A few things chevys got right
My dad got a new 2500 Duramax Custom, and I took note of a few things GM is doing good. Blind spot, lane keep, cross traffic alert is all on his custom, so is power fold mirrors. Ford locks you out of all that until you get my trim (XLT Premium Package) which is significantly more expensive than the Custom Chevy trim. Custom is really most comparable with XL STX, and you can’t get most of that on STX. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe there is any way to option BLIS or Power-Fold mirrors on an STX.
Besides that yes the Chevy is a more basic truck, my Ford has a full digital led gauge cluster and much larger screen with heated seats and soft touch stitched upper doors etc, but the Chevy has a lot on the custom that would be nice for STX guys to be able to option. Side note: the Chevys doors feel extremely cheap and light, the sounds they make when they close is very tinny and does not inspire confidence like the Ford. My Ford doors feel about double as heavy as the Silverado HD and close much more ‘solid’. That was big stand out. Those doors feel so light it seems a gust of wind would rip them clean off the cab.
