Judging by the door lines, that's a Sierra. Unless Chevy is going to abandon that stupid swoosh front fender thing (hopefully).  In any case this will be the biggest mid-cycle "refresh" in GM truck history. It's not going to look anything like it's predecessor, which is a very good thing. Looks like a box off the HD's, and different wheel well arches. Hopefully HD style. I hate the wonky arches on the current Sierra. Going to be big discounts on the pigs on the lot pretty soon.

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.

This isn't the best pic, but if this is a 2022 "refreshed interior", it does not seem to look much different than what is in the '19-21's. ?

2.7L, 3.0L, 4.3L, 5.3L, or 6.2L. I really doubt we'll see any engine upgrades in 2022.

It would be nice if they dropped a LT4 Vette motor(755 hp) in a 1/2 ton. But that won't happen because Dodge and Ford will be above 700hp in 2021. GM usually waits to see what happens.
I'm sure the new screens will be humongous though.[emoji24]

Lol yeah I would take a 755hp V8 in place of an additional 2" on my infotainment. That's for sure. But, as you said... probably not happening. :(

How about trunnion bushings that don't fall apart in 6 months? Oh wait, GM's target market for their trucks never open the tailgate...

Lol after I read your comment, I thought about the last time I opened my tailgate. It really has been a couple/few weeks. ? ?

How about just headlights and leave the LED DRLs to the rest? 

 

This current truck seems overstyled compared to the Dodges and nobody has liked it since the 1500s were intro'd. I remember the breathless commentary touting the 'air curtains' & how the stylist who did the truck previously worked on the latest generation of the Camaro.

 

It's funny how the oversize CHEVEROLET seems to be a 180* turn from the GM800s where Chevrolet and GMC were little tags on the tailgates. Don't get me going on the missing bowtie on the grille.

we don't get paid to advertise for GM so I am very happy to remove the emblems and decals :P

HI all, just jumping in.  I'm in the market for a new truck but can't seem to pull the trigger on a half ton Silverado or GMC.  The interiors aren't much different from 17-18 models.  Neither are powertrains.  I'm after a 6.2L and the fuel economy is the same in the older models with 8 speed as they are with newer 10 speed models.  And Im in the camp where screen size matters!  And push button gear selector sucks.  My wife's GMC Terrain has it.  Totally awkward, hard to reach when you have a tall drink in the cup holder (like always)  I prefer the console shifter, not column.  It's sportier in my opinion, but in terms of functionality, the column shifter is hard to beat.  Easy to reach and out of the way/doesn't take up space on the dash

Welcome. If you don’t like the push button drive selectors, I think you better buy a 2021. The interior does have some improved features with wireless CarPlay and improved camera options. The camera options alone are leagues above the 17-18 K2 trucks. 
 

I think the 2022s WILL have push button drive selectors. It’s just the way things are going, y’all.

Funny how when Chrysler brought it out in the 60s it didn't catch on. Nowadays the auto industry seems to be overrun w/ 'monkey see monkey do'. Unless Dodge has a patent on their 2 piece tailgate, I wonder if anyone will copy it? Any reports of its durability when hauling an ATV on it?

This guy thinks 1500 gets it for 2021 model year and HD's for 2022 model year.

We should know soon!

I don’t mean to distract from the spirit of this thread but can anyone tell what tires these are in this article, on the High Country? They look kinda nice

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
