So some people are too lazy to press either one of the front door buttons to unlock all the doors....?

It so happens I am so lazy I would not consider a car with manual windows either. I am also so lazy I would not consider a car with manual locking front hubs either.

Ahh, the good ol' days.

At least your honest with yourself. Is it hard to get off the couch or do you have someone get your food and beer for you??

I don't even drink beer and nobody makes food the way I like it.

 

It seems I use the back seat a lot more than others, I'd say about 4 out of 5 last trips I made, I used the rear seat as a trunk so I use it a lot more than others. The button is a much nicer feature for me compared to others, obviously. If some want to confuse convenience with laziness, so be it.

I see. I agree with the rear doors having buttons. My 2019 high country has them and I love it. But I can see how it’s really not that important to most people. Use the key fob and hit unlock on it  once (if settings are changed) or twice and all doors unlock. Pretty simple!

I don't unlock my car from a distance in bad areas when I'm holding bags of groceries. Same reason why I live in a gated community.

Better find a new place to live then!  Thank goodness I live in the good old plain states where hospitality is a priority. 
I remember when I moved to Las Vegas. Unreal how different life was there. No one waved at you when you drove by them. Everyone stared at you like an alien instead of saying friendly hello. So glad I’m back here where common courtesy is expected. I feel better with my kids in school and walking home as well. Never in Vegas would I have.

That's the Vegas we know and love! Perhaps you should have opted for Henderson instead. I lived there a while ago, way, way, way nicer than Vegas! Could not stand the dry air so I moved back to Orange County.

$55k for a 20 6.2 RST doesn't seem ridiculous depending on how it's optioned up.  My 21 6.2 RST stickered for $63....and I love it compared to my 16 All Terrain, even with less options!  I bought mine last month from the Boucher auto group in the Milwaukee, WI area and they had like $3500 dealer cash on all of the 21's and they day I bought mine they pulled that dealer cash from all of their 6.2's.

So you paid almost $60k for an RST? ???  I paid $60k for my High Country which has everything but a kitchen sink in it!  I still think $55k for an RST is outrageous. They should be $45k to $48k decked out. They don’t even have same features as an LTZ. 
In all honesty these trucks are getting way over priced. But as long as YOU like it and you can afford it. I’m not going to tell you how to spend your money ?. ?

Wow, I have to agree here, the 2019 RST we have has a base price of $44,500 with $8,660 worth of options, total $53,160, and it was bought for $42,000. Not bad for a first year model. For $60k, I'd have gone for the LTZ.

I didn’t pay that for it but that is what the sticker was, it was just under $54 OTD. 6.2, $3k wheels, “performance package,” hard cover, side steps, convenience(Bose with sub)/safety package, bed liner, leather... that all adds up fast to $16k in options.   I don’t feel like I overpaid a dime, it’s all the stuff I wanted with one exception, memory seats. Yeah, some of the new options are cool, but I got real with myself and what I liked and wanted, last truck was SLT and came from 2 fully loaded Denalis before that.  They had a pretty loaded up 6.2 LTZ that was within $800 of the sticker price of mine. I didn’t want chrome.  $60k sounds about where you could get a 6.2 high country around Milwaukee/Chicago in January when I was looking saw a couple 5.3 and duramax in the $54 range Those are cool looking trucks, especially the cherry red tintcoat.  Looked at a 6.2 TB that color?

Here we all like pics. 
just broke 1k miles and got my new tips welded on today?. Excuse the dirty truck it’s been like 1° all week and it started snowing again.

here are the duals pic is too big to upload here.

That's interesting.. you don't have "Silverado" on the bottom left. Mine has "Cheyenne" on the bottom left along with "RST" on the right.

    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
