2021 Feature Changes -- Attempt Number 2

[redwngr]

Since we got taken over by some that couldn't read the title and decided it was a good place to debate cab type and box length, I thought we should try again! 

(and since the mods didn't help us out)

sucks the first got sidetracked.....i was small part of it.....it is truck though afterall and bed is big part of getting one but everyone is entitled to their choice or needs.....if they take away a std bed completely i will have a kiniption fit though, lol

 

but i have to hand it to you bro you have this ****** down!....anytime a question pops up about pkgs and your all over it, mnfctr codes, etc and what you can and cannot order......

 

seems like its pretty small changes though.....some are definetly better....after upgrading from a 2019 to a 2020 with more stuff i think my next one will just be really basic....just find it hard to justify the value of options no matter how they divvy it up......base model 4x4 will be last truck for this old man.....more stuff to go wrong, not work, have issues with

 

have to say my 2020 2500 has worked bit better than 2019 RST overall.....so far and sounds like spaceship when i get into or out of it with all noises the computer and sensors make.....

 

you do help out quite a few peeps and even myself couple of times and thats what we are here for so thumbs up!

This Denali Premium Package that is being deleted. Is this the same as the Ultimate package?

[2020SierraDenali]

Strangely, there isn't a current option package for 2020 called "Premium Package" (RPO PDP) that I can tell if you tried to order one. I doubt you can anymore, but still. I seem to remember there being a premium package at one point, but can't recall what was in it. It's not available now anyway, so I guess it doesn't really matter. If they do a la carte by getting rid of the Ultimate option (RPO PEC), you'd see a whole lot less "kitchen sink" Denalis. So I doubt you'd see the Ultimate option going away.

 

Only ONE option I wish I could remove from the Ultimate Package and that would be the sunroof. I hate those things on a truck, and I'm not a fan at all of cutting holes in the roof as it is. A leak point. If I were leasing, I'd probably not worry too much about it. I understand it's part of the kitchen sink, but if I had my way, I'd pick that one off. But I guess I'll deal with it.

[Cpl_Punishment]

Interesting choice to scrap the bench seat with no storage. Was that due to backlash or they realised it's a waste of money to have two different seats or are they hoping everyone who bought a 2019/2020 Custom gets into a 2021?

[Dunn]

yeah i read awhile back all trucks have storage now.....they got a ton of flack for that and rightfully so

[econometrics]

Pretty sure I know the answer to this... but the CarPlay wireless transmission is a hardware change and not just software, right? I noticed it says it works with IOS / IOT radios, so I got my hopes up for a software update to get the wireless CarPlay.

Does anyone know when the 2021s are going to start to hit dealers? Typically in years past it’s been in August but my guess that’ll be delayed this year. 

[chizzoy]

So any idea if Duramax will be an option for the Trail Boss trim?

[kpanza]

Supposed to go to stealership tomorrow morning to get the order in for my Buyback replacement truck.  Any confirmation on whether the 2021 SLT can be ordered with Max Tow AND the Trailer Mirrors AND Tech Package again?

I think GM is looking to add more cooling on the BabyMax to increase the towing so just maybe on the TB ?

Has to be hardware- Lots of options though to turn current CarPlay stereos wireless. I sure hope they make it an upgradable feature for 19/20’s

What are the options please?  I have a 2020 Silverado RST and I modded the center console for wireless charging but that's wasted because I still have to connect a cord for android auto.  I'd LOVE the wireless android option.  So please point me in the right direction?
