heated seats on low, and no heated steering wheel until you got in and hit the button...

The “Peremiter Lighting System” succeeds the the previous, cargo box lighting feature on the K2 Generation. On the 2019 Silverado, the Perimeter Lighting System is standard on top two trim levels; LTZ & High Country. On the 2019 Sierra, the Perimiter lighting is available on 3 trim levels; SLT, AT4, and Denali.

 

The Perimeter Lighting system illuminates the truck’s bed as well as the area around the vehicle, thereby helping owners see their truck as well as immediately surrounding area in poorly-lit conditions, including dark worksites, camping grounds and driveways.

 

 

Is this standard for all AT4’s? Does that include the light on the side view mirrors? 
 

I looked at an AT4 that had them, could not find which package it was included in.

Apple CarPlay and navigation - the HUD and Driver Information Screen will only show navigation when using the onboard navigation but not with when using Apple CarPlay (Assume Google is the same) That's too bad. I tried to "trick" it by using both but engaging one navigation will cancel the other. 

So, if I understand correctly. If you use WAZE as an app on your Apple phone, you could NOT display it on the infotainment screen while the car was in motion? 

[eppieguy]

It does display on the infotainment system, not on the HUD. All Waze functions works via touchscreen.
