Anyone notice the new style of Chevy & GMC's are missing that overhead flip-down holder for sunglasses?

Yup. If I could change one thing that would probably be it. I miss having the sunglass overhead storage. 
 

I also wish there were overhead grab handles above each door. My hand naturally goes up there and I can’t get used to not having them

Yeah, they moved it to the front center dash, go figure.... Sunglasses heat up real bad there too. 

No kidding. It's a terrible spot, but pretty much the only place to put them.

I think the sunglass storage was the first thing I noticed missing when I got my truck.

 

Mine has the grab handle.

Yeah people bitched because no glasses fit in them, although mine did.  So GM removed it.  People bitched about no drivers side handle, and that the steering wheel was not centered.  So GM centered the steering wheel, and added a grab bar to the drivers side.  Now there's bitching about the grab bar being to close the steering wheel, and people hit their hands  and/or cigarettes on them. In this day in age, you can't make anyone happy.  I bought a $3 clip for my glasses that goes on the visor, problem solved.

I do miss the holder. Like someone said, the center dash gets very warm and I’ve “lost” a pair of glasses in the larger storage area up there, because I couldn’t see them haha.

Man,I hate not having that there..It’s honestly the only thing I miss about my 2017 Denali...There was a thread on here a guy retro fit tied one from a Nissan Titan I believe....It came out awesome and looked factory..I’ll try and find a link to the thread

In all the Chevys & GMC trucks I’ve driven in my life, I never noticed that the steering wheel wasn’t centered until I started reading about the next gen models (2019+). I had gotten so used driving with the wheel where it was that when I got my new truck I noticed a was always driving on or really close to the left line lol.

 

I like the handle, just miss the sunglasses holder. Oh well, definitely not a deal breaker even though everyone I tell it doesn’t have one, their instant reaction is “Seriously?!?” Lol

It's also missing turn signals on the mirrors and power adjustable pedals... I hope that GM will bring those features back for 2022.

My only guess as to why they got rid of the turn signals on the mirrors is because of the blind spot indicators. Every time you turned on your blinker you'd be getting the same light flash from your mirror that you new get from the blind spot indicator. That's just my guess.

 

Losing the adjustable peddles didn't bother me; it always felt goofy with the pedals extended. It felt like the heel of your foot wasn't on the floor like normally is, so whenever I drove one with adjustable pedals I always kept them retracted the whole way, like normal, and just slid the seat forward.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
