Do You Like The Sle/lt Or Slt/ltz Interior?

I personally like the SLE/LT interior better. To me, it looks more like a "truck" interior... The SLT/LTZ interior looks more like a SUV interior, and reminds me to much of a Tahoe and Yukon.

 

Yes, the LTZ interior may be more upscale and luxurious, but there is really nothing that wrong with the SLE interior except the door handles.... they are very cheap looking... :thumbs:

 

So what do you think? Which one do you prefer for a truck? :thumbs:

Which ever one has the split bench with the center jumpseat. I hate big giant consoles in anything, let alone something that's big enough to have a bench seat in the front.

I agree, I prefer the interior with the 40/20/40 seat. I just got my 2009 a few weeks back now. I actually looked hard to find one with the 6.0 and that combination. The majority had the console along with the leather seating. I have nothing against the leather or the console I just prefered the 40/20/40 seat.

 

I also didnt see paying for bose and a few other things that get combined with them when you walk the lots looking for a truck.

 

I am extremely pleased with the bench seat I have floor space back and I can flip the armrest up and my dog can get in and out on my side of the truck now.

Wich one has the better cup holders that are easier to get to?

 

I like the 60/40 seat in my truck because I can get 6 people in it if needed but the cup holders are in a crappy location.

I like them both. In my opinion GM has nailed the interior on their trucks (and have had the best interior for quite some time). With the two interiors they have something for everyone.

 

I personally wanted the LTZ interior. I like it for how I use my truck.

The new 40/20/40 seats have three cupholders in the armrest--perfect location!

I do agree that Gm's interiors are the best by far, but as having something for everyone I'd say no. I orderd a 1500 SLT, and I could not get the 60/40 split bench as an option. I want leather and I want the features of the SLT so buckets it is (I also wanted a 6'6" box on the crew cab or the 5.3/ 6 speed in the extended cab and Carbon Black Mettallic would have been nice with the All Terrain Package). Check out the new Dodge 1500 interior if you want to see something hideous.

I prefer that my interior look like a truck, not the soccer-mom SUV interior. The jump seat console holds more and is more convenient for an actual armrest than the center console. And by the way, wood grain dashes suck! Looks like my old man's 1977 Ford LTD station wagon.

when i was shopping i preferred the pure truck interior, but over time my preference has shifted to the luxury interior. they look so nice. doesn't really matter, SLT/LTZ trucks were going for more than i was willing to pay.

I like my truck interior as opposed to the SUV interior. I drove my Aunt's Tahoe a couple days last week when I was in OK and I thought the radio and HVAC were too low and much harder to reach. Also, not a fan of wood trim. Truck dash has cubbies and the the bench seat with three huge cup holders and two decently large bins, one locking and two glove boxes. When driving on the highway I like resting my elbow on my right knee, which wouldn't be possible with a console cause it'd get in the way. I wish you could get the truck interior in the SUVs.

SLE for me, for the 40/20/40 seat. GM should offer this seat for all trim levels, and put a shoulder strap/head rest on there too. It's not so much the extra seat position (since it's hard as a rock), but the open floorboard.

 

While I'm thinking about it... there should be a useful headrest at all seating positions in crew cabs. What's with the rear head rests that want to fall down when you put your head against them? I wouldn't want monster headrests everywhere, just something that slides down "even with the seat top" when collapsed, but that adjusts-up/"locks" for an adult.

The only reason I don't like the SLT/LTZ interior as much is that the center console is a pain when a **male driver is going to receive oral sex from a willing female occupant, the center console will be an obstruction.**

 

**mature and professional tone used when typing :D

 

And yes I know that it is still possible even with a center console. They are still a pain in the ass though. I know from experience when I had my 2005 Lariat Supercrew.

 

Other than that I love the SLT/LTZ interior. I agree with Jeff the "truck" interior kind of looks cheap.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
