dude the window tip save me from smashing a window in the short future lol. I certainly didnt know that. Just bought my 2021 custom trail boss and I love it.

The window up/down thing is not common knowledge for me. Thank you for that. Was driving me crazy.

Ordered a 21, should be here in a couple weeks.. glad I saw this video because all of that shit would have bugged me and now I know haha! Thanks for the solid video, keep grinding.

Nice rig , I have the same truck but in black . Thank you for the tips . Cheers

Newer Chevy’s have a momentary blinker function too. Give the blinker lever a half pull and blinkers activate while you hold the position. Then stop when you let go. At first I thought it kind of useless but now I see the advantage when changing lanes…2 quick blinks and then let go. Easy. My daughter just bought a new Trailblazer which has this function too so probly a standard feature now. Just installed the Boost Auto wireless phone charger in the armrest tray. Pretty easy job and great having wireless charging. You could spend the money for GM’s unit which installs in the lower console tray but folks say it’s hot, charges slow and installing is a giant pain. Anyway the Boost Auto system only works on the LT’s with the full console for now. Supposedly they are working on one for the bench seat console in the Customs.

Love the truck, couldn’t wait for my reserved custom boss and ended up with a GMC Sierra 4x4 with the 3.0 duramax, looking to get the 4 inch readylift sat and get it up to this height

Just got a 2021 Custom Trail Boss, love it too. Another option, when the audio back/forward buttons don't work with your phone playlist, you just go onto your phone settings - bluetooth settings - paired "phone name" - unselect the audio setting and reselect the audio setting (there will be options for calls, audio, contacts). This is how it works for android phones, and will fix the back/forward buttons to make them work. Hope this helps.

I got one tip. I've always used aftermarket remote start systems that allow me to remove the key and leave the vehicle running if I had to make a quick stop. You can't do that with the factory remote start system. If you leave the key in the ignition and keep the key fob on you, you can lock the truck and leave it running with the fob. I tried it with the door lock on the door. It will lock and then within a second or two it will unlock automatically you have to use the fob. Purchased a third key and keep it hidden on the frame. In case I was to lose the key fob I would have a way to get into the vehicle. I keep one of the keys in the vehicle maybe not the smartest thing but it works for me. Side note if you leave the key in the ignition the vehicle will not remote start. I just leave it in my center console so I can start the vehicle before I leave work, then I grab the key when I get in the truck and put it in the ignition. Maybe that's too much info but it's just something I figured out. Lol

I can't put my key in the ignition it's push button. I think the only way I can leave it running is have a second remote on me or the horn yells at me!

Have the same stereo as you but I put an Amp and 10" shallow mount woofer under the rear seat. I don't have it set up for crazy bass but it's 100% better bass. Super easy to run all wires, gm certainly made it easy with the channels and easy access to run under carpets.

I'm trying to find a Front Receiver for my Red Custom 2021 Trail Boss. I ordered and received a Draw-Tite Front Receiver, but it doesn't fit. It may be that there isn't one that fits the 2021 model year TB, even though previous years would fit. My plan is to Cut and Re-weld the one I have to make it fit. The OpenRoad 9500 winch is a great value in a winch for these trucks, and I made a power cable to run to the rear Receiver using 2 ga welding cable.

@@limitedslipautomotive Yes! I cut the Draw-Tite Front Receiver to make it fit, and a neighbor welded it back together. Now it fits inside the frame, not outside. And the Receiver is 14 inches from the ground-- much higher than any Front Receiver available. And those don't fit anyway. I made drawings of the Mod and I'll send it to the dealer where I bought the Draw-Tite part, but I'm not optimistic that they will develop a new one for 2021 Trail Boss trucks. The dealer is not very happy that I cut up & re-welded a hitch, either. Also, there is a rather long discussion thread of this project at TrailBoss.ORG where I detail every step: "Installing a Winch on a Trail Boss."

Can you switch to tow mode on the fly ? And how about sports mode and 4wd? Or do you have to be in complete stop Tia

@limitedslipautomotive

3 жыл бұрын

You can switch driving modes on the fly, as it simply changes the transmission programming. As for 4WD, these trucks have synchros in the transfer case that allows you to engage 4wd while driving below 60mph.

@FastSS02

3 жыл бұрын

Except for 4wd low. You have to have the transmission in neutral and moving below 5mph I believe. Tow/haul just changes shift points/firmness. Customs don't have drive modes like the LTs do. Z71s have an actual 4 low instead of terrain modes non Z71 4x4s have.

I've got almost 3,000k on my 2021 Trail Boss custom. Besides removing the badging on the tailgate the day I brought it home. I also move the fuse to make it a switched power source.

Next 2in SST Ready Lift kit and XD Outbreak 20x9 0mm offset. Think I'm going to go with 295/65-20. Which should be equivalent to a 35.1 inch tire. I don't get off-road tire sizing.

@@limitedslipautomotive so I'm used to traditional tire sizing where the first three digit number is the tire width from sidewall to sidewall. Second number is sidewall height and third number is rim size. I guess with off-road tires the first number is tire height from top to bottom. The second number is side wall height in millimeters I could be wrong, and the third number is rim size. Basically a 295/65- 20 is a 35.1 off-road tire. My factory tires are a 275/65-18.
