This is the main reason I am not getting the Custom trim level Trail Boss.  I just find it hard to believe that a leather wrapped steering wheel with controls aren't standard on a $40k+ vehicle...

OTOH, it's' hard to believe people buy a $40k+ vehicle without ensuring it has the options that are important to them....

I have swapped the steering wheel on my 2020 custom for a wheel from a 2020 LTZ. The wiring does not exist in the custom or WT trim trucks.     
 

to make the radio/phone controls work here are the things that are needed: 1. A replacement steering wheel with controls,  2. Replaced wire harness in the column, and to the DIC and Headunit. (Possibly the clockspring, but I cannot conform that),  3. A replacement gauge cluster with the upgraded DIC,  4. A replacement head unit that allows for the steering wheel control input.    
 

on top of that.... most likely going to need some programming for the ECU/DIC ..... at this time (2/19/2020) I don't believe anyone has actually completed a full swap of all these components to make it all work.

 

I really just wanted the leather wrapped wheel and used all the "guts/wiring" from my existing wheel to put into the leather wrapped shell.

Good job, Jason . Could one  also just replace  the steering control (part #6) and paddle (part # 3) , add the harness, cluster  and keep the existing steering wheel? See attachment. Thanks.

The radio controls are the paddle buttons on the back of the steering wheel, parts 7 & 8. Image is of the previous generation steering wheel but control layout is the same. Gonna take a wild guess that the holes on the back side probably aren’t even there on the base steering wheel (unless they put blank plates there).

Most likely you could.... but the audio control still isn't going to work without the head unit replacement, and programming to the ECU/DIC.   
 

these new trucks are much more specific than the older models with the components.   Unfortunately you really can't just swap the parts in/out because the electronics are all controlled and monitored by the computers..... ?

I understand that, the fog lights I ordered were on back order for 2 months. There are some guys on here who have been waiting for fuel pumps for more than 4-5 months. I hope you hood arrives soon!

I did the same thing because to get those options you have to get one with that package and that was 6-12k more than my custom trail boss.

I added a steering wheel with all the options on my Trail Boss Custom last night and the audio controls did not work. However, I might keep it because of the leather wrap.

not necessarily....its only about $1800 between a custom and LT trim and if you can buy and finance the right way you can save there too.....TB if needed/wanted is easy to replicate as well in aftermarket.....GM sells the kit so just depends how you go about the whole process....

 

adding interior is a PITA but suspension and tires is super easy

 

std LT Z71 4x4 all star and do gm lift for 1k.......add rims and tires when stock ones wear out....

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
