Bought a '24 1500 LTZ with some packages I'm not familiar with

[casual]

I recently bought a '24 LTZ. This is my first Chevy and I'm not super familiar with all the packages or offerings. I typically only buy cars barebones with no packages or dealer added items. I ended up buying this one after seeing it was on the lot for almost a year and talking the dealership down to 60k..

 

My main question is, I see that the window sticker has "trailer tire pressure monitor system". Was I supposed to receive anything like TPMS sensors with this package or is this referencing something else? I did get a separate box with a trailer camera.

 

The other thing I was curious about.. I read about the top part of the multi-flex tailgate hitting your hitch when opened. I found some posts online saying you could disable it by holding the top button on the tailgate for 3s with the key on you. I tried this to no effect, there's no feedback from the car and the tailgate still opens. Is there any tricks to disabling it?

Edit: the quick start booklet that comes with the truck says hold 3s to disable. The owners manual says 7s. That's where the confusion started.

 

Thanks

Edit: Dealer got the sensors for me.. They mentioned that none of their trucks with that line item had the sensors in them, so something is failing along the way. Sucks for the buyers that don't catch it.

The tailgate block is explained in the owners manual. Basically you need the key fob in hand and hold the top button for 7 seconds, tail lights flash when successful.

 

4 TPMS sensors should be in the vehicle somewhere unless dealer screwed up and removed them,

Sounds like you got a great deal. Did you have a trade in?

[redwngr]

Congrats!

Lots of nice goodies on that truck.

 

 

I also think the $50 entry in the option list is for sensors that were ordered with that truck. 

Might be i glovebox, console or one of the rear seatback storage spots. 

Did you find the 'funnel' that is needed to use a portable fuel can to add fuel using the 'capless' system?

Lots of people by LTZ but never tow, or tow but can't be bothered to install the sensors.

ah, I read 3 seconds somewhere. Will try again. I checked all compartments, didn't see the TPMS sensors anywhere.

I couldn't find those sensors anywhere. I did see the funnel in the glovebox though.

I'd look in the center console or under the rear seat for the TPM sensors.  Should be 4?  Unless GM got cheap and only gives 2 now.

Just heard back from the sales man, according to him, TPMS sensors aren't included. That's annoying.

His message:

"It’s a monitoring system in the vehicle. It doesn’t physically come with TPS sensors. The truck is prepped with the monitoring system so you don’t have to get any aftermarket systems to program the TPS sensors.

Once the trailer is connected, there’s a way to program your trailer TPS sensors to the vehicle."

 

I did figure out the tailgate disable thing. It is indeed 7 seconds to disable it. I checked my owners manual and there is no section on the tailgate at all.

He's lying. The $50 option IS the sensors.

 

[redwngr]

Lots of sales types get stuff like this wrong.

 

The monitoring is standard on 2024 LTZ.

$50 is the add-on cost if sensors are desired.

ugh, just realized I wasn't looking at the owners manual, but rather the "essential operating and safety information" booklet. My truck did not come with an owners manual which I guess is another thing I need to request from the dealership.

Thanks for providing this, going to go back to the salesman with this info.

Printed full manuals are no longer provided from GM.  This started 2023 and has pretty much spread to the whole lineup.  If you want a print one its on your $$ unless your dealer is willing to eat the cost for one.  

 

The link Jay P posted is the easiest source.  The manual is also located in the MyChevrolet app on your phone (if you installed it) and in your radio in the MyChevrolet app.

As others mentioned, your truck was ordered with the sensors (the $50 charge) and they should have been in there somewhere.  Option code PTT should be on your build sheet.  Sensor should have been in one of the two gloveboxes, under the back seat, center console, somewhere.  

 

My guess if they aren't there?  Toolbox of the tech who did the PDI or GM forgot them while it was rolling down the assembly line.  Either way, if not there, dealer owes you 4 trailer TPM sensors if they aren't with the truck as it was ordered.
