Such a shame, still no adaptive cruise offered on the GM HD trucks, while both Ford and Ram have it available. The tech seems to be there, and it IS offered on the half-ton. So what is the problem GM???
Redesign the front already!!! By far the ugliest of the big 3…..and the ugliest yet made by GM.
While your at it…..get rid of the crud coating used on the frame. Paint it. The cruddy coating comes off and the frame starts to rust immediately
By far the best looking truck out there but the interior needs some work. Adaptive cruise control is the most useless gadget out there
i agree the crud they put on the gm frame isuseless it would be better to just paint with a good rust paint
The only thing that crud stays stuck to is your fingers and clothes, but I still love the trucks.
