GM is improving in this decade. Since the 80s their interiors have a poor reception from consumers. After seeing this latest model they're improving build quality and materials. The big change with this interior is there's way less hard touch plastics and more soft touches around the vehicle. GM did a very well job with this truck.

[@atg1338]

Wrong

[@sunchaser999]

There’s still a ton of hard plastics but much better than it used to be.

[@SeanAlegator]

@sunchaser999 yeah. Despite all changes with door panel and front dash materials, the seats are like sitting on rocks.

[@SeanAlegator]

@atg1338 wdym? GM interiors have been garbage for 4 decades. Now in this decade they've started to improve build quality and materials. Only thing they haven't changed are the seats. Besides that they've done a good job with this truck.

[@atg1338]

@@SeanAlegator they all have been the same for decades. Chevy had better interiors in the 80s 90s and 2000s over dodge and ford. They all have to much plastics and are similar. You sound like a gm hating lil boy

[@Chas1160]

A great review Joe, as usual. Glad Chevy is stepping it up with infotainment screens. The updated style looks very good. Finally, the inside is updated. Like the gear changes on the steering column. We are empty nesters and don’t need such a large vehicle. Do a lot of in town driving. These large boxes hard to park and maneuver in crowded traffic areas. My Santa Fe SUV so easy to maneuver and park. I am spoiled with its maneuverability. Yeah, it’s smaller but adequate for our needs. At gas prices at $5.00 per gallon, one must either be prudent or rich to drive these large vehicles especially around town. They are pros and cons, good job Chevy.

[@Nativeindi123]

I feel like Chevy finally caught up on the infotainment. When the complete redesign came out I was like ok they did a lot on the infotainment but felt it wasn’t enough. Now they got it to where it needs to be.

[@benv1515]

Agreed, I have been close to pulling the trigger on an upgrade from our 2013 Suburban 2500 but couldn’t get past the pyramid protrusion navigation system which was forcing me to consider a Denali. With this redesign the Chevrolet and Yukon LT trims are back as an option for my family!

Pretty much guaranteed on the GMC, on a recent test drive sales guy said they’d already been invited to preview it and get some info on it, he obviously didn’t (couldn’t) share details but with this Chevrolet drop it seems like 2024 MY is likely more of a short-run half MY and 2025 MY refresh will start being produced mid 2024. They have to expect this improved interior will push patient buyers to wait for 2025 MY availability.
