Well, it is in the system settings as an option.  Apparently it is not programmed properly.  An update should fix it.  My truck is not yet built so maybe it will work on mine.

 

I'll take rock rails tucked under the body any day over all the steps the factory offers.  But the AT4X is so tall, the power boards are a welcomed inclusion.

Yeah...I get it. Factory fixed running boards aren't the greatest either. I was 50/50 on getting them. Wasn't a cost issue at all. What's 1K when you are spending $80K+!

Our time lines are running real close.... maybe they ran the double cabs at the same time...?

Re: OPA winner's Banquet,... I wish, only in my wildest dreams. I'm just an offshore wanna be who's time has come and gone.  Again, congratulations to Team Saris on the stellar year, maybe see ya at 2024 Lake Race.

appreciate it, thank you.

 

Im thinking youre right on the cabs. SLE as well right?

Double cab SLE, you betcha.

I'm dangerous enough backing at the boat ramp that I don't need the extra length of the mega monster crew cab. I can place the trailer tires w/ pinpoint accuracy, it's just the front of the truck swinging like a pendulum that gets me in trouble 😎🫢

Long bed crew is like driving a school bus around. All depends on what you're doing with them and the look you want. I personally feel that the standard bed crews look far better, but they won't tow quite as well. The double-cabs look too stubby & are cramped in comparison to a crew. I was always a regular cab long box guy until I started buying crews in '07, and I'll never go back because I got used to the room. The best towing truck is the long box crew dually, but it's a behemoth if you're just driving around!

there's pros and cons to it all. the crew/std bed looks good in a 3/4 but i cant stand crew/short bed in a half ton. soccer mom trucks....just get a tahoe. personally i think the double cab/std bed looks more "trucky" in the 3/4. plus a little shorter overall which I like. reminds me of the extended cab which i loved the look of. none of us can go wrong thats for sure. hell im not sitting back there lol

What is the length difference between a double cab and crew with the same bed?  9"?  Don't see that mattering to anyone unless the garage is too small for a crew.

i agree its not much but every little bit helps sometimes. i play in a band, gotta park in cities sometimes. i wanted the smallest "big truck" i could get other than a reg cab. and like i said...I prefer the less cab more bed look. looks tougher to me. its just a personal opinion....everybodies got one lol

For me it was crew cab or bust. My seat needs to be back almost all the way and with three kids across the back, it was crew only. I still feel there is more box than cab length due to the nearly 7’ box. But that isn’t the case in a half ton. 
 

I would have liked the long bed but won’t  fit in the garage and the std box will. I prefer getting in the truck at 40deg vs below zero and scraping off ice and snow haha

Yeah, to be honest, after owning HD's ALL the 1/2 ton's (GM, RAM, Ford) look ridiculous to me. The rake of them just screams cheap to me. The HD's just look more "manly"!

I haven't been able to find exactly what I'm looking for on the lengths, but it looks like a double-cab long box is very close to the same length as a crew standard bed.

I placed an order with my dealer on 3/31/2023 for a Crew Cab Long Bed 2500 L8T.  The dealer called me on 2/1/2024 with allocation.  Long Beds seem to have been so hard to come by in my area for the last year.  I'm not sure I believed it until I saw the Chevy.com chat bot list my order status as accepted by GM.

Not a ton of call vs the shorter bed plus they only build those in flint.

    • Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.       
    • We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper. 
    • Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money". 
    • I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back. 
    • That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
