I have the 6.2/10sp AT4 and just got back from a 700 Mile trip to Georgia. Average 20.1 mpg per the computer. Average speed on the highway 70.

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!

In case you were wondering...  Two bottles of wine fit in the door compartment perfectly!

You're more than welcome to come hoist my truck into the air, drop the gas tank, and remove and measure all the fuel so you can get an exact amount. Otherwise, what I've presented is all anybody is going to get. After all, we can only guesstimate how much fuel is actually in the tank since we aren't accounting for each and every do since the truck was built. From gas pumps to the DIC, we are stuck with digital measurements to give us the numbers.

Now now don’t be silly. You don’t need to do all that. Miles driven divided by gallons added is much easier. No hoist needed. I track each tankful and the guesstimate on the dash always shows a higher number (better fuel mileage).

?omg. I just discovered you can have the drivers or passenger side mirrors tilt down when you put the truck in reverse. Now that is cool. It saved me from from running over a ?. 

I'm assuming this can be turned on/off in the vehicle settings? Is it a trim level thing?

I just hunted through the settings in my 2019 LT Trail Boss and could not find anything. I want this.

I don’t know if this feature is trim specific. But I do have an LTZ crew cab short box with the 6.2l. And I found the setting while learning the infotainment system and it’s settings. It’s in the vehicle settings.

Believe you need an LTZ or High Country for the mirror function.

Iirc, TFL did just that and found the number on the dash to be fairly accurate. They do have a long term Trail Boss that they bought, but it's a 5.3.

The 6.2 is better on fuel than the 5.3, I’ve owneda 2014, 2017 and 2019 6.2’s and a 2018 5.3. Out of these 4 trucks the 5.3 was the worst on fuel. The best was the 2017 6.2 /8spd.

 

hand calculated on my 2019 is consistently within a couple tenths of what the DIC reports.

 

here’s my log of my 2019, mix of city/highway. 4x4 High Country standard bed Z71. 6.2/10spd, always running 91 octane. My 18 double cab 4x4 elevation edition 5.3 was around 10% thirstier.

Well after 382 gallons logged in 21 fuel-ups I can confidently say my dash estimate is incorrect.

Do you have the technology package?

No I do not. I ordered it with just the LTZ Plus package, Z-71 off road and protection package, and the amazing 6.2l V-8.

For those that have the 2020 silverado with the key fob feature that rolls all four windows down at once heres something I just tried:

 

Press the the unlock button on the fob.  Then press and hold the unlock button until all four windows start rolling down.  

 

I've heard a LOT of complaints about this feature that why would you want them all down.  Well maybe it's hot and you just want them cracked open a bit or half way down....

 

When the windows have reached the level you want them down, press the unlock button again to STOP them all from rolling down at the level you've reached. 

 

Hope this helps someone!!  I used a horrible smelling cleaner on my mats and I wanted them down a bit to air the truck out.  

 

Turtle wax spray cleaner smells awful!!!

I don’t agree with German engine and trannys at all. The newish jettas are plagued with a grinding noise at rpms. 

 

My wife drives a 2018 S5 Sportback.  The reverse flow turbo 3.0L V6 and 8 speed ZF are pure magic.

 

And to stay on topic..... The remote mirror fold is nice in the fact that it takes two button presses.

On my '20 AT4, pulling into the garage, once I got close to the wall my forward camera came on allowing me to see how close I was.  Great feature!

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.
