2021 HD Changes

C/K Man · October 8, 2020

Any word or rumors about 2021 HD changes beyond what we have seen in the order guides? I am not expecting much, but I think 2022 may bring an MCE.

Towing goes up to 36,000 and other than color changes that's about it.

Wireless Airplay and some minor color changes.

Some trim levels have different standard features.

I've heard rumor of adaptive cruise for 2021 but didn't see it in the article posted. Anyone have any info on adaptive cruise? I have it in my current truck and love it.

As someone who purchased a 2020 Sierra Denali 2500HD Duramax, the only addition I see that I would like is the Apple Car Play going wireless.

Wow, that really is a shame. I just really like my gagets and features. I think GM is really missing the mark by not adding it as an option on HD trucks. The tech is not even close to new at this point. Mercedes has had it forever now and my even the 15 Yukon I had came with it. Oh well, maybe they will add it someday...

They seem to be still playing out the surround and towing camera system that I have yet to see work correctly. Maybe it is just my area or my experience, but we were told our 3500 HC could not come from the factory because of issues they have been having with it and have been since told that it cannot now not be added. Spent a good bit of money for this one and do not have cameras for the mirrors or bed ... fairly disappointed with GM's attention on this.

I haven't heard of any issues with the camera system. I'm on my 2nd 2020 and had no issue getting or using the camera system, works great IMO.

Is the bed view camera actually "new" or is it just new in the sense that they moved it to the rear view mirror. I think I remember reading something about it having a new zoom feature but can't remember. If its just the fact that it was moved to the rear view mirror from the main screen, thats a step back if you ask me.
