I hope they update the lesser trimmed models by maintaining the storage of even an LT.  The current set up of going out of the way to delete the armrest storage in a custom is annoying.  For some reason it really bugs me.

It's sad that guys are basing their truck purchase on the size of the screen. I mean really sad. What's wrong with you guys? You should just get a stupid Dodge then.

Personally I have a large screen tv in my house, I don't need one in my truck. lol

You guys all worried about how big the screen will be. Sad. I want to know what's under the hood. I could care less how big the screen is.

Went and drove the new Chevy HC and GMC Denali early this past summer and GM sadly missed the mark on all fronts, especially with the front end on the Chevy.

A month or so later, after pulling a maxed-out two axle U-Haul trailer (and fully loaded bed) with my 2010 1500 Silverado, I again looked but this time drove a 3/4 ton Ram for a little better towing capacity.  Difference in comfort, accouterments, driveability and general looks was striking.  There's a reason Ram is gaining market share- They are researching the market and building better product. 

Down side as mentioned is the price.  The problem is the only GM offering I'd consider, the 1/2 ton GMC Denali, was nearly the same MSRP as the comparable 3/4 ton diesel Ram.  And no, the Ram wasn't the top-line but the Laramie which IS sadly comparable to the Denali.  I will be the 1st to concede the Ram traditionally drops value quicker but that is historical and would be interested to see if that holds true.

 

In the end, I opted against a new truck because the price for new was too stout for what I'd actually get.  I opted to update my "old" low-mile GMT900 truck.  The 900 (LTZ) interior may not have the integrated tech of the new trucks but it's better laid out and oddly more comfortable.  GM hasn't given me a compelling reason to trade, other than a dash that may not crack like the GMT900 trucks- yes, have already replaced mine! 

 

Hope GM fires whoever designed the current interiors and the horrendous Chevy front end and start over.  I say that currently owning 4 Chevy vehicles and being a GM fan for decades...

Totally disagree.  I love the fact the Chev has a new look that is different from all the others And I really like the interior over my 2017.  I think it is the best looking HD available and really prefer the interior from a user friendly standpoint over the Ram.  I rented a top end Ram a month ago and while it looked nice, user experience was poor.  I had to navigate the touch screen every time I wanted to turn on or off the cooled seats and many functions were hidden and not readily available.  I Say this as a non biased buyer who test drove all manufacturers before buying my 2020 HD.  Ram looks dated in my opinion.

See I think the front end style you have looks pretty good, but I didn't at first. It has really grown on me. I still can't get past it on the lower trim levels though.

The front ends are ugly-and the interiors are sub par-especially on the "high end" models.

The 2019 redesign has been very much a topic of debate.  When your selling over 40,000 units a month-you don't want controversy.

 

A redesign is sorely needed.

As the truck market becomes more and more competitive we can expect to see refreshes more often, which is a good thing as it gives GM a chance to fix the ugly front and back end of the Silverado and back end of the Sierra.  And the refresh for the new HDs can't come soon enough, especially the Silverado.  BLAH.

Well, now that GM released the 2021 Suburban and Tahoe new models today, we know a little more about what the future will hold for a Silverado/Sierra refresh. 
 

Everyone betting GM would change the exterior styling was (Trump voice) wrong. ? All the haters need to swallow that the T1 truck design is the look of today and tomorrow with GM trucks. ????
 

My guess is the 2021 trucks get the 10” Infotainment screen, the electric drive selector (bye, column shifter. It was nice knowing you!), and maybe an updated dash display of some kind. 
 

Otherwise, looks like most of the T1 features are here to stay for a while. 
 

(BTW, that Z71 Tahoe with the air ride suspension is ? ? ?)

Based on sales and the opinion of the general public,  the Chevrolet look of today and tomorrow is ugly and may be why Chevrolet dropped to number 3.

God.  Have you sat in one?  They're not good on the inside.  They actually took a step or backwards from the k2xx. 

 

Cheap materials and blank buttons everywhere.  

 Yes, I have to agree with you.

 

One big thing that stands out to me, is the 8" screen. It's the same size as my 2018, but because of the lines/geometry of the T1 interior in ends up looking smaller somehow and feels farther away from you. That's just my opinion though..

I think the new interior is laid out nicely in my opinion and while not much different from the previous model a nice evolution.  Lots of little things addressed on the new trucks that aren't necessarily noticed until you live with one for a while.  Could the screen be bigger?? Maybe but not a huge deal to me.  Overall very happy with the 2020 HD especially how much smoother they ride.

the high prices of the high trim trucks actually helps GM reduce the margins/costs on the lower trim/fleet vehicles.  

But not enough to extend that to regular cabs.... ?

love the new look of T1....cant stay same forever, best looking truck on market imo, I also love column shifter, grew up with trucks my whole life and I don't want a dial like sports car....brake pedal offset of gas pedal needs to go or be minimized, its 3 or 4 inches closer to driver than gas and makes it tough to get comfy with both.....and steering wheel needs to be adjustable separate from column....layout of info and dash panel is just too flat and vertical, but very easy to use and comfortable.....and if you buy at right time you can still get decent deal even though they are crazy expensive.....

 

2021 maybe interior update but think body will stay same

 

I love my 2019 still, just few minor tweaks be nice

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
