Thanks   I was looking at some of the 110V to 12V adapters as well.  It’s kinda like adding insult to injury. LOL.  I’ll be wiring in a 12V adapter I guess so I can use both 110v and 12V simultaneously.  Just like the trucks in Jan 2022 were built to do.

You realize that your opinion isn't the only reasonable opinion?  Some of us would rather have an outlet than to have a converter.

That is pretty disappointing.  Don't all modern radar detectors still use them?  I have mine hard-wired in one of my cars, but I use the 12v plug when I want to use it to another vehicle.

12v to 110 or USB converter and this is a non-issue. I have even linked one for your convenience.

This is actually a nice suggestion on some levels.   Essentially this is a cheap buck boost transformer with a USB port.   I may even order one and try it out but I can already warn you.   USB is only 5V.    So this may work for a very low amperage tool like a radar detector.   I would expect it may burn out if used with a higher amperage tool like a tire inflator/compressor, which I always have handy in the truck.

Who cares about the loss of a 12V outlet you ask?  I could only answer, Not you.   LOL

@JS1You could always do the 110v to a 12v

I would hope that if you bought a $60,000 truck you could afford a new tire inflator / compressor...

At this point you are in the minority. 

Just like how a lot of guys voice their opinion about a RCSB truck with a 6.2 or even a 5.3, me being one of those guys.

Everyone votes with their wallets.  On this thread, you seem to be the minority.  But really... "who cares lol?".  I see people offering help by providing a link to converters but that doesn't mean they think JS1 is foolish for wanting 12v built in.

 

If my '22 had a 12v connection, I'd probably only use it a handful of times.  Had it not been for this thread, I'd probably have grabbed my radar detector on my way out the door of a long trip and not realized I didn't have a port.  Thanks to JS1, now I know I have to buy a converter and give up some console space.

Obviously I am in the minority of the thread that's sole purpose is to mention they don't have a 12v and ask the GM gods why...

 

Quote where I called him foolish. I can understand why you may want a 12v but GM doesn't care about that.

 

I don't think this is a push towards electric vehicles I think that GM probably just looked around and noticed most people aren't using the 12v outlet like they have in the past. Especially now that USB and 110v ports have become so prevalent in vehicles the 12v is really on the way out.

Or maybe a $60-$70k truck should come with a $2 12v outlet.....

That's mostly what it comes down to.  Same reason CD players disappeared from vehicles.  USBs, iPods, phones, streaming.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jus Cruisin · Posted

      I was the GM of a Lincoln Mercury dealership back in the 80's. The service lot was always full with "broken" ones. Plenty of transmissions, power windows and a/c repairs. The only one I'd consider owning would be the Marauder at this point and it certainly wouldn't be a daily driver.  My 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate is my "Lincoln Town Car" in my retirement. I want all the "stuff". Big infotainment screens, one touch power windows, Supercruise (I won't buy another vehicle without it), hands free pretty much everything. I'm going to swap my current truck for a 2027 Yukon Denali Ultimate so I can have the air suspension and surround vision recording along with all the other "stuff".

      The Denali Ultimate's grille is tinted, but the "regular' Denali has a bright chrome grille like the current models.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
