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.

      2021 Silverado 2.7L – N232395310 – Can someone with GM dealer access check my VIN?

      By HeronLeal · Posted

      Just want to make sure it is covered by Special Coverage N232395310 Evaporative Emission Purge Pump 2021 Silverado 1500 Custom 2.7L L3B ~100k miles I'm getting DTCs P146B and P146F. VIN 3GCPWBEK2MGxxxxxx   I spoke to a person that works at GM and he said it is not covered after checking my VIN.   Is there anyone here who currently works for a GM/Chevrolet dealership and has access to GM Global Warranty Management / Investigate Vehicle History who could explain how the VIN eligibility is determined?   thank you

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.

      I had a similar but different response when I talked to the service manager where I bought my truck in that he said GM corporate won't allow them to lower the placard pressure setting as they would get their hand slapped but that of course they have the ability to make that change. His suggestion was simply go to a tire dealer or third party shop that is willing to reset the pressures lower. However I chose to buy a tpms tool and partly based off of this very forum as it had been proven to work on the 2024 model ( Global B system ) and while I could have paid lots for a full two way diag tool, I didn't want to spend that much and bought the recommended Autel TS 508 and it will reprogram the 2025 model and assume it should do the 2026 as well. However the tool is rather proprietary to reprogramming Autel tpms sensors so that is a function I will never use, where as a real two way scanner would have many uses but also have yearly subscriptions etc where this 508 is free updates for as long as they put updates out for the unit. In any event it worked to lower the placard pressures and I often use it to adjust my actual tire pressures although will check with a mechanical gauge as well sometimes just to make sure that tires tpms sensor isn't lying to me.    My suggestion is either buy a tool that you know will work to adjust the system or start out by getting the tire shop you bought your tires from to reset your truck and if after that you still want a unit to do it yourself, get one at that point.
