GMC's trailer brake control location makes more sense in the center console I think. Easier to find and reach when needed. It also means your arm doesn't need to leave the center console storage lid either. Overall, it's a more convenient location, especially for those that tow regularly.

@@Durataur Understandable. That's my opinion, you have yours. Some trucks have the trailer brake controls posistioned in the lower dash area mixed in with other switches and knobs, or worse, tucked away behind the steering wheel somewhere. Not always the most easily accessible locations for trailer brake controls, especially in scenarios where they're in urgent need. With the center console location, the trailer brake controls are right there out in the open looking at you. Can't mistake them for anything else either. As for the wasted space comment, there's still two cup holders and storage tray. Plus, if it's a 1/2 ton truck, you'll also have the electronic console shifter as well. So having the trailer brake controls there as well isn't going to make much of a difference. Many others out there would agree with me on the location, I know I'm not the only one. Everyone's different though. Which is completely fine.

For people who actually tow, you’ll know it’s 10x easier and more comfortable to reach the trailer breaking controls from there!!… good job GMC 👌🏾

How do you operate that start button again?

Not gonna lie this actually makes more sense. I'm 06 rich as fuck and that's where I put my trailer brake controls do a clean ass setup and be gucci. I hate gm don't get me wrong but this is 1 thing that makes sense for anyone that wants to be comfortable while applying trailer brakes. So basically anyone towing a trailer. At all.

How often do y’all mess with the gain setting on the trailer brakes?

We need to bring back the '90s version of the word "gay" So that we can accurately describe many of the new car features.

The closest button to your hand is one you’ll never use. Makes perfect sense GM. Why couldn’t it go on the left side of the dash, out of the way where the trailer brake should be?

Where is the gear shifter? I have a 23 1500 AT4 and mine is next to the trailer brake.

How does the trailer brake control work? I have never seen that.

If they say why? why? tell‘em that it’s GM nature

Aside from the brake controls being easier to use in code console location, seems to me a good idea for something you reach for in sudden or emergency situations not to be right next to the button that turns off the truck.

I could see the Chrvy get turned off if the driver missed the lever for the trailer brake

It's better there

I operate a 2021 Ford f450 for hauling. I do day, sometimes when needing to pull that trailer brake within an instant. This location definitely seems really convenient than to have to extend your right arm out to reach the trailer control.. Good job Gm

Ben, you are literally making crap up. GM’s engineering purposefully put the brake controller there. It makes more sense because that where your arm regularly rests. The start/stop button in the Sierra is very luxurious it’s actually real metal and these types of touches are important to GMC buyers that will not purchase a Chevy solely for the cheaper price. I think the only real issue here is a Ford and RAM guy trying to speak on *gm* business and he unfortunately doesn’t know what he’s talking about. 🤷🏾‍♂️

People with new cars are really worried about where buttons are placed at 😂

So you're pointing out that one brand of truck has different controls than another brand of truck? Wow, that's some hard-hitting automotive journalism there.

I prefer the manual feel of keys

We have to remember the iPhone didn’t take off until the 2nd gen. The first gen was missing so much, including 3G.

Looks similar in shape to Volkswagen’s electronic parking brake switch. Pull to engage, press to release. Also near the center console.

GM no longer uses flat board designing across all their brands like they used to... each company designs their own interiors and exteriors. Ever wondered why a 2023 escalade has no design similarity to a Tahoe or or Suburban like their 2013 counterparts did. Nothing in GM is has a similarity across platforms besides the actual platforms they ride on. Give them a break

So GMC made it better.

this dudes content is solely based on bitching about stuff that no one else would bitch about

The Stop/Start button looks amazing and the trailer brake controller is in an super convenient spot! Nice try though.

Do we know that GMC ‘was forced’ to move it to the center console because of the button? I think it’s more likely the giant start button is to fill in the blank space left after GMC deliberately moved the break controller to the center console in response to customer feedback (and having a bit more budget than the corresponding Chevy).

Don't worry. No matter where it's put it will malfunction. It is after all a GM product.

No the trailer brake controller is there for a reason and it’s not that one. If your hauling a decent sized trailer you want to be able to grab that as fast as possible in the case of a emergency. Gm actually came out with a video explaining exactly why it’s there

They figured that out.. but can't figure out the frame rust issue

Actually this set up is only in the AT4 and Denali models. SLE SLT models have the small round button

How does that wreak havoc?

The engine start/stop was studied, and over a period of 10 years, it only saves one tank worth of fuel.

Smart on GMCs part. People will always buy bigger buttons

I have a 2021 at4 hd and tow a big cargo trailer daily. Never once have I wanted the controller closer. Like others said it takes up valuable space in the center console that could be used for storage. The new location of the brake controller makes even less sense when you realized 80% of heavy duty truck drivers rarely even tow. These high end trims are just a status symbol.

You sit back in your seat. If you're in a emergency and have to use the trailer break it is in arms reach without leaning forward better location overall.

Prefer the much larger start button that you will use every time you get in the truck... And there is nothing wrong with that location for trailer brake controls.

What’s “weird” is calling that thing, “a truck”

Are they upset that they finally have to create more BRAND DIFFERENTIATION

That trailer brake being basically at arms reach like that is way easier..... if you actually use it i guess it's less intrusive? (assuming your arm doesn't touch it then that would be annoying)

I’m pretty sure they knew what they were doing, it makes much more sense the way it is.

That's not the only problem with that design. If you reach down to adjust the HVAC system without taking your eyes off the road (like you should) then you may accidentally hit that stop/start button. I hope it is designed so that it only responds to commands while the car is in Park or that could be dangerous.

They moved it. So what!!

If this is about an HD model like a 2500 or a 3500 it is a great thing that they moved it closer to the driver into a spot where the hand will be very comfortable operating it without adjusting the drivers position. Now, without proper knowledge of the ergonomics of the new GMC sierra and Chevy silverado, it is better to have it there in my opinion. But if you have a 1500 version of the truck, then it makes you loose valuable space in the center console for a feature most owners don't use more than 2 to 4 times per year. So, If you tow a lot, it is nice, if you don't...better things could be done

Pretty sure they did that purposely... if you tow, you know it's annoying to have to reach forward for the trailer brakes...

This interior looks like mcdonalds designed it to be thrown away after 1 use

GM’s interiors have always been more confusing and over complicated than they need to be. Ford interiors are not only nicer, but also easier to navigate .

As someone who never tows, in terms of design it looks like crap BUT having it near arm rest is genius. Easier reach while being 10x more comfortable

My 2023 Sierra doesn’t have that it’s the circle one still

Wouldn't have had that silly problem if that was a Ford!

how is that whack?

Is this why the trucks are 30% overpriced ???

You tellin me it's not a bottle opener or automatic butt scratcher button?

@BenHardyCars , I think you need to do alot more research on what you are going to be talking about in your videos before you make/post them. This is only the case in 2024 GMC Sierra 1500, 2500 and 3500 trims: AT4, AT4X, Denali, and Denali Ultimate. Not “Every new Sierra”. You are giving false information not only in this video but MANY of your videos. For some people that don’t know alot about vehicles this is an issue. For someone like me that pays attention and looks for every detail in a vehicle it is not. Food for thought.

The only gmc trucks with that start button are the higher level trims. If you get a elevation etc they have the circular start button.

Can we just have a god dang hard key back, Jesus...

Simple solution: Buy a Toyota

The button looks similar to a C8 corvette key

only on AT4 and above models, the SLT and lower models have the same design as the Chevies

Cross compatible components used to be a thing. But no, we have to waste more plastic by designing something completely different for no reason other than....this looks different......
