Weren't the 2014-2015 Silverado headlights really lousy? 

Nope, that was the Sierra.

Same for me. 38 gallon with Toyota, 33 gallon with Ram, 36 gallon with Ford, and 24 gallons with Chevy 1500. Doubt they will provide a larger gas tank and with federal regs you cannot buy a larger aftermarket replacement tank anymore.
 
I also prefer the headlights on the new F-150 that look like they can actually illuminate the road. My 2011 Silverado 2500HD has great headlights that are perfect for dark country roads. The current Silverado 1500 truck lighting is so poor as to constitute a safety hazard.
 
At this point in time the 2021 Ram 1500 looks like the best truck overall, especially if one wants a good offroad setup that won't break the bank (unlike with Ford for example).
What federal regs? Titan still makes big tanks

No it was the Silverado, my 14 silverado headlights sucked. Dad's 15 sierras headlight were good. My 17 Silverado and 18 Sierra's headlights are great though.

Specifically, GM was sued over the 2014-2015 GMC headlights. The Silverados weren’t much better but were not a part of the suit.

Yup. I didn't think the halogen projectors on my 14 LTZ were that bad. They obviously weren't as good as the LEDs on my 2016 LTZ or my 19 SLT, but they seemed adequate at the time.

Titan does not make tanks that replace the factory tank for gas engines. They make replacement tanks for diesel engine powered vehicles. One can get a gravity feed tank that takes up space in the bed of the truck but that is not workable for me as I want the entire bed available and I want to use a cap on the truck.

 

I checked as I wanted a larger tank for a Silverado 1500 truck and so I phoned and spoke to them directly.

The interior is where most of the refresh will be done.  The outside will get mild updates as typical in a mid-cycle refresh.  GM is taking a pounding on the interior and it is deserved.  Ram and Ford interiors are much nicer, even though the Chevy interior is functional.

The anticipation is that the interiors of the trucks will be similar to the 2021 full size SUV's.

I've sat in the new 2021 Yukon, and I have to say it's very nice.  If GM goes that route, I think a lot of people will be satisfied with the interior.

No, they took out the buttons for the rear doors completely, that's why I am glad I have a 2019. I am always using that button to get my bags of groceries in the back seat. My friend's 2020 High Country doesn't even have it, only in the front doors. My lowly RST has it on all four doors. Even if the 2022 had an upgraded dash, I probably wouldn't go for it. Gotta have that button on the rear doors! All day long, I'm making errands and putting stuff there.

My 2020 SLT has rear door buttons.

Yup. One of the reasons the Sierra has real advantage for me over the Silverado even though I personally prefer the look of the Chevy but I can really see myself using the buttons on the back door with kids etc.

100% with you. The interior needs the major over haul. Another question for me is will the engine line ups finally get some HP/TQ bumps after 8 model years

I would rather see the money spent on drive line improvements than the interior.

My WAG for the interior is that they will largely leave the center stack alone. They’ll stretch the screen out to the sides from its current place to make it the same size as the SUVs. This will mean very little re-development of interior materials. Mainly just some adjustments on the top of the center stack for the vents currently on both sides of the screen. 
 

The other thing they’ll improve is the dash display, which - to me - is worse than the center stack. It’s so incredibly boring, especially if you do not have the 8” DIC screen option. They need more digital and less analog, IMO. Or to push the analog to the sides and create a bigger, more appealing center DIC - like RAM and Ford have.

I’m curious though, if Sierras are the price they are currently compared to the Ram, with their big screen, what will the MSRP jump be if/when GMC adds a bigger technology/entertainment package?

    • Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.
    • Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.
    • Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.
    • Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
