Just picked up my new 2021 2500 LT crew z71 on Friday. Love it so far!  I had a 2020 f150 max tow before and it just wasn't quite up to snuff for our 36' travel trailer.  Anyway, I didn't even notice until today when we were out and grabbed dinner that there are 0 cup holders in 2nd row! My LT has flip down center front armrest. Thankfully my girls car seats have cup holders built in.  Anyway, found it very odd that a 2021 anything wouldn't have cup holders. Ha. 

 

So on that note, has anyone found a good center console type thing for 2nd row?

Middle back seat has a fold down part that have 2 cup holders, and if you have the captain’s front seat, the center console will have another 2 for the back seat riders

Not all rear seats have the fold down middle. My LT is a solid bench seat and front fold down center armrest. So, means 0 cup holders in rear seat.

some things I'll just never get with GM. my wife drives the new Tahoe, and no matter what trim level, if you want for lights, you have to go to GMC, Chevy did not get fog lights

Bummer - is there an aftermarket something that you can hang from the front headrests?

With more electronics being added, conveniences will disappear, consumers want prices to stay the same with more bells and whistles, something has to give.

Completely agree on the new Tahoe, not even sure what kind of cost saving measure that was. I like the factory driving/fog lights, they do a nice job and I use them every time driving at night.

I was actually looking at some last night that hang off tbe headrest. I think i can get something like that and make them hang off back of center console and achieve a somewjat factory look. I'll play around with it and see what I can come up with.  But hey, I actually have led fog lights! Haha

My 2020 LT has the leather package which apparently includes the rear seat storage cubbies and the fold down armrest (with cupholders). I believe there was a separate option on cloth seat models for those features.

 

Some of the other features on my truck don't make much sense either. The interior lighting and fog lights are all LED but the head and tail lights are incandescent. I'll probably upgrade those with LED bulbs someday.

DRW Silverados have one small exception to that.  Duallies have LED taillights with signature lighting for all trim levels, but incandescent reverse lights for WT and LT, LED reverse lights for LTZ and HC.

Good to know! 

As indicated, I only checked the 2021 2500's

I'm glad this has turned into an LED light discussion. ? ?

Curious if you found a good solution for this. We recently purchased a 2021 Sivlerado 2500HD and found ourselves with the same head-scratching thought... our F150 had cup holders, and this more expensive truck doesnt... haha.

yeah you needed the back seat option to get this  think it was 225 for something.

 

But overall agree with no cupholders.  GMs interior is still sub par IMO

I get what you are saying but at same time I disagree.  Somethings wouldnt cost more,  a lot of these things plastic parts are already being molded, installed and then sold to you.  There would be no cost to change the mold for a particular area.

 

In general the big three are killing on trucks and SUV's.  So its a matter of being greedy more than anything, but people pay it.

 

Take for instance a 1500 LT(fully loaded) and a 1500 Denali.  The denali will cost 20-30k more,  power train(and everything mechanically is the same)  body panels are 98% the same short of badges and some grills.  The denali may have some more bells and whistles but not 20-30k more,  thats pure profit based of branding.

 

Options just kill me at times.  I could get a standard 20in wheel with truck A say,  the option wheel which is also 20in could cost me 2-4k from what I saw.  yeah option wheel is more fancy,  both are typically same metal,  and yes the option wheel probably took some more machining.  But they both start at the same block of metal,  is it 2-4k more,  no.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      The BORA 3/8" spacers arrived yesterday along with the extended lug nuts. I got the front wheels changed out today, but was overheated and covered in sweat so bad, I figured getting both front wheels done was a win, and took a cool shower. Hopefully, I'll go out tomorrow morning before it gets into the 80+ temps and do the backs. After getting the first wheel snugged up, I backed out one of the lug nuts then hand turned to count threads. I believe I stopped counting around 12-13, so I think I'm good there.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      My fullsize truck is averaging over 26mpg so I'm pretty happy with the increased fuel economy targets. When I had my gas Silverado (2020 5.3) it was averaging 21. Again, for a fullsize truck, that's very different from the 12-15 these things used to get 30 years ago.   Whine all you want, increased MPG is a good thing.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I think an OBD-first proof is probably the right next step. I agree that the value is not the hardware box by itself. The marketable part would be the software: always-on capture, baseline learning, event reduction, system-specific reports, and alerts. Also agreed that if an OBD device is always plugged in and has local storage, it should not miss the event in the same way that a scanner plugged in after the fact would. The only thing I would not want to assume yet is that an ELM327-class device gives all the late-GM data needed at the rate needed. Standard OBD live data, DTCs, freeze frame, Mode 6, VIN, and calibration information are definitely the right starting point. GDS2 also proves that a lot of useful ECM data can be viewed through the DLC without needing a DTC first. The question I need to test is whether the data needed for a useful GM V8 event report is actually available through the DLC, and at a useful sample rate: - misfire counts / roughness by cylinder - AFM/DFM state - oil pressure and oil temperature - fuel trims - voltage / reset context - U-codes and communication events - calibration / software information - whether these are standard PIDs, enhanced DIDs, Mode 6 data, GDS2-only data, or not available So I think the right benchmark is: 1. Build the OBD-only version first. 2. Keep it plugged in and logging locally. 3. Compare it against GDS2 / freeze frame / HP Tuners or another higher-end logger. 4. Measure which parameters are available and at what update rate. 5. Only justify ECM-side hardware if it captures useful evidence the OBD version cannot. So you may be right: the consumer product might simply be an always-plugged-in OBD event recorder with much better reporting. A question for you: when you say ELM327 devices can already deliver all the data needed, do you mean generic OBD Mode 01 data only, or GM enhanced data as well? For a useful GM V8 report, would generic OBD data be enough, or would you expect the tool to include enhanced items like misfire by cylinder, AFM/DFM state, oil pressure/oil temp, U-codes, and calibration information?
