The only reason I would trade in my 19 for the refresh is if they improve the seats. The other stuff is nice, but I don't mind the current interior with the exception being how uncomfortable the seats are.

I don’t care for fixed consoles in pickups. Just my preference. Having said that, i do like the air vents being closer.

I don’t mind the seats in the truck, but realize everyone is different.

i really don’t like the idea of a push button transmission. A truck needs a column shifter. It really doesn’t look that

much different besides the screen. Dash gauges look the same??‍♂️

I was a little surprised when GM didn’t release the ‘19s with a 10”+ infotainment screen on the Denali/HC models to try and compete with Ram. The big chunky aluminum trim kind causes some awkward proportions and makes the 8" unit look like it's out of place. I always figured it was added as a last minute fix since the larger touchscreen wouldn’t be ready in time for launch, but even with the Tahoe/Yukon it's not like they're putting in a 15" screen.
 

I’ll be disappointed if they put a “tablet” style display in there instead. It’s a design trend that other manufacturers have been moving away from, and it looks like its mounted to high in the dash to comfortably reach. It works OK with some of the German and Japanese brands where the primary means of input is a knob on the console, not just touch inputs but not so great in a full size truck with touch-only inputs.

The article just says the center console from the Tahoe, not the whole interior. If that’s it...big whoop. Sound more like a stopgap rather than a mid-cycle refresh.

Interior for sure needs a bit of updgrading. Good to hear GM is listening to majority of people/magazine/internet writers and upgrading the looks. Current interior is very bland. love the soft materials in my 19 Denali but overall look and layout is terrible. To each his own though , I know some peeps love theirs. So no offense to anyone.

so the wt and custom in 2500HD finally get storage on armrest.....idk about 1500s but that was huge gripe and rightfully so.....guess they got the point!

 

not really a fan of SUV  screen....while I do think the trucks need a change idk the screen just looks like an after thought....it just kinda sits out there all by itself.....integrate it into dash like ford or dodge would be better and cleaner.....

 

and yes I am huge fan of column shifter.....don't want a knob to turn, though I think chevy could have done a better job with design of column shifter.....rather have it than not

Got my 2020 Silverado RST 2-months ago.......love it. 

GM can change the design on the newer Silverados all they want, I'm good for 10+ years.  ?

I'm glad you said to each his own. I went from a 01 LB7 Dually to my new 2020 L5P Dually so you know how well I like mine.

Column shifter is a must have for truck IMO. I'm still having a hard time adjusting to push button start, but I came from an 07 F150, so even the interior on my 19 feels space aged to me :D

I don't care for the big infotainment screens that they are adding to all these new vehicles, they look out of place. Why do I need an Ipad while I'm driving down the road??? The one in my 19' Sierra is just fine. I still like column shift, but I could get used to using a push button also, that is not a big deal to me. I love push to start on all the vehicles I have owned that have that feature. I personally do not have any issue with the interior in the new trucks, I think they are just fine. Do not need all the little gimmicky gadgets. Everybody compares to a RAM, but I don't like the RAM interiors, too much going on, it is overload. I buy a vehicle to drive and be comfortable in while driving, and for reliability and ease of working on. The GM trucks fit that bill for me. Everybody has their opinions on this, and it could be an age thing too. I am 50 and don't need or want all these things I will never use or need. I just want a good looking, nice driving, reliable truck, and I feel I have that with GM products.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
