When shopping for trucks the shifter style is one of the things I pay attention to, I gave way too much consideration to Ford simply because they put the shifter in the correct location. I had to keep reminding myself it has an under-powered too-small engine.

 

Curious , were you shopping for a base 3.3 motor ? 

Because the rest of their motors coupled with the 10A , are all pretty damn quick.  Even the 2.7 moves out really well.

Maybe it's time to start accepting the fact that the demographic you THINK buys the most trucks is not actually the demographic buying the most trucks.

I dunno if different groups are seeing different posts but I swear everyone here was terrified that they’d use the button shifter from the SUV last year. But now everyone hates the console shifter. I

I prefer a button shifter...reminds me of the Allison controls on a lot of older and newer heavy trucks.   If GM isn't doing physical linkages anymore, button-shift on the dash seems like an

On the Ford lineup there is only 1 engine I'd ever consider, the 5.0 V8. some day I'm sure I will end up with an electric car like everyone else, but until that happens its a V8 or nothing. And its not a lack of experience, I owned an ecoboost once, absolutely hated it. the sound that engine made drove me nuts and at least to me it was no where near as powerful nor as efficient as everyone said it was. but, that's just my take on it.

I have to agree with you 100%. Stepdad owned a 2013 ecoboost for 6 years. I never was impressed with it. He Couldn’t ever get over 17 mpgs with it. Finally convinced him on a GMC Sierra with 5.3L and 10 spd combo. He averages 22 mpgs with it and loves it. Said has great power. Not the snap back instant “turbo” whoosh but more linear. I’ve also been really impressed with the new 5.3L/10 spd combo.

I honestly like the current interior better... The radio controls look like a cheap aftermarket radio. 

 

They should've used the current Yukon Denali interior with the column shifter IMO

So glad I have my column shifter. The console shifter is a waste of space. The dash button/lever sucks.

 

It sucks to see the column shifter having gone away, especially with the new redesign. GM was holding tight to this for so many years. I do hate the console shifter, and agree as that is a total waste of space.

Paddle shifters? What the hell for? It's a truck. I put in drive and go. If I need to go faster, I push the throttle down.

Driving mountain roads all the time I would use the paddle shifters. I drive in manual so it would be nice to use them instead of the button on the gear shifter. 

Not buying a truck to have them though.

I don’t mind the floor shifter. Looks wise  it’s the best look but like many have said it takes away space. I would have preferred the MBZ shifter style .  Column shifter like the GMs but shortened by about 6 inches so it’s not that visible.

I'm relieved and pleased that GM didn't go with push button gear selector like in the Tahoe and Suburban.  I bought a 2020 for 2 reasons, one of which was concern that the a 21 or 22 would have those push buttons.  It's the same reason I didn't buy a Ram.  That dial is a huge nope.  Imo, the only thing Ford had going for it was the console shifter.  Hopefully the console shifter will still be around in 15-20 years when I decide to buy another truck (hopefully my current truck lasts a long).  I don't mind the column shifter.  It is a reasonable compromise, but downhill driving is much easier with a console shifter.  And, if I want to get sporty with my truck it's more convenient to control with a console shifter than a dual, push buttons, or column shifter.  Big yeah for steering wheel paddles if I want to get sporty out in the desert, and I think that's why GM put them there to begin with -- ZRX.

 

As for the buttons at the bottom, that whole area looks like it came from a late 80s- early 90s car.  It'll suffice, but could've been better.

I think it's entirely possible that there will be button shifters on the non-Denali or HC trims. I honestly think this console shifter is just a Denali thing to make it feel more SUV'ish. 

I too think this is possible.  On the 2021 Yukon the Denali instrument panel is very different than the Yukon AT4 instrument panel.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
