not sure of the brand of mine but I ordered it from Americantrucks.com, I bought it over the others because I wanted one side that didn't lock.

Let's just say, these aren't as "safe" as you think they are...IMG_0109.thumb.jpeg.74b54fbe30d09e056d9b95c5293a9233.jpeg

None of them are going to keep out a determined criminal. But most will keep smash and grab punks, crackheads, etc out long enough to be a deterrent

That was PRECISELY my line of thinking, before this happened in a busy Academy Sporting Goods parking lot in the span of about 90 seconds...using this screwdriver.

 

Don't get me wrong, when I got my 2020 Trail Boss I got another safe, but I definitely got one that has the lid gap covered with steel.

Which one did you get? I just ordered a console vault last week this makes me rethink it. I would like one that has the gap covered as well.

as you can see in the pictures on mine there is no gap, there is about 1/2" of steel that overlaps the side with the lock. I am certainly not saying someone couldn't get into it...but I dont see you doing it with a screwdriver and not in that quick of a time.

I’m taking my safe out. It came with it when I bought the truck. I prefer the storage space without having to get all my crap off the lid.

I certainly hope no one is robbed while their firearm is all cozy safe and secure. Probably should of just left it at home, at least that way the perp can't beat you to death with it.

Numerous studies have shown that if a perp is under 21' away you'll be going hands on anyway. Better to be in top physical condition and learn how to defend oneself verus relying strictly on a tool .

By that same rationale I suggest being in top shape to defend yourself with your tool. If you’re carrying and don’t train for it then what are you even doing? Setting yourself up for failure. Self defense doesn’t end with stuffing a gun in your waistband. Learn to be proficient with it.

I want a safe to keep my firearm in, because I don't carry mine everywhere. I don't think  most of my clients would appreciate me coming  in packing. I could conceal once my license comes in, but if it prints at all and I get called out I could lose a client. Of course, here in SW Louisiana everyone is armed, so it might not matter. However, I deal a lot with the diocese, other churches, and local government.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      I'm also waiting to see if they confirm Apple CarPlay, because I'm not interested in subscription fees just to use the hardware I already purchased.    In closeups it looks like it gets the Colorado/Canyon center screen based headlight controls which I despise. They also appear to lose all the hard switches for functions like seat heating and cooling, parking sensors, lane control, traction control, etc. which means they're all screen/menu based, so verdict is out on how well those will work with gloves or wet/dirty hands.  Admittedly they don't show the left knee area of the dash, but I don't see hard switches for locker control on the ZR2, and the "mode" switch appears to eliminate the rotary dial with a quick way to access tow/haul.  My 2021 has had multiple screen failures and at times the screen just locks up, goes black, or reboots while driving even after replacement, so loosing the ability to access many of these functions, especially lighting control would be pretty frustrating.   There aren't enough photos or detailed trim details other than one mention of "available microfiber trim" to confirm, but the use of microfiber on the seats and or center console is a deal killer for me.  Just because you drive a ZR2 or High Country, doesn't mean you don't work out of it, and that material is difficult at best to keep clean and looking decent.   Lexus and several other brands are using it on seats, dash, and door panels now, I assume as a cost and weight saving measure,  and it looks horrible 1-2 years into ownership.  I see what appears to be piano black on the doors and center console in some photos, which also has no place in ANY vehicle in my opinion because it mars and scratches too easily, especially for a truck.  Will be interesting to see what GMC comes out with when the Sierra is released as far as materials go.

      Im a fan.  Simply moving the screen up helps the look of the interior.  I feel like GM dropped the ball on the current gen having the screen not at the same level as the top of the gauge cluster.  The GMCs look better with the vents above the screen to close that gap.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I hear you, its just not something one would even think of that the new oil in the container isn't filtered to a spec one would expect it to be.    As to a passenger vehicle theme and the maintenance requirement to meet to ensure a warranty is honored, these days with claims of life time transmission fluid on some models and the limited amount of oil changes that would bring one to the end of the factory warranty, that sells vehicles for those that like to hear "easy care maintenance free", but the manufacturer certainly knows different as to what that more than likely means for the longevity of some of the components if given that minimum spec maintenance. Then again I imagine there are a fair number of people that really don't care as long the vehicle gets them a certain number of years down the road because they are the type that want the next new thing, new and improved ... more bells and crap etc on the new one on the show room floor. Manufacturers have learned the phycological game to entice the customer out of their money !

      Why soooooo many screens? Shall we just replace the windshield with a large plasma?!?!? Besides that I like the looks. And they added back the additional door cubbies,    No SS???
