So, anyone happen to know if the wiring harness is present in the door for this option?

 

I've not taken the door apart yet but thought I'd ask to see if anyone knew.

I added painted handles yesterday to my 2020 LTZ that has keyless buttons on the front only.  The wiring harness is not present in the rear doors, was hoping it would be.  I added rear handles with buttons anyways though, I prefer the look of all 4.

Little things like that save them money to put it on something else in the truck or help keep price down. I also like the handle buttons on the rear doors and use them often, but to say something like

Not so much a First World Problem as it is a Second Year Problem. Few of us would even care to lift a finger to complain about the (shortsighted? Misguided? Stupid?) decision to remove the rear button

If that were the case, they'd stop installing sliding rear windows and only provide solid glass ?

NICE!!!!  Looks so much better. 

 

Did you have to take the door pad off? Or can you remove it w/out doing that? Pls, do share. 

 

Were the tow mirrors factory or did you add those on?  Did you replace the chrome window trim or wrap?

I have seen this complaint a few times and don't understand it, and I have first hand experience as my Fiance's Rav4 does the same thing where only the front doors unlock the vehicle with the proximity key. All we have to do is reach out a few feet to grab the front door handle to unlock the entire vehicle, not a big deal. As vehicles do more things people get entitled and there could easily be other reasons for it like reducing accidental activation of the locks. For example it eliminates two doors that can be accidentally unlocked by leaning or rubbing against it. I know with the Rav4 if I have the key in my pocked while washing the car when cleaning the handles the doors can lock/unlock. My brothers Altima has the unlock only on the front doors and he just touches the front door then puts my nephew in the back, easy peasy.

There maybe a few reasons for the complaint/criticism.....(not trying to be or sound offensive here?!)....but driver age, physical limitations, extent of use as well as how the truck is used, let alone the fact it is a $60K+ truck and a top of line trim package. When the truck is a 2nd office and you spend a lot of time on the road, it becomes a convenience issue that you learn to appreciate as you get older.....at least that's how I look at it.

The other thing that pisses me off about gm when they remove stuff for new model year, typically the prices go up a little bit anyway.

For the new model year traverse they are getting rid of the more advanced awd system to a cheaper one that isn't as good but they aren't charging less. Its a bad philosophy that GM seems to have these days for all their stuff.

Yup, kinda like how the T1s have single speed transfer case now if you don't pay extra for Z71

i had to remove all 4 door panels.   The fronts you need to remove them to unplug the button wires, on the rear I didn't need to since I didn't have buttons originally, but I wanted to see if the wires were still there.  If you do not have keyless entry buttons the door handles are super easy with a simple youtube search.

 

I added the tow mirrors last week, they are factory power folding and have blind spot.  I was able to find them on ebay.  Chrome trim was wrapped with gloss black vinyl.

Oh God! It's so HARD to unlock the rear doors by punching the front door lock button twice!

How will I get by?

 

1st world problem.

Not so much a First World Problem as it is a Second Year Problem. Few of us would even care to lift a finger to complain about the (shortsighted? Misguided? Stupid?) decision to remove the rear buttons from the Chevy lineup of the GM brands, if they had not given four buttons to us to begin with. It’s perfectly rational to air one’s grievances in such a scenario. 
 

And as one who uses the rear button almost more than my front button on my 2019 RST, I sit in the camp of grievances.

You can configure the front buttons to open all 4 doors with one touch; problem solved.

Or, for once in their life, GM could decide not to cheap out and just give everybody four buttons like they did for 2019.

It's also entirely possible that GM was having issues replacing faulty rear buttons and just decided they weren't needed and you could configure the front button to unlock all the doors.

 

When I was a Senior in High School my daily driver was a '57 Chevy and I know this sounds crazy, but you had to actually stick the key into the door and turn it 90 degrees to unlock your car!

 

Times were tough back then!

 

A friend had a '57 four door hardtop and to unlock the back door you had to reach around in the open front door and pull the button up!

By the end of the day, you were totally exhausted.

 

Sarcasm.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
