The more lazy we get, the more freedom we loose. Has anyone actually read about what onstar collects on you. I declined to allow them to collect/store information on me, so they cut off my onstar features. By the looks of it, you'll now have a camera pointed at your face accompanied by audio recording in 2022.

Any reason as for why a new interior update?
The current GM truck has the worst interior of the biz. I love my AT4 but the interior is pretty boring compared to the ram.

If GMC had the same wheel wells as the Silverado we'd have a best truck contender

Common for GM to do a mid-cycle model facelift including exterior, interior or both. Square bodies got some changes in 81, GMT400's got a front facia update in 94, interior in 95. GMT800's got both in 03. K2's got a front facelift in '16...

It's a truck, or am I mistaken?  ?

I know there a lot of folks here who love their interior and There is nothing wrong with that . We are all entitled to our opinions. 

However when you look at the Ford and especially the RAM , in my humble opinion the GM brothers. fall short. 

More so on the HC and Denali trims that are getting close to 70k . It just does not give you that Plush feel for 70k . 

Also 95% of the online editors/magazines folks who review for a living also speak to this short coming.  

Its not bad by any means , it just kind of boring . Gm knows this and are about to do something about it in a big way if the gauge cluster is any indication.

Does that work? lol

 

Laws are different here in Canada or rather, at least the government hasn't been caught breaking those laws.

    • if you want a short turning radius get a short bed Colorado!
    • that is pretty awesome MPG there!  I think so far one observation is these trucks do way better on MPG under 65mph vs 70+ and they really suffer at 75+   I noticed on the stretches into NE on 76 and 80 which is posted 75MPH and I was doing 82 I was getting more like 13.    
    • No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.      
    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.
