I feel lucky because I love my truck inside and out. I am just bummed that I must put a topper on it. Very bummed. However its a necessity for bird hunting with friends and dogs. Ordered it last week. I know once its on, my bed will be much more user friendly. Always had them and always will. The seats are comfortable and the steering/handling is tight and right. No reason to complain at all. Of course I built mine around the drive train and the 6.2/10 is SWEET!

I am sick of hearing RAM has the best interior.  I suppose for a mall crawler in Florida they are the best.  Try using any of the touch screen stuff while wearing gloves.  I really like the interior of my '19 coming from a '13.  Huge improvement.

why are you wearing gloves inside your truck?

Michigan winter.  When I use my  truck for working and I am in and out a lot.  I do not remove my gloves every time.

GM actually set themselves up for some future success with this new platform. The changes needed to make this interior class-leading aren't all that substantial. It's the most functional interior of any truck, IMO, so they just need to jazz it up a bit. Pretty simple.

Oh yes I'm very well aware of winter my friend. But I'm not fiddling with my touchscreen (which the chevy has too btw). My thermostat and lights are all automatic, and I can still put it in gear with my gloves on. If it's a longer ride or commute, the gloves come off and I enjoy a nice coffee, heated seats and heated steering wheel. 

 

If you're working and getting in and out, what are you fidgeting with?

While their at it, make the 10 speed tranny standard on the 5.3 and up the screen size to 12” like RAM and future Ford’s, at least make it optional. Don’t forget adaptive cruise control. Also, put back all the decontented items that were on the K2’s.

I’m sorry, I did get rid of my ram for issues but those that don’t think the RAM interior on the 19 is incredible are insane.  That is the nicest interior in a truck ever.  The console is just great.  It has tons of useful space.  Has incredible phone holder in the front near the charging ports and has wireless charging.  The seats are comfortable.  The rear seats recline and have heated and cooled.  They did an incredible job.  Has usb c and a charging ports.  4 in front combined and 4 in rear combined as well it has a great single usb in the center console under the lid section.
 

I do hope gm brings a new interior because that is the only thing I see that needs to be addressed.  Ram forced ford into a refresh sooner than they wanted.  Gm is losing ground quickly in trucks.  Nothing makes them more money than trucks so you better believe they are on notice.

Tilt steering in the new trucks is my pet peeve. As others have said for $70,000 you would expect power tilt with memory. I have no issues though with the rest of the interior.

I am glad that the 2020's get the full range of engines in the Chevys.

How long til Chevy can get the GMC tailgate. That will be a add on in the future. Or maybe a black market item. I am sure it won't be long until someone on here swaps a GMC tailgate onto his Chevy. Keep your eyes on the Auto Wrecker websites for tailgates.

I have zero issues with my '19 interior. The seats, although more firm than my '15, are quite comfy and the heated and ventilation is much improved as well. 

You almost feel it immediately as opposed to the old generation. I know hands down the Ram may be flashier but it doesn't bother me. Deal sealer was when I had a loaner 2018 LT while my truck was in the shop. The whole time I was driving it, I missed the interior and features of my '19. This is just my honest opinion and in no way criticizing any of the other generations or models.

Why did GM get rid of AC seats in 2016 and up? Now only ventilated. Because AC seats Dumped heat on rear passengers? Cost cutting?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
