For 2020, only the usual minor trim and accessory changes until the "major re-design" hits the market in 2022.

But because GM will not be providing a reliable replacement for the problematic 8 speed transmission in mid-sized trucks, I suggest you look at other makers vehicles and avoid GM.

By the way, within my extended family, a new 2019 Ford F-150 XL 5.0 liter 10-speed was purchased for LESS THAN the price of a comparable mid-sized Colorado or Canyon.

It was determined that the 8 speed transmission problems in their 2018 Canyon could not be permanently fixed, and from arbitration they were awarded "buy-back".

They paid cash for the F-150 and had some money left over. And they even liked the color ....

Also, check out the following links, maybe it will help with a purchase decision ?

In addition, within the Romulus Transmission plant, there is currently no production activity for the 10L45 10-speed transmission for the Colorado Canyon platform. This probably means that, regardless of the continuing 8 speed problems, there will probably be no 10 speed option until the redesign in 2022.

 

Members of the production staff at Romulus tell me that new production capability is being aimed toward the 10L90 transmission, and on the new Allison 10 speed for the 2500 and 3500 Silverado series.

 

If you are still considering a 2020, it's my opinion that all you'll find is a 2019.

This is exactly the info I've been searching for. I'm also considering a purchase but I am wary of the dreaded 8-speed. I was hoping they would announce for the 2020 that they are bringing out the 10 speed or better yet bringing back the 6 speed for gas. I'm glad to hear you have some inside info. My current plan is to try and find a 2016 in Emerald Green Gem. I've read the 6 speeds in those can be fixed with a software update and they are the best. Since the color is so rare, I'm having a hard time finding them. So I'm still looking forward to the official release of the 2020 to see if they might bring that color back. (I doubt it) If they do I might still risk the 8 speed to get the color. haha. For me a full size is not on the table. I've rented an F150, Colorado, and Tacoma. Handling, size, and ride quality can't be beat from the GM twin mid size. I really enjoyed riding in it, of course it was a fairly new rental and it had the shudder.

I have had a 2015 SLT and  currently a 2017 Denali, the 15 had a six speed and the 17 has an eight speed. I am one satisfied owner who has not had to visit the service department for anything but oil changes, the transmissions in both vehicles operated smoothly, rarely feeling the shift points.  I know there are some who have had problems but I am not one of these and I feel the vast majority of owners fall into my category.    Last Thursday I placed an order for a 2020 Denali with an eight speed transmission but alas still no sun roof or power rear slider.

Why not wait to see if 2022 offers up a sunroof or power slider?

Sierra Dan,   Well just maybe if I like changes in the 2022 I will order a new Denali, especially if the sun roof and power slider are included.  In the mean time I can suffer through with another Denali that has only minor upgrades, that and the fact that I usually buy a new vehicle every two or three years keeps the “new smell” in my garage.:D

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
