I’m very sorry your truck got cancelled, I can see you’re taking it hard. It may be a good time for you and whoever will fit in your tiny back seat to take a trip...get some time away and clear your h

I think you guys need your own separate thread 'Crew Cab Short Bed vs Double Cab Long Bed vs Crew Cab Long Bed.'  Maybe we can get back to the (lack of) 2021 changes.

For the 2020 models:

 You can only get the "Available Bed View Camera" on SLT Sierra

https://www.gmc.com/trucks/sierra/1500/sle-elevation-slt/technology

 

However, the "Surround View" option is only available on Denali and AT4 models:

https://www.gmc.com/trucks/sierra/1500/denali/technology


Hoping the ""Surround View" option to be added to the SLT models in 2021.......

Doubtful, there was talk of them adding it for 2020 too. The tech package was even selectable on the build and price for 1500 SLT very briefly and then it got pulled. Oddly enough you can get the tech package on HD SLT.


Half ton SLT makes do with the trailer camera package that gives a 270 degree overhead view with the front blacked out.

This is a pretty nice package for them to add to the WT/ Custom models. Takes care of that horrible cluster and lack of steering wheel radio controls.

They aren't making them because they don't sell, why would it be worth more for something that sits in the dealer lots ?

 

Lol. For those that actually use their truck as a truck it's not rocket science. 

 

2019/2020 4x4 Loaded SLT, AT4 and Denali Double Cabs will have the highest resale value of any truck from the past 5 years or for the next five years. If you can't understand that people who want a nice truck and actually use it for a truck would gravitate to the truck with the larger bed, not sure what to tell you.

If you're talking specifically resale value you might be right, but people aren't buying them new like that, if they were, gm wouldn't discontinue them. They make what is in demand and dont really care about the second or later owners.

I really can’t see in what world a double cab would have higher resale value. The reason GM is killing them is market demand, which is low in those trims. Majority of these trucks are used as commuters/family haulers and its the biggest market for them so logically, crew cabs in those “loaded” trims outsell everything else by a wide margin. That aside, it’s not like your double cab edition truck can be considered “rare” when still thousands and thousands have been made and sold so far. It’s not like it’s a limited run Ferrari lol.

Double cab SLTs are not going to Barrett-Jackson in 5 years, they are going to a used car lot. Where they will be listed for less money than the equivalent crew cab, just as they are now. They cost less up front and sell for less used.


Nothing wrong with buying one if it fits the bill, but being uncommon does not mean desirable. It usually means the opposite in mass produced modern vehicles.

I'm kinda shocked about this. The #1 compliment I get on my truck is the paint/color.

No such thing as a Denali Double Cab. ?

...it would nice if they gave 2019/2020 models wireless CarPlay. I’d even pay for that upgrade. 

Same here. I'm pretty sure the hardware is present for it as well. All you need is Wi-Fi and these trucks already have that. If these trucks don't have the new infotainment screen of the Tahoe and it is just an "updated" 8 inch screen then I see no reason they can't update the old ones. Or at least maybe we would be able to install the "new" radio into our trucks. I'd rather pay for that than trade in my truck to get a new one

I stand corrected. Always thought there were.

LMAO that was pretty funny...

 

But you are wrong on the rest. They already go for similar and the older they get, the more the double cabs sell for. Look at literally every other truck apples to apples. Most people aren't going to spend 50k on a "work truck" they are going to beat around but they will gladly spend 30k on a 5 year old truck with low miles. It is what it is. Don't shoot the messenger.

If you really can't understand why a 6 1/2 foot bed would be infinitely more valuable for those who want to camp & sleep in the bed, tote dirtbikes & motorcycles, surfboards, truck campers, etc, I'm not sure what to tell you. For utility purposes a 6 1/2 foot bed gives you an infinitely better vehicle. There are so many things that fit perfectly in to the back of a 6 1/2 foot bed that don't fit into a short bed. If you need a back seat to haul around adults that's great, but it goes back to why the hell would you buy a pickup truck if you want to drive 4 adults around?

 

I know most people don't look at it this way and just bought their trucks because nowadays it is trendy to buy a truck and they never intend to use it for more than moving Spalding out of his dorm room, but for those that actually use a bed 6'6 is the perfect size for 90% of stuff that you haul. 8' bed makes your vehicle way too long and a joke to drive. Double cabs also have much better proportions than crew cabs. Double cabs were the original pickup design and when everyone realized how "cool" they were, they created the crew cab to appeal to the sheep.

I'm sure everyone will chime in that it is all opinion, but even Hellen Keller can see what the better looking vehicle is. Glad to know that I got one of the last nice ones ever made...

I believe arm rest storage is available as well.....

 

and there is no question needing 6'6'' bed (actually 6'9''now)..i dont mind dbl cabs at all, i just haul dry stuff in there anyway.....but yeah some of us have to have a standard bed and they are really tough to find in crew cabs....unless you move up to 2500.......if they kill the dbl cab they are going to have to make more std bed crew cabs

 

dont understand why you wouldnt want extra bed space anyway.....will always be a day when you wish you had it, kinda like a 4x4 truck

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
