SLT vs SLE Options

I am looking at ordering a new 2020. I keep debating between an SLE and SLT.

 

Other than the obvious of being able to get air cooled seats, Bosie, and wireless charging options that aren't available on a sle. Is there anything an SLT comes with standard the SLE can't get as an option? Or is there anything i need to watch out for?

 

Such as does the slt automatically have better brighter lights? Can a SLE be optioned with power folding and sliding mirrors?

 

It looks like the big things like a bed view camera for 5th wheel, headed seats and steering wheel, bucket seats, and navigation are all things i can get on an sle. Really the only thing on the slt i would want is air cooled seats but that isn't as needed with cloth.

 

For the "invisible" trailer deal, or rear trailer camera is that included in the "pro grade trailering" package which includes the trailer app.

 

Why are the 20" wheels a $1400 option for an slt but a $1700 option on sle???? i don't want 20's anyway but found that a bit odd.

 

Also is there anyway to order one with out the roof marker lights? i really don't like them. I see in some packages they are "smoked" but does that mean all HD's have roof lights???

SLE can not get power extending mirrors, just power folding.

SLE can not get the upgraded Driver Alert package II with automatic braking and forward collision warning.

SLT comes with the higher-intensity headlamps.  The IntelliBeam automatic high beams are available on the SLT as part of Driver Alert II, but not SLE. 

The option prices on the wheels differ based on what is standard on that trim.  SLT comes standard with an upgraded wheel over SLE, so the options will cost less for the T.

Roof clearance lights are standard on all DRWs and Denalis.  They are optional ($55) on SRW SLE/SLT

Thank you for the help!

 

can you get the high intensity headlamps on a SLE?

 

I'm looking at a 3500 crew cab long box, so I don't want the roof clearance lights. However it seems like they are automatically included in some packages. Is there anyway to get them removed so they aren't included, even if you get that package?

You can't get the 360 deg camera with sle so no transparent trailer.  You can get the 270 deg system with trailer cams but it is lower tech.

The high intensity headlamps are only SLT and up.

If the roof clearance lights are standard or part of a package, they can not be deleted from the factory configuration.

leather is an option on a SLE.

 

what option do you need on an slt to get the 360, is that called the surround view? Honestly i've seen it and i'm not that impressed so wasn't planning on getting it anyway.

 

However, I would like the ability to connect a camera from the trailer into the pickup so I can see behind the trailer. What is needed for this to happen?

You can get trailer cams with the 270 deg camera.  The option code is UVI.  I'm not sure of the official package name.  270 deg has bed and tailgate cams.  No cams in mirrors or front grill.

The 120V box outlet is available on all trim levels.  With the base, it's in the Convenience Package (PCI).  With SLE, it's in the Preferred Package (PDQ).  It's standard on SLT, AT4, and Denali.

      2026/2027 Suburban — confirming AS3 bench delete with standard MagRide/Adaptive

      By newdude · Posted

      Here's the 2026 order guide - Vehicle Order Guide   RPO code "AS3"?  Not seeing it.  What is it supposed to be?  I see AS3 used a long time ago as some sort of seat option, but its not applicable to the current Suburban.    I see RPO code "AZ3" which is 1st row 40/20/40 split bench.  That is only on LS trim, which LS can't option any of the trick suspension.     2nd row bench power fold RPO code is "ATT".  So your dealer should be able to sort their locator to find matching builds by searching the combo of ATT and Z95 combined to find a 2nd row power fold with MagRide.     You can do the 2nd row power bench AND have MagRide, or Mag with Air on Z71, RST and High Country.     Here's a Z71 with 2nd row power bench and the Z71 Off Road Package which adds the Adaptive Air and MagRide - 2026 Suburban | Details | Vehicle Locator   Here's an RST with 2nd row power bench and the RST Capability Package, and RST Capability adds the Adaptive Air with Magride - 2026 Suburban | Details | Vehicle Locator   I can't find a High Country, but you can do it on there.  Requires the 6.2, and the Sun and Tow pack which allows you to then option the 2nd row power fold.  Black interior only.  High Country comes standard with MagRide and you can order the air if you get the High Country Deluxe, but Deluxe will take you to captain 2nd row.       You can do it at GMC on the AT4 and the regular Denali (not Ultimate) as well.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By newdude · Posted

      So.  Get this.  On the Chevy regular cab, you can get the factory remote start at the dealer from the accessories catalog.  BUT.  GMC, you can't.   Now...get this...GMC 2 door, you CAN get the power seat.     Go.  Figure.   Anywho.  are you trying to order?  Or locate?  Ordering for 2 door 1/2 tons has been stopped as of April or May?  So you won't be able to order.  You'll have to shop on the ground units or in transit units.     Ordering was stopped because the new trucks are coming.

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.  I really appreciate the well wishes.  I'm an engineer in the telecom industry, I know hardly anything about marketing.  Over the years I did some videos for nonprofits and web sites for small businesses and the seed was planted.  Agree with over-buying, I started shooting on an iPhone before I got my first DSLR and tripod.   I'm looking at trucks with potentially 150,000+ miles to keep the cost of entry low while focusing on the client experience and equipment.  Good wireless mics for interviews, the right lenses & lighting to look professional.  But I don't want to be late or break down, the stress of emptying a trailer & securing a rental truck right before a gig would negate any savings from buying a junker.  So anything that leaks water, has extensive rust, or generally unreliable I'd like to avoid.   Does GM/Chevy overbuild these trucks for upfitting?  I talked to a local upfitter, they sometimes tie lights & other 12V into existing circuits, which I always thought was bad.  Which is why I enjoyed the AUX upfit switches on previous trucks (odd they mostly come with off-road or work truck packages).

      GM's are stainless and have a fairly robust powder coating, although, still not worth $850 in my opinion. They will hold up a lot better than their cheaper steel aftermarket counterparts.   What I like about the GM step bars is dealers will often equip their dealer stock with them. Lots of margin. Which means a lot of people end up buying them because they're already on the truck, even if they don't like them. So it's pretty easy to find brand new takeoffs with hardware on Marketplace and Craigslist for about $250.   That's what I did for my crew cab. I wanted ZR2 rock rails for the look, but with the ability to bolt up GM's assist step package. From GM it's about a $2500 accessory all in. The old folks in my life can't get in the truck without steps. I found the whole package on marketplace for $180.
