So all, I'm back again after a few years. Looks like GMC has gotten the interior that both my wife and I like.. Yay! 

 

A couple of questions. One, no wireless charging? If true, is it a chip retrofit down the road? 

 

Two, Super Cruise, does it come with a trial subscription? 

 

Ok, one more. Is the factory option hard folding tonneau REV (basically BakFlip)? 

 

Thanks all.

Some trucks are being built without wireless charging, likely due to just another chip shortage or supply chain issue that have become the norm over the last couple years. If your window sticker doesn’t say “includes later retrofit” (which I don’t believe wireless charging does) then you’re not gonna get it from Chevrolet on that truck.

 

You’d have to look at the window sticker for a particular truck to know whether on not it has it.

I'm guessing the new ones have the charger deleted. Not a deal breaker for sure. 

The folding hard tonneau for the Silverado is a REV. I'm assuming the GMC'S get the same. I had an BakFlip MX4 on my 2016 F150 and 2019 Ram. I liked them alot. 

As far as Super Cruise, any free trial?

I just ordered 11-11-22 a fully loaded 2023 Denali at Ultimate specs. I dislike the interior of the Ultimate, but the dealer could order 1 Denali in November and they ordered for me. It arrived at the dealership 12-26-22.. I picked it up 12-27-22

 

I have the Wireless and it does not work well like many others have posted recently. Some are saying it is the rubber mat which I tried to charged without the rubber mat and sure enough it worked great.

 

Then the SuperCruise ( SC ). GM was doing $999 3 years subscription with OnStar and having the SC work. Well, that did not go over well and now the 3 years is bundled in the MSRP and you get the 3 years subscription and use it for the 3 years. It works ok.. but if you live on a major road like me that is not mapped in Google for SC, then SC does not work. Then if a new lane is added to a tollway in the last 1-2 years, that lane is not mapped in Google and SC does not work. 

 

My KIA EV6 has HDA2 and it drives itself based on the stripes in the road and works excellent. I wish that SC was based on stripes and GPS provided by Google Maps. 

 

I got the Carbon Pro bed. Just ordered my REV flip hard top and rubber mat for the bed. Together that was $1400 free ship to my dealer. I will install it all myself and save the $300 the dealer wanted for install.

Thank you. I really don't need Super Cruise personally. I have BlueCruise on my F150 which has a year trial. It works but I really don't trust it so I don't take my hands off the wheel anyway. I'm thinking it'll be a must have for resale down the road.

IF your truck comes without wireless charger, there is no retrofit per se. What I mean by that is that the dealer will not install a new module for free. You can however purchase a retrofit kit from 404parts.com, mine came in the mail today and plan on installing it tomorrow.

The SuperCruise seems to work good when it is activated. I was cruise control set at 80MPH and came upon a fairly sharp curve in the road and it took the curve without veering off the road into the shoulder area. If it had been my KIA EV6, it would have ran off the road as the HDA2 is good, but when a sharp corner is coming up, it will allow you to run off and no warning.

No retrofit on the wireless charger (from GM).

 

Super Cruise I think is part of the 1 month OnStar trial?

 

REV = Bakflip.  REV is Bak Industries "private label" for supplying to OEMs for their accessories catalogs.

      MPG at 600 miles

      100% agree, there are a lot of variables. I definitely do not drive I’ve like a grandpa but also don’t drive like I stole it. Truck is currently in the shop so I’ll have to get weight later. The price for driving it doesn’t bother me. My precious was a 6.2l so the cost between the two is a wash.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By c4racer2 · Posted

      that is pretty awesome MPG there!  I think so far one observation is these trucks do way better on MPG under 65mph vs 70+ and they really suffer at 75+   I noticed on the stretches into NE on 76 and 80 which is posted 75MPH and I was doing 82 I was getting more like 13.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.
