I like the interior. Only gripe would be the seats could have more lumbar support.  Still, it’s a nice place to be.

Buy the truck for the total package.  Sure, the interior plays a part but the GM is a nice place to be, maybe not as much wow but still pretty darn nice.  If you tow, and I do, then nothing else has the camera system the GM trucks have.  Other drawbacks can make the interior less important in the purchase decision.  Google Ford and Dodge death wobble and the multiple fixes that don't last for those buyers.  Ford is still using the Bosch CP4 high pressure fuel pump that can be a time bomb waiting to happen.  That's a $4000.00 repair that very few get covered under warranty.  The ride quality is another factor in GM's favor.  The Independent front suspension is a game winner.  Buy what you like but don't get awestruck by the interior alone.

Well said.   While tbh any one of these three trucks are generally in the same very small ball park, you are always going to have differences.  And three are never on the same timeline in terms of where they are with the current model and where they are in R&D and production of the next model.  Take for instance the Chevy HD is year two of production of a new design,  while ford is year 4 of the current HD truck, unsure of ram.  My only real rant with GM is  their interior is on par and some may say less than an almost 5 year old Ford design.  The other thing is you get to spending 60-70-80k or more the interior should be commiserate with that cost. GM is just not there,  Ford isnt either but they are coming out with a new interior next year.  Ram has really taken their stuff to the next level in the last 5 years or so, although quality with Ram seems to be shaky.  Luckily I dont keep anything for more than  3-5 years so when its time to move on its time.

I just laugh at these new interiors....I have a 2016 GMC Coco Dune leather and after 5yrs of ownership the ONLY thing cheap in this interior is the covers on 110v, USB and 12V   I just can't see these interiors mentioned above being able to handle 10yrs of truck abuse like the K2's they nailed it imo!

My 02s Avalanche leather interior is in very decent shape. With the exception on the drivers side bottom. A nice seat cover just for the bottom took care of that. Everything else still works as designed.

I agree that the you should buy a truck because of it's dependability and capability.  I just can not figure out why there are so many people that think the F250 interior is better than the Sierra.  It looks like a work truck to me.  Cheapest materials they could find plastic everywhere...

 

Oh well just wanted to see if I was crazy.

      Gas Prices

      By Atlas · Posted

      I recall paying $5.00/gallon in 2007 as well, although, different circumstances. A severe windstorm followed by a rare ice storm knocked out power in our region for days. We had a gas generator keeping the fridge cold and our furnace on power, and fuel stations either didn't have power, or didn't have gas because deliveries were delayed because of the storms. Driving around, we found one station that didn't have power but had a sandwich board set up out front. $5.00/gallon. They were hand-pumping it out of the underground tanks. I'm not sure that was legal or even advisable, but we needed it, and they had it. So we filled up. I was just out of college, just bought our house. Times were tight so $5.00 felt really outrageous. Local supermarkets couldn't keep stuff cold so they were basically giving food away. Fridge/freezer cases were literally being emptied out before the food expired. Never seen anything like it before, and until this day this event serves as the boilerplate for our winter storm prep.

      Have you spilt anything on the console during ownership?  Water, coffee, soda, juice, etc.?   GM has been seeing contaminated console shift controls causing all sorts of issues.  Requires replacing the shift control.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      If it's something they cannot figure out they can contact GM. They have a case open for noise in the suspension and my whistling drivers mirror they cant figure out how to fix.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Thing is gorgeous! Definitely been a LONG time since I've heard that sound!      I wouldn't call myself a purist, since I'll throw Wilwoods and power adders on anything. For me, that engine makes me cringe as a former shop owner remembering all I've been through with some of them. Plus I hate LS engines for their oiling system (MANY places to lose pressure from, especially on the AFM ones which I wouldn't be caught dead with), and the dowel-less front and rear covers - an engineering decision that irks me to no end! And I despise electronics with every fiber of my being.   My main reason for avoiding modern electronics is that when they fail, they typically leave you stranded. Tied for 1st place is also the fact that sometimes troubleshooting super-annoying problems can suck the life right out of you. I've wasted so many hours of my life chasing gremlins on those in all kinds of vehicles. I find carburetors and simple HEI style components much more suitable for keeping my sanity, lol. Different strokes for different folks. I probably get more hate from the younger crowd for sticking with my old school ways of thinking than you would for doing an LS swap.   When everything's working, they're certainly a ton of fun!

      Scan Equipment for 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas

      By davester · Posted

      I have an Edge Insight CTS2 in my '04 3500, and find it works well.  Only real problem I have with it is the obdii connector will work itself free over time, so it stops working and also freaks out the trucks electronics for a bit.  Remove and plug it in and it's good to go.  More recently, I've taken to zip-tying it in place which also seems to work.
