This looks great. I like how they moved the speedo and tach over to the sides and left a lot of space in the middle for different complications. 

 

The Ford winking tach on their 2021 F150 digital display is one of THE dumbest things I've seen recently. 0.o <--- who thought that would look good OR be functional? "Yeah, around 2.3 RPM, my truck really sounds great!" ??‍♂️

There are enough people on this forum who seem to think their trucks are race cars.  I'm sure they'd be giddy about that stupid tach.  GM should up the ante with a formula 1 style shift light bar.

 

Personally, I stare at a screen for more time than I'd like so these new gauge clusters don't really do it for me.

I’ll reserve judgement until i actually see it. That and how much the prices increase for a sedan like interior.
 

I looked at the new Rams before settling on a Sierra I liked the interior of the Rams but I don’t buy based on interiors especially on a truck.

 

I like the “boring, outdated” black plastic interior for the simple fact it’s easy to clean and hides dirt/dust and imperfections from being used as an actual Truck.

you want a refreshing experience... try sitting in a early 1990's GM car. it will blow your mind. the level of comfort and roomyness it's amaizing. i sat in a 90's Caprice the otherday, zero technology and no gadgets. it was a thrill to drive

When I get into a 90s GM, I feel like I’m sitting in a garbage bag. The plastics are some of the cheapest, blandest looking crap I’ve ever seen. While everything is functional, GM made their reputation of crappy interiors in the 90s and still haven’t fully shaken it.

    • Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?     
    • Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.  
    • Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!
    • I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
