Bought a 19 AT4 and did want ACC. With that being said, the ACC systems should be getting much better in the next few years. The 2020 Sierra system sounds like a band-aid. Check out the super cruise and GM’s plan to comprehensively roll that out in next few years. Also, I want my next truck to have some 5G tech built in as that’s in the works as well. 

 

 But after seeing the 2020 updates, I still would pull trigger on the 2019 if given the option between the two. The price savings on a 2019 would be preferred to a 2020 just to get a camera-only ACC. A later model coupled with a proper refresh would be preferred to me.

Is the 8 speed that bad? Do you think the 2020 8 speed will be better? Trying to decide between 2019 now or 2020 later. Probably no incentives for early 2020.

You're going to get a LOT of differing opinions on this. 

 

After 2100 miles on my RST, I think it's a good transmission. The first 1000 miles seemed to have some odd or even harsh shifts, but it's really smoothed out and works great for me now.

I don't think those updates collectively would make me wish I had waited for a 2020. Because 2021 will likely be an even heavier refresh, so I'll keep my eyes on that model. 

Yes,  hopefully a new interior. With some care going into the design. Im not happy with what the interior is on the new truck. 2019 1500  2020 2500.  Keeping my 15 a couple more years. Paid off and i can't see spending money on something that is just ok ,  in my book.....   afraid of ram and only slightly impressed by ford. Not worth a new truck, still love the 15,   and Finally the only problem to date / from new was the leaking sharkfin.  FIXED.  So other than shocks that's all i needed so far..... at 51k

 

I hope gm get with the interior redo tho..... sad they went backwards IMHO

 

However. Exterior on both Sierra and Silverado are pretty good to me.... for 19 and 20

I’ve been feeling the itch to trade my ‘17 1500 Denali since my wife got a ‘19 AT4. I was frustrated there was still no ACC because we use it all the time in our Yukon, and was even contemplating a F150 Limited. I do love my GMCs though, so may ask my dealer when he can order a 20. I’m thinking black with the standard bed and as many options as they can get...

Happy I bought my 19 with NHT before the tow mirrors come with it. If the 2020 half ton tow mirrors are the same as what’s on the 2020 HDs, that’s gonna look pretty dorky. I know some guys probably really need them but personally I don’t want my truck ugly and harder to park 100% of the time, to make towing easier the 5% of time I pull a trailer.

Happy they added ACC, although I don’t know what I’m missing with it anyway. Never had it.

Eh for me there’s not much here that I would miss. I’m interested to see the new grille for the AT4. If it’s the same finish as the ‘20 HD AT4 I’m happy with my body color grille. I feel it’s a much cleaner appearance.

They very well may, the article only covers the GMC side of things.

This is indeed good news. Wonder if it will help GAS/Acceleration . 

Cant wait to strap those towing mirrors on . They look similar to the HD

      OCI, not when but why?

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
