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


Interesting! Haven’t towed yet. I wonder if it is indeed just the 2020s or if maybe they did us 2019 guys a favor and included it. Wishful thinking!

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!

Good question, I’m not sure on that one. I have a 2020 3500 now but had a 2019 1500 before this, I never did tow anything with the 1500 when I had it though.

I had a 19 and no it did not turn the camera on (with turn signal) when trailering.

Is it a 7 ping you have plugged in for it to detect? I am not sure why this is not enabled by default.

It should be any of the trailer plugs. I recently hooked up a 4-pin and it activated it.

I read through about 7 pages and didn't see this, but has anyone else noticed (I have a 2020 sierra SLT) the parking brake automatically engaging if the tuck rocks hard enough. I just bought the truck at the end of April and I have noticed it do it twice while climbing in and out of the bed of the truck on the multipro tailgate.   Thought that was pretty cool feature if that is indeed the case.  This is with the truck off too when it has happened to me.  (And no, its not the fuel pump priming that I'm hearing.  Its for sure the brake).  :)

 

Never mind!  I finally found where it was mentioned on an earlier page.  Just consider this a refresher I guess. :)

Here is another cool feature I found. I'm sure its been mentioned, but didn't want to dig through 30 pages looking for it. :)

 

 If you are plugging up your phone to use apple car play or android auto, you can plug in your cable inside the console and run your cable out under the console handle. They left room for your cables.  The will keep it cleaner and less cables in the way of your cupholders and stuff.

Now this is a neat trick and one I hadn’t experimented with. Thanks!

My first post here.?

Just bought a 2020 and needed to hard wire my radar detector. Right (PS) side of dash has a fuse block. Found several 1/4" spade type male connectors here.. Most were 12Volt's DC(+) constant battery powered, but found one that was ignition controlled. Used a push on 1/4" female insulated connector with inline fuse (+) and grounded (-) to the metal support brace that was there and now my radar detector turns on only when the truck is running.Tucked the wire up into front of headliner and down right (PS) A-Pillar.?

Your post just reminded me of a "feature" that I noticed the other day and it will save you 1 button press (16% increase in efficiency). You don't need to release the P brake with the button. Just put the truck in drive or reverse and the P brake will release as soon as you touch the accelerator.

It's actually recommended that you do not do this, to avoid damaging it

I guess I'm not seeing where they say it is not recommended, but then again, I don't have the best reading comprehension. lol

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Z45 · Posted

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.
