will there be a Glove Box light for 2027? Has any designer / Engineer actually sat in the trucks in total darkness with only the interior light on? Hope so. Cause it is very clear they did not for the last generation. (2022.5 - 2026) Those years are so dark inside. 

 

 

There hasn't been a glovebox light for like 30 years.  Do you really think they'd add one now?

On the bright side, there is FINALLY sunglasses storage.

Where did you see that?  Every review I've seen (granted, only 2 so far) has not mentioned it.

I had meeting wit the Chevy meeting yesterday morning prior to the launch of the 2027 models.

Where is the SLT? That is a popular trim!

 

GMC has been revising their trim level names over the past several years. Sierra Pro has taken over the Work Truck/SL trim name; Elevation has replaced the SLE (and with the Premium upgrade, SLT) in the SUV lineup of late; AT4/AT4 Ultimate and Denali/Denali Ultimate have been the top of the line in off road luxury and on-road luxury respectively for the full-size pickups and SUVs. 

 

SL, SLE, SLT nomenclatures are gone in the Sierra truck line. Mark my words.

Is it though?  Like LTZ, not a high take rate.  Current Sierra has AT4, Denali and Elevation as its main bread winners.  Each trim accounting for 25-35% of sales for Sierra.  SLT makes up about 10-15% at best.     

 

Like others have predicted here for GMC, it will be:

 

- Pro (equal to WT Chevy)

 

- Elevation (replaces SLE and SLT)

 

- AT4 (and X)

 

- Denali (and Ultimate).

So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?

 

Here are the official ones:

 

  • Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use.
  • Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling.
  • Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget.
  • Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD.
  • Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options.
  • ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV).
  • High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen.

As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!

 

Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package.

Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.  

 

I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.

 

I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.

I really like the look of the new truck.  I have a 2024 Sierra now and will keep it, but I'm jealous that the shifter is back where it should be... on the column!  The goofy shifter in the console is one of the few things I hate about my truck.

I like the console shifter. I like resting my hand on it while I drive.

But having that space for more storage is a valid alternative, and I can see why people don't like them.

 

My plan is to get a new AT4 next summer to replace my 2024 unless there are major problems with the new models (especially the engines).

Yes i would like to buy a Silverado Silverado please.

 

Then I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers..... Did GM hire Jimmy Two Times or something to help rename their line????

Car and Driver is reporting wireless CarPlay WILL remain, and they posted several additional photos, including a left knee shot, but the only hard buttons there are e-brake, auto start stop, tailgate and cargo light.  Also definitely looks like High Country and ZR2 get micro fiber on the center of the console lid and the ZR2 possibly also on the seats.

 

I'm really disappointed there is no headlight switch. I use that all the time when I'm working on the farm at night. I'm just not a fan of where trucks are going. Maybe the W/T or Custom will keep it.

Same… have been used to reaching in the door or window and using the light switch for years.  On the glass center screen makes zero sense ergonomically but I can only assume some young engineer or accountant justified it by saying they’re automatic and no one uses the switch.

I'm guessing moving the headlight switch to virtual was for cost savings. The headlights are already controlled via the canbus so why not eliminate the need to manufacture a switch and take up real estate.

 

I prefer a physical switch but I also realize I don't actually use it 99% of the time.

 

The 1% of the time I do want it, I'm guessing it's a pain to turn the lights on. Probably 1-2 screens deep in the infotainment just like in the newer Colorados.

Just about every truck I see around town is an SLT or LTZ.

I'd much rather them add back the foot well lights before the dang glovebox one. In the 2 1/2 years I've had my truck. I'd say the glovebox has been open about 10 times.

"I see around town"

 

That's a small dot in the total picture.  They are popular in YOUR town.  

 

They aren't popular where it counts.  Sales data.

    • Thanks JR that would be great if you could do that !!! Do you have a link to where this was discussed before ? I cant seem to find it  Thank You Again !
    • Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning. 
    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
    • On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
    • 2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!
