It's a big long but very informative and interesting to watch.

Great information. The air ride suspension is exactly what I need for towing. Big reason I'm switching from Ford to GM.

I am indeed interested as well.  The larger, modern, info system is what I was waiting on.  Hopefully the Dealers order in NON-Black interiors and max tow packages, so I don't have to custom order.

What is the deal with the all black interiors? Haven't any of these people ever lived in an area where it gets hot in the summer? Black leather is the worst.

Amen.  I really think that Dealers are given incentives to order and force customers in certain directions to limit stocking various colors and inventory.  Black sitting in 95 degrees is hot.  At least they have remote start now days

It's not the dealers, it's GM.   Apparently the only interior color on a 2500 Silverado is  black unless you get a High Country. That didn't make the guy who lives in the desert very happy.

Second this. I think across all brands, probably 90% of interiors on lots are black, probably 98% for GM. I don't get the fixation. The lighter colors work better in a large cabin and make it feel more open and airy. Plus, it's not that just the seats and leather trim is black, it's that they go full coal-bin and make everything monochromatic black. 

 

My 2018 Suburban has the tan interior, which has almost zero black plastic in it, and it honestly looks and feels like something from a Mercedes-Benz. Amazing how far a simple cosmetic change can go.

Great to hear.  The reveal in video shows the tan as well.  Personally, I think it hides the dirt better than black as well.

Actually, it might be something I'm concerned with.  I pull a 6k travel trailer, and I like how my WDH puts more down force on the front end, not just simply adding air to the rear end.  GM says to let auto level do it's thing, then add WD bars.  I would love some real world feedback on how well this works.  I posted in the 2015-2020 Forum and no great input.

That is why leather sucks in general, not sure about the fixation on it as cloth is almost all around a better material. Any leather gets hot, doesn't matter if it is black or tan, our tan leather gets very hot to the touch (and cold) here in Texas. Honestly I would rather have a black interior it shows so much less wear and dirt over time. For those that actually work and get dirty, black hides all that. My brother does pools, the tan interior on his previous vehicle to his current black is night and day difference in appearance after being used. 

 

I do like color variations though. My green silverado would have looked good with a brown cloth interior but the seats were a light tan and they wouldn't have looked good in a few years. Bring back dark blue and maroon to the table or even a charcoal grey.

Just because you can't see the dirt, doesn't mean it's not there. 

 

Also, probably not many people are using Tahoes/Suburbans as pool repair vehicles.

Before I had kids, I spent weeks tracking down a Sierra SLE2 with bucket seats and cloth. I really wanted the cloth seats for exactly that reason.

 

after I had kids, I realized the one huge advantage to leather is how easy it is to clean.

I dislike the black interiors, we always order vehicles with the lighter colors, makes the inside much brighter.

The look of an all black interior is what drives people. I personally love it. But i live in the Northeast.... As with all new drops I feel theyll open it all up over the next 6-8 months of production.
