I have a 2021 TrailBoss on deposit and a couple of questions just dawned on me

Couldn't find answers through search, so asking here.  I'm coming from a 2018 LTZ for reference.

 

1. My new truck doesn't have the "safety package", but it's got the HD rear vision camera -- will it not beep when I get to close proximity of something while backing up?  And I assume I won't get the front parking proximity alerts either?

 

2. It's coming with the standard 18" black wheels, but I just saw that the upgraded 20" black wheel/tire combo is available for an additional $500.  Is this something I can add at the dealership or does it have to come like that straight from the factory?

 

Thanks in advance!

Ask your dealer if they can send you a copy of the options list. I had mine send it to me when I ordered my 2021 Sierra and it had every option installed called out on it. 

 

You can add the wheels at the dealer, but they will charge you to install/reprogram. Best to call them and ask what they can do for you. A lot of times they can swap you with some dealer takeoffs when they send new units for lift kits. Sometimes they'll be cool about it and charge very little if any at all.

Thanks!  I've got the window sticker for it right in front of me; shows HD rear vision camera but no safety package.  Just trying to determine if there are any backup alerts associated with the backup camera..it would seem odd to me that it wouldn't beep at me for proximity in addition to the camera!

 

Waiting to hear back from my salesman re: adding the larger tires at the dealer. Will update back here for everyone's future reference!

There may or may not be, only way to tell is to see all installed options for the truck. You can have the camera but not have sensors. I suspect it won't have them if it doesn't say so. Never hurts to ask for the sheet just so you'll have it.

Front and rear sensors are a great option and there are aftermarket sensors you can consider.  You are doing what many of us  do and that is you're still shopping after you've made your choice!  I'd take delivery as negotiated and enjoy your new truck!

1.  No safety package, no rear park assist.

 

2.  Not for $500.  That price is only when building/ordering the truck.  You are looking at $2000 for just the wheels and figure another $1000 for tires to do it after the truck has been built.  Cheapest option would be a set of Trail Boss 20 inch takeoffs and if they have a set see about swapping.

Just so you're aware. If you opt for the 20" wheels on the Trail Boss, you get different tires. You get Wrangler Trailrunner AT's instead of Wrangler Duratrac's. Better highway performance, but not as aggressive off-road.

Don't settle on the Safety Package if you cant afford it . Its worth every penny of the $890. 

Especially the front sensors.

He is going to add 20's to the off road version of the truck, I highly doubt that will be an issue as it won't be seeing any off roading that requires the more aggressive tire and larger sidewall, just a street truck so the highway performance I am sure will be welcomed.

Oh I don't care about any of that. I'm just letting him know that the 20" option comes with less aggressive tires than the standard 18" wheels. Might be an issue for some people as it's not readily apparent that the 20" option comes with different tires.

The Territory tires are a lot more off-road worthy than the Trailrunner AT's, for sure.

Not sure when you placed the order, but if the truck hasn't been picked up by GM and placed in queue to be built the dealer can change whatever you want

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
