Convenience Package on the LT TB would give you the fold down armrest in back. Convenience Package w/ Buckets would give you the cup holders on the back of the console too.

 

Or you can buy a Custom and complain about the lack of storage instead, always a popular choice here.


yeah, it kills me when so many people complain about their Custom or Custom Trail Boss in here. It’s like they don’t do research before they buy a vehicle. I get, you want a cooler looking vehicle but at what point does it matter what your vehicle looks like if it doesn’t function for you. OP should have bought a RST or LT.

That is how I ended up with an AT4 - on Trail Boss, I could not get cooled seats, 6.2L engine, rear cupholders, amongst other things so I moved on to AT4 where I got all the things I wanted.  I understand at a cost as it was a more expensive truck.

LT TB is considerable more than CTB

I know, that’s why I said LT or RST.
 

Sounds like for your budget you’re gonna need to compromise somewhere. Either on the orange, or on the lifted truck, or on the interior. Since you’re bothered by the lack of cup holders in the back of the Custom, I feel like there’s going to be a ton more stuff up front you’re really not going to be happy with.

 

It has played out over and over and over here in the last year and a half. People driving themselves crazy to add a console lid that actually opens(!), or steering wheel radio controls (can’t be done), or a cluster screen that can be controlled by something other than a little knob sticking out of the cluster itself. Buy what you want though, just giving you a different side of things that costs no more money at all...

And this is exactly why when I get a new truck it will be an AT4 over a LT Trail Boss as well. Even though I like the way the TB looks better.

I’m in the research phase I’m waiting to see what new rebates are before I get one

They both have the ventilated seats available. 

Currently, optional on LTZ, Std on HC, optional on SLT, std on AT4 and Denali

Oh, well that’s good then. Chevy has cooled seats but on their LTZ and High Country. I like the monochromatic look so Trail Boss and RST would be the Chevy’s I would want but I won’t buy one without cooled seats. I have swass issues. ?

Best incentives are always on the LT & RST. ?

Yes, it’s GMC’s version of the Trail Boss. 

In terms of the factory 2" lift, sure, but in terms of features, I would guess the AT4 will be between the LTZ and the HC while the CTB will be between the Sierra base and SLE and the LT TB will be between the Elevation and SLT.

vinyl wrap the friggen grill or spend thousands upgrading interior....orange is an odd choice for any make or brand.

 

the custom TB is bad choice for the money(almost bought one)….its just common sense...

    • Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.
    • The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts. 
    • I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.     
    • Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.  
    • The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
