Lack of aftermarket parts for these new GM's

I've emailed lots of big company's from lighting to performance (Recon, spyder lighting, HP tuners ect.) and it seems like nobody has any drive to make accessories for these 2019/2020 GM's.  I can't believe nobody is working on a set of tail lights for these yet considering they've been on the road for a while.  Hopefully things eventually pick up.  Some wheel designs to fit these massive calipers would be nice as well! I guess we're all stuck playing the waiting game.

I think as legacy model weans out and isn't offered anymore well see more........but your right shocked there is very little out there currently

There are going to be a lot of GM trucks at SEMA.  Keep a close eye on the coverage over the next couple days.

A bean counter somewhere has the magic number that when a manufacturer says x units are sold that it is time to ramp up production on aftermarket parts.  Until them, lack of demand doesn't make it profitable.

GM Sold unit numbers are actually really good right now. I’m actually happy they don’t have more parts out, I’m broke but wanna keep spending money ?

Another point to consider is with the can bus on these new vehicles it can be a real challenge to replace factory parts such as replacing the backup lamps causing problems with the rear camera as has been reported here if I remember correctly.  Also on the Ram Forum someone decided to add under dash floor lighting to his Ram.  After installation it would not start.  Removed the lights and the RAM started just fine.  I added a dash cam to my 17 Denali and the TPMS would completely loose one, or two and sometimes three of the tire pressure monitors on the driver info center.  Unplug the camera and everyone was back.  The dash cam was plugged into the usb port on the dash.  Go Figure.

It seems like the aftermarket scene is slowly dying out...

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
