Had 6 GM trucks since 2019.....3 half tons and 3 three quarter tons... 19 RST- High Country (23)

 

the seats have all been the same except leather or cloth...firm and tilted down  too much

 

Owned 2021 Ram and they were better, a buddy has a 22 Ford and they were by a good margin better than both of the other brands

 

I use a cushion in my GM, and risers on the front to tilt it back more

 

Still prefer GM over other brands as a whole.

 

Am avg weight @ 160lbs 

 

If you like firm GM is the one for you

I got my Z71 refresh yesterday and I can say the seats are more comfortable than my '19 RST even though they look the same. Passenger said the same.

Does the refresh have the same style covers and shape as the LTD?

I've owned all of the Big 3. All high end models with leather. Since 2016, I've owned an F150 King Ranch, then Ram Limited 1500 , F150 Platinum and now GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate 1500. I never had seat issues with any of them and the GMC comfort is equal to all which means excellent. The massage feature is much better than the F150. 

Respectfully, no not at all. Everyone else in this thread and myself tend to disagree with you. I have owned or used all 3 extensively too here on our farm. The GM trucks are the clear winner in the title of crappiest seats. They are too short in the front to back length, and they are much firmer and uncomfortable after driving an hour or two. The F150 seats feel like a damn recliner compared to GM's seats. I'm baffled how GM puts out seats like this and thinks they are ok? Then again, they gave the green light on an infotainment system that has a loading screen in a $60K+ truck that is reminiscent of Windows '95...

I don't drive around a farm. I drive 19-21 hours straight between Florida to Michigan. No leg issues, back issues. I also drove for a living for a few years (averaged 3,000 miles a week) so maybe I'm just a hard ass. 😉

I miss the big comfy lazy boy gmt-800 seats. They have been garbage since the 06 redesign, smaller, less wide with half the padding on them.

1998 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE Extended Cab Z71 .....cloth gray buckets...best dam seats I've ever sat in.  I could've drove to Australia if there was a road.....lol.

I actually bit the bullet and got a 23 high country a few months ago.  Compared to my 19 denali, the seats are firm still, but definitely better.  My legs don't go numb and my butt doesn't feel like I've been sitting on a wooden bench after an hour.  I drive several hours a day and it is definitely much more tolerable. Not as comfy as fords, not sure about ram, but they aren't as bad as they used to be.

'23 Denali 1500 and the driver seat is the most uncomfortable seat in any vehicle I have ever owned. Even on a short drive it feels like my upper left thigh is sitting on a brick. It's pretty sad when my son's 20k Kia is more comfortable to drive than my 70k+ Denali. It's baffling how GMC puts these terrible seats in their trucks.

I had a 2019 denali and absolutely hated the seats, I know a lot of people have complained about them.  Anyone that has a 2022 refreshed model, can you tell if they improved the seat comfort at all?

still bad - 23 RST leather seats are super firm. Miss my big horn cloth seats every time I get in

The seats on my 21 AT4 felt like they didn’t have any padding and were uncomfortable. My 23 SLT seats are much better and have much more padding.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
