Weathertech floor liners front and back and a console tray were the first two things I bought. 

Since I have added a Undercover Flex tonneau for the back.  Then I bouhgt and cut a 2X8 piece of lumber correctly to use as a load blocker in the bed slots.  My GMC is an SLT so it came with most everything else I usually buy.  So far no problems.

Since purchasing the truck 11 Nov,

 

Antenna

Storage insert for console

Air Raid MIT w/Filter

Eibach springs and shocks (back ordered)

Tint (Friday)

Detailed(Saturday)

 

In a couple of months plan on getting a tonneau cover and a TruXedo Tonneaumate tool box. After that it will be sub and dsp.

Day 1?  I had over $5k in stuff sitting in my garage a week before I got my truck.  Only 1 item was installed in the truck by the dealer before I took possession -- Thinkware F800 front and rear cameras.

 

The following were in my garage before the truck arrived:

 

• GM Sportbar

• GM offroad steps

• GM Performance intake

• GM Performance exhaust

• GM rear wheel well liners

• GM Accessories illuminated front bowtie

• Black vinyl letters for tailgate

• Black SILVERADO and LT badges for tailgate

• WeatherTech window visors

• WeatherTech license plate soft bumper frame (use it on front plate, adds to rugged appearance of Trail Boss while also providing a little bit of protection)

• WeatherTech clear license plate cover (helps prevent rear plate from being stolen.  I might swap this to the tinted version now that I'm thinking about it)

• Tablet/Cell phone holders from Amazon that tension mount to front seat headrest posts so rear seat occupants (aka, kids) can use their devices on long trips

• Rough Country hard trifold tonneau

• Chrome locking hitch pin

• University of Utah trailer hitch cover

 

All of this stuff was installed within a week.

Nobody buys side steps? My new 2012 F-150 had it and I could not live without it.. had it added on the 2016 F-150 XLT, then again on the 2019 Silverado RST, then again on the Cheyenne RST.

Ours came from the factory with them and they definitely are needed.

#2 on my list of things that was in the garage a week before the truck arrived.  Been very beneficial with kids and a short wife.  Very detrimental for offroading.

I don't like the look of side steps. And at 5FT 8IN, I don't have any problem getting into my truck even with a small lift.

I did/still am contemplating the high clearance off-road steps that come on the new AT4/Trail Boss. I like the look of them and how low profile they are.

Tires at some point & bed rug to round things out.

    • 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?
