2019 1/2 ton Chevy. It rode better than the Dodges we drove. White plain 4 door pickup. I'm gonna pickup up some beauty rings and maybe some stripes for it. We looked at used, and with the rebates this weekend it was cheaper than most of the used ones. 5.3-- 6 speed auto. Old gal can get in this one as it set, but their gonna install runningboards and undercoat it next week. I forgot to check the tire plys. I might have to put a set of 6 plys on the back to pull her darn toy hauler. Sure like the backup camera. Its got a whole lot of stuff built into the dash that I'll never figure out. At least They moved the battery so a guy can get it out without tearing the right fender off. That's sorta a joke. Looking for a topper and trailer towing mirrors for it.

You can connect your phone to the radio with bluetooth. Makes phone calls a lot easier while driving!

They make fender liners for the rear wheels for the chevys. I always thought they looked cheap without them. Not sure if the 19's have them std or not, but was glad i put them on mine.

I bought me some mirrors a while back, but I can't remember where. If I can find that sales receipt I'll give you a holler Tom. They were pretty cheap and good mirrors, the kind that pull in and out. Got em on my 2004 Silverado.
Congrats on the new truck!! |

You'll find a nice selection and decent prices at etrailer.com for mirrors and lots of other accessories. That's where I got the tow mirrors for our camper tow vehicle. Only downside was they told me they were USA made and when they arrived guess what...made overseas. But the quality was good. Their warehouse is in Wentzville, MO. Another good place for original and aftermarket accessories is LMC Truck in Lenexa, KS.

Roger. Thank you. I have been in contact with them. They do not have anything for a 2019. It seems GM changed the mirror design in 19. I try'd to get some 17" beauty rings for the rims thru GM today. The guy I spoke with had no idea what a beauty ring was. I guess I'll try amazon.

Can't say I'm surprised that GM changed designs. Seems manufacturers do that on a regular basis. Would think there would be someone making aftermarket towing mirrors in the near future. Imagine the factory one's are quite pricey. Sorry I wasn't able to help. Amazon is a good idea as they seem to have most anything available. Best wishes!
