I searched and found nothing, figured Id ask here since its a "feature". 

 

I know the High Country instrument cluster has a larger screen, and the auxiliary gauges are digital vs analog.  Other then that, is there MORE information that is availible on a HC vs lower end models? Or is it the same info, just displayed in a prettier fashion?

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!

I think I saw somewhere that more information is presented on the dash when you enable tow/haul. I think it shows transmission temp as well as engine temp? Someone else with a HC will have to confirm this.

Also a cool “feature” on my truck is that the right defroster vent leaks so that side gets all fogged up when I don’t need the defroster on. Regretting this purchase!

Warranty?

I’ve taken it in 4 times in the 2 weeks I’ve owned it. Last thing I want is for them to pull the dash apart. I’m gonna attempt to diagnose it myself tomorrow.

I've found that when I fill up on fuel the gas gauge is off.  I've pumped gas until the pump clicks, waited a full minute, put more in as much as possible.  The gas gauge never shows full tank.  Does this have to do with me switching the "Best fuel economy" from the last 50 miles to the last 25 miles, or vise versa?

No, it shouldn't matter about the fuel economy display for 25 or 50 miles.  Are you filling up with the truck running?  If it never shows full, I'd say it's time for a trip to the dealer for warranty work.

This may have been covered already but I’ve seen a lot of people trying to find a way to close them besides the button on the door panel. I figured out if you press and hold the lock button for about 1-2 seconds It folds your mirrors while locking. Press and hold unlock To unfold while unlocking.

Does it do that without the trailer connected?

It does not unfortunately. Only when trailer is connected. Unless you faked it out by leaving something plugged in haha

      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.
