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.
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.
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
Nice truck. On my 21 Trailboss ,urs to,u can push the traction control button to turn it off then hold it down again to completely shut it off. Just thought i would add that.
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.
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.
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 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!
Bro have you covered the whole screen turn off mid drive problem? I'm sure you've talked about it before seems like a huge problem but I figured I'd ask! Keep it up man!
Go tell them you are having trouble with the apple car play. Add music intermittently skipping and digitizing to the issues you’re currently having when you tell them about it. There is a firmware update for CarPlay.
Good job on all your videos man, I really enjoy them. After waiting for 2 months I finally got my costom 6.2 trailboss. You put the ready lift +2 lift kit in your truck. I'm just curious what you think about it after its been in your truck for awhile. Ride quality ect.....? Thanks
Ride quality didn’t change at all, and so far everything is holding up perfectly. I haven’t used auto 4 in it so I can’t speak to that “problem”, but all other 4wd modes work perfectly. I’ll make an update video on the entire lift.
Is it need since it comes with a 2" lift kit already? I'm just curious. I'm about ready to go buy a trail boss. I really wanted a LT simply for the Led headlights and dual heater controls. But I guess I could upgrade to LED headlights at least and save a lot of money on the custom.
@@dalestackhouse8878 From the factory it’s an extremely capable truck! I lifted mine just to fit bigger and wider tires, but it’s definitely not necessary. Saw your comment about the LED’s… you can upgrade if you’d like. As for dual climate, my truck my rules, the wife can deal with it ;)
Love the vids man….my 2021 custom just got put in the shop for a bent push rod with only 1400 miles on her 😢bought my truck the same time you bought yours….still gonna keep her tho!
Covid has made companies with supply issues, put cheap parts in there product, just to keep inventory moving. I've seen a few videos about those push rods..
@@chriss499 yea I’ve been researching for months…GM said anything for sept 2020 and March 2021 had a bad batch sent out. Dealer is replacing the whole top end…to bad I couldn’t get them to swap it with a LS!
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."
Awesome video bro. I recently purchased my vehicle last Friday and I’m having that radio issue.. we called on star at the dealership and I thought they had activated my stuff but I guess not cause every time I set my radio, when I turn it off then on it resets it. Pretty annoying but awesome damn truck I love it!
It's an Escort Redline EX. It's getting to be a little dated at this point but it has paid for itself numerous times. I also like the GPS speedometer built in.
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.
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 just found out mine does apple car play but I have to have it plugged in (dumb) is there a way to do it without it being plugged in? I have tried different things and I give up.
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. I've done floor liners under seat storage muffler and flapper delete factory rear fender liners LED conversion on all the halogen lighting undercover ultra flex tonneau cover running boards burgundy faux leather seat covers. 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. This is my first four-wheel drive vehicle so I'm learning as I go.
@@k.innesxd5627 lol All good. Was thinking that you were going retro or something haha. Did you change housings for headlights or swap out bulbs? And how is the paint with the mud flaps gone? I already have pretty serious paint chips from rocks at 5k miles.
@@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. Which are equivalent to a 31 and a half. If my math is right. LOL
@@ronaldcalvird8116 on settings menu 2 things will come up, do the full reset...the one that looks scary. You'll lose presets but you can redo them. It's the only way to save the eq settings.
@@limitedslipautomotive yeah man if you wouldn’t mind I would appreciate it. I’ve seen where you have to do factory reset but I don’t want to do that just yet.
The up and down stoppage on the window! Had to call a bud and tell him! And did the fuse thing. Might want elaborate on the fuse panel removal and replacing! Nice video!
It's a software issue. Chevrolet has a TSB out on it. Engineering is aware but they haven't released an update yet. Using the onstar button or resetting back to factory defaults won't fix it. We just have to wait. If you're software version ends in 118, you'll have to wait until GM releases the update for your infotainment system.
The factory reset fixed it for me. I didn't do the OnStar thing until about a week before the 30 day trial expired. You have to do the system reset and not just audio reset. No issues with mine now for over a month.
