A[[ the improvements look great. The overlays look like they came from the factory.

For the tint I suggest to do a 70% ceramic tint for the windshield & a 50% ceramic for the front driver/passenger windows
This suggestion is simply bc you mentioned you want the heat protection
On my truck I went with 10% rear windows & 30% front windows & windshield it was extremely dark during the day and at night I didn’t notice a difference
What I did notice compared to my other vehicles, is that I didn’t have to use the ac on full blast I always keep it at the lowest setting and I’m comfortable with that and with passengers in the truck I don’t need to go more than two turns on the settings knob to have everyone feel comfortable as well
The only downside is that with my 2.7 gmc at roughly 92k I had a misfire issue and the dealership diagnosed it with needing a new engine bc there was internals that broke
Which is a mystery to me bc I bought it brand new and I would change the engine oil every 5k
Nonetheless, I did get the extended warranty so they paid for the bill

What towing package do these elevation’s come with? And do they come with a intergraded electronic trailer brake controller? It does not seem to be clear on GMC website, lol.

[@ridgereviews]

Thanks for the note. Less of a “package” and really just a tow hitch and plugs for brake lights, etc. There is a Max Trailering package which includes the brake controller. Hope that helps. Have a great week.

[@eyolfson7792]

@@ridgereviews that’s crazy to me that GM would not just add the trailer brake controller? Doesn’t seem like a big expense or upgrade to just not include that. Thanks for the info!

[@ericj810]

Brake controller is all pre wired and easy to install. Plug and play under dash next to brake module box. The 2.7 chevy still my fav engine right now.

Whats the website where you got the TURBOMAX badge?

[@ridgereviews]

Thanks for the note. Just noticed I forgot to post that. You can order the badges at ikonicbadges.com/
Have a great week!
