I think all of the upgrades pretty much addressed what GM was getting hit over the head for in the first place. For me and just for me personally, I'd want the F/R lockers with ventilated seats (living in Arizona and all). 

 

8" screen is fine, column shifter I prefer, and the interior is tough enough for my Siberian Husky and my 15 month old. Those two do a number on cars.

 

The HC and Denali needed a nicer interior to be more "competitive" with the other luxury trucks and initial impressions are showing it will be class leading.

 

This refresh will be a winner and compliment an already very good/excellent truck.

Yeah, it came in last month. Well worth the 4 month wait. It’s ridiculous and way quicker than anything this size deserves to be.   Nothing stopping GM from doing the same except their leade

LOL, wow. You really have a bias against the T1s.    The 2022 interior looks class-leading to me. Especially since you can get a full digital cluster on LT and above. Ford and RAM aren't any

Did you finally get your TRX?  If you did congrats. Wish GM had the b@lls to put a supercharger on the 6.2L.  Atleast as a factory option. What a waste!  Anyone saying 420HP is enough haven’t been in any really fast cars/trucks. It’s addicting and a glorious hoot!!!  
 

buddy has an Avalanche with a supercharged 6.2L, forges pistons, and race cam, and 4.10 rear end and that thing screams.

To be honest, I'm happy they went with the stock 6.2 in the ZR2. That means it's more likely to be priced well below a TRX or Raptor for those of us who want a better overlanding/trail rig and leaves room for Chevy to do a ZR2 Bison with a blown 6.2 and a redone high-articulation suspension (rather than just REALLY good shocks on the stock TB suspension that is the Silverado ZR2)

I’m still not over dropping Cocoa/Dune interiors. If I wanted to be ensconced in all black, I’d become a mortician. 🙃

 

This new interior upgrade looks great, I just question whey they weren’t launched with it. GM management never misses a beat to miss a beat.

GM management is about every last penny, simple as that. But hey that’s their business model and it makes them millions so who am I

Glad you’re staying around here on the forum. It’s always nice to have your input. 
 

Does the TRX rear window leak?! 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Over I like the new interior, I think the previous exterior design was nicer but I am sure I will like it eventually. Really excited to see the gmc Denali reveal..  A couple interesting things I’ve noticed in pictures, looks like we finally get power steering column, don’t see adjustable pedals button anywhere, still miss that from the k2s. Also don’t see an ac outlet in the centre console, although it could be somewhere else. Would definitely miss that for my laptop. Don’t see a 12 v plug, but most people probably don’t use that. Also wondering where/if the aux buttons would go in this version. Sure hope they didn’t forget that... Looks like no room to left of steering wheel anymore, which wasn’t a great spot. Would like to see them on ceiling like Ford has had for a long time. Hate the centre console shifter just such a bad waste of space. But the wireless charger is in a better spot, guess they had to with that shifter taking all the room now.

Other automakers operate the exact same way, yet they still manage to launch with better interiors

They were just in a complete rush to get the GM trucks out for 2019, and it shows. Not only in the interior, but with the overall build quality we saw early on. I loved my 2016 Sierra but my 19 Silverado was…ehh…very difficult.
 

GM spent a lot on the chassis and powertrains. So the T1 has always had the bones to be the best. I think this refresh will take it there.

It's not bad, and as others have said it addresses some things people have complained about.  Lockers are great, the extra lift is just 33's instead of 32's it should have had in the first place.   It does have some extra wheel travel and articulation but still significantly less than a Raptor.   Suspension should be improved, but still vastly inferior to the computer controlled on the fly dampening and linkage rear the Raptor has.   It will be interesting to see if it still has the 2+" front end nose dive the Trail Boss/AT4's do, on the commercial they all look very level, but many times what's in the ads/commercial isn't want shows up on dealer lots.   That might be great for a work pickup, but a real off road package truck should sit very close to level.   Front bumper is a good start, they could have done more with the rear.   It should have had 35's, but that would take some major work. Console shifter I could take or leave, to me it takes up a lot of room that could be used for storage, I'd' rather see it stay on the column or be a knob.  Interior is fine, screen looks like what the Buick's have had for awhile.  Hopefully they made the seats more comfortable than my AT4.  They need to step into 2015 and offer a panoroof. 

 

GM is in a bad position, they basically have to keep the price low, and the only way to do that is offer less and market it.   A current AT4 loaded is $65k, if this new version pushes $70k, a mid tier Raptor that has more tech, more power, and way more off road capability is ~$72k.    Lots of guys wanted to see a supercharger in it, but then it's probably close to $80k and for that you can basically get a tier 2 TRX and the TRX is so far beyond what GM can even dream in off road tech and design it's not even funny.    420hp is perfectly adequate but it's nothing special.   Dodge's standard motor is 410hp, Raptor is 450hp,  2022 Tundra is probably going to be over 400hp,  GM makes a big deal out of the 6.2L but it's nothing special anymore, aside that it seems to eat lifters like a fat kid eats cake.  The Raptor was built from the ground up from off roading, GM is just taking their standard half ton and bolting a couple toys on it and the price needs to reflect that.

Car and Driver thinks it will weigh in around $55K to start. I think that’s close to accurate. My guess was closer to $60K. 
 

For what you’re getting with the ZR2, that’s a good price. I think it’s smart to sell something $10K cheaper than the Raptor and TRX, knowing it’s not either of those. I’d personally rather have a $55K non supercharged ZR2 vs a $70K alternative for a little more punch in the pedal.

I like the zr2 even though I'm thinking it will touch the 90-100k mark, especially considering gm has the ability to probably only build a couple thousand right now so dealers will be marking up the hell out of em imo. Not sure i like the new grill but the 8 year old interior has thankfully been somewhat addressed.

No way that will MSRP at 90-100k.

I'd guess it will add another $5-7k to the truck price, if you figure it will be similar to the price increase for the Colorado ZR2 as the bar.   In the Silverado that's not a huge deal, but in a GMC, that pushes the MSRP to $70k+  For me if the price is even close the Raptor, the Raptor offers so much more truck, in off road prowess, tech features, power, and even convenience/comfort.    The only other "hidden" advantage might be in rebates, you don't see rebates on the Raptor, so if people can still get $5k etc. off the GM's that will help the price gap.   Assuming GM does not exempt that trim from rebates.  $55k to $70k is still a big price gap for the Chevy, but $65k for this in a GMC trim -vs- $70k for a raptor....raptor every day all day.

      Sugar Bears 2015 GMC Terrain SLE-2 2.4 AWD

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔

      cam upgrade in CA

      By AidenVorpagel · Posted

      hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.
