I haven’t looked into tow mirrors yet. I’m likely going to look into whatever comes out for the 2500s although I have heard they are not going to be plug and play with the 1500s. But I’m assuming someone will make a harness that will do the trick it will just be a matter of when. 

Yeah, Im at a loss.  Towing our travel trailer over 200 miles next week and am not looking forward to not being able to see all the way down the TT.

That is my biggest gripe about the truck to date, no decent tow mirror options at all. Clip on slide on or otherwise. I’ve towed my tt about 1000 miles already with the shitty camco strap ons... very hard to see, lots of vibration

Yeah hopefully soon, I doubt mind bucking up for something that looks nice. The only time I have problems is backing into campsites and parking beside the house.

The new 2019's don't have a trailering mirror on the 1/2ton trucks even with the NHT Trailering package? That seems very odd. 

 

You will probably have to wait for the HD's to be sold if that is the case, if you don't want goofy clip-ons. Just looking at the doors of the new HD, looks like the mirror mount will be similar to the 1/2 ton. Us K2 guys could mount the HD or NHT mirrors on our trucks by drilling one additional hole in the door for a 3rd mounting bolt the HD/NHT mirrors had, we had to get fancy with some pinning of the BCM if you had an LT trim and wanted your mirrors to have the puddle light, power fold, marker/signal, auto-dim, heat and power mirror. PGamboa is a member on here who is a wiring wizard and will probably design and sell harnesses when the 2020 mirrors are available for you guys. Keep his name in your mind.

Looks like the max trailer package still has little mirrors. 

Trailering mirrors are an option on the 2020s.

Question for you... what are you doing for tow mirrors?  I am having trouble finding attachable tow mirrors like i used to have for my 11 Silverado.  
Still waiting for some options. The regular mirrors are doing ok for now.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   4LO (Four-Wheel Drive Low) should only be used in extreme low-speed, high-torque situations such as deep mud, heavy snow, steep rock crawling, or extreme inclines/declines, and you must follow the correct engagement procedure to avoid drivetrain damage. Intended Use Cases Deep mud or snow where traction is extremely poor and you need maximum torque to get unstuck Trucks Only+1. Rock crawling on steep, uneven terrain forum.fullsizechevy.com+1. Extreme inclines or declines where you need to control speed and maintain traction solutionsphere.blog. Heavy towing in low-traction conditions (e.g., deep sand, ice) carclubsusa.com.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      Hi,   I work a steep boat landing that has patchy blacktop going down the hill and soft sand/gravel at the bottom. Due to low water levels, it's not always possible reach the blacktop. I've had to help several people get out this year already and with fall coming, I'm anticipating more. I always use 4L. There was a gentleman there today with a 2500 HD (actually 2 - him and his son both have them) and they were trying to get his son's wake boat out. This gentleman swears that you should use 4H in the soft gravel. Says he was a farmer and you always use higher gear when stuck. I was wonder what your thoughts on this are? If I'm wrong, it would be good to find out before things get busy.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Looking for feedback from users of roll up aluminum slat bed covers who have had it for more than 3 years. I prefer the aluminum slat style over supported vinyl covers due to security and the capacity to support a light load. The slight loss of bed opening when rolled up is not an issue. Presently have BAK Revolver the "industrial grade vinyl overlay" on mine is shrinking & coming loose at the rear and on both sides in addition to cracking at some of the folding joints. Truck lives outdoors in NC latitude. Can't justify the steep price to replace it with another one if that's the expected lifespan. Do you have a better alternative?

      BAK Revolver bed cover

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Thanks, your last sentence is the root of my problem, outdoors truck and southern latitude = UV overload. Looking at replacing with Rough Country powder coated aluminum slat roll up model.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      I’m looking at putting a lift in my 2024 gmc sierra 1500 elevation trim, has anyone had any luck with fitting a bigger tire under the rear for a spare?? Was gonna go with a 4 inch zone lift Also what wheel and tire size setup are you all running? Wondering if I can get away with keeping around the stock size a 33 inch, and just get some new wheels to have enough back spacing then I can just keep my original spare tire I have under the truck now.
