The entire US towed for 3 decades with brake controllers self tapped to the panel below the steering column. Have you ever seen the inside of a truck after a 5-10 hour trip? There’s drinks and snacks everywhere and now there’s a giant plastic panel where I can put anything and has the potential for stuff to slide into the brake controller.
@@saab9251just have the PLC deactivate the break control while driving and done. This is basic machinery control logic. On the other hand, people shouldnt be such a slob eother. Respect your vehicle and just put use a trash bag.
That’s actually really smart to put the trailer brake controller right there. You can just rest your arm on the center console and control the brake, rather than having to reach around the steering wheel. I’m glad they are starting to differentiate between gmc and chevy
It's the little things that set the GMC apart from the Chevy trucks. I mean, otherwise it's only a grill that makes them different. The shape of the wheel wells and body lines make them different as well.
I mean, there are actually pretty big differences for at leas the Canyon and Colorado. I think that's where there are the most differences right now for GM Trucks, because a lot of the "high end" stuff on the Colorado actually is stock on the Canyon, like the top engine as an example.
The location of the brake controller is so much better on the center console now. Where your hand is naturally most of the time anyways. Great for emergencies.
If you need to reach for the brake controller in an emergency you arnt prepared now are you. There's no reason you should need to reach for that if you set your brakes right. Especially in a pickup ..... in a tractor trailer configuration that isn't necessarily true Much.
“This is great for people who tow regularly.” This is the same company that designed a tailgate that will smash into your receiver hitch if you leave your hitch in the receiver like 90% of truck owners do.
It’s completely irrelevant, because I can say without hesitation, ANYTHING made by GM from 2010-present day is HOT GARBAGE!!

@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.
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.
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.
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
Kinda glad i have a 22...interior still feels like a truck. Now they are just getting to the point where you'd be afraid to get dirt in them or scratch the finishes on the console.
They've been like that for over a decade. They feel cheap but are priced extremely high. And really, GM has had cheap interiors with their crappy plastics since the late 90s
@BL DontMatter I've never had a problem with them...now my Ford's and mopars...that's a different story...I'll take "cheep feeling" interiors vs blown engines and crap engineering
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)
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).
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.
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 .
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
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
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.
Can we please just have simple cars with reliable engines? No self driving nonsense, no fifth iPad screen, no extra computer for a useless feature I will use twice. Improve safety, engineering, and simplicity. You would own the market if you insisted on that.
@@traciweisenbachCITB Yeah maybe Ford and Stellantis. Two other junk brands.

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.
Did the engineering team tell you that? Or did they want to put the controller in the center console so they decided to fill the space and follow the lines by making a bigger start/stop button? 🤷🏽♂️🤔
😂😂😂 because folks prefer reliability and dependability and with dodge your pissing money away and ford you can't afford the repair bills they see more lift time the air Jordon did his entire life hence why dodge went with Allison to finally maybe give there hd trucks a reliable transmission and ford well they're still hunting for that magical unicorn
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......
Incorrect information. It has to do with the angled HVAC center console trim. Only the Sierra AT4, AT4X, and Denali have this center console. SLT and SLE trims with the full center console have the brake controller in the same spot as the Silverados.
GMC moved the trailer brake so that it’s easier to use while your right arm is on the arm rest. Anybody who trailers RV’s or boats will like this design

Did the engineering team tell you that? Or did they want to put the controller in the center console so they decided to fill the space and follow the lines by making a bigger start/stop button? 🤷🏽♂️🤔
Why anyone would ever buy a gm product is beyond me. But a sucker is born every minute.
😂😂😂 because folks prefer reliability and dependability and with dodge your pissing money away and ford you can't afford the repair bills they see more lift time the air Jordon did his entire life hence why dodge went with Allison to finally maybe give there hd trucks a reliable transmission and ford well they're still hunting for that magical unicorn
@@rooster72886 they want reliability so they buy gm? Lmaoooo are you hearing yourself?
still have no idea whats wrong with a key you stick in an ignition and turn..
The engine start/stop was studied, and over a period of 10 years, it only saves one tank worth of fuel.
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......
People with new cars are really worried about where buttons are placed at 😂
Incorrect information. It has to do with the angled HVAC center console trim. Only the Sierra AT4, AT4X, and Denali have this center console. SLT and SLE trims with the full center console have the brake controller in the same spot as the Silverados.
GMC moved the trailer brake so that it’s easier to use while your right arm is on the arm rest. Anybody who trailers RV’s or boats will like this design
We have to remember the iPhone didn’t take off until the 2nd gen. The first gen was missing so much, including 3G.
I like the new location. Rest my arm on the center console and my hand sits right on it for braking. Seems nice to me.
