Hello to all! As a long-time owner of Tahoe's, I finally went with a 2023 Yukon Denali for something different. I was very surprised to find there were no front A-Pillar trim pieces with assist handles, especially in a top-of-the-line vehicle. My 2020 Tahoe Premier Plus had them. I'm just wondering why GM dropped them and if there was some alternative piece I could replace them with.

Regarding the assist handles, I even contacted GM and received no help. I later learned from a buddy whose daughter rented a 2023 Yukon XL SLT for a trip and that one had a passenger handle (see pics), wierd! The only thing I can think of is maybe the SLT doesn't have the Bose System with the tweeters in the A-Pillar?

Yea, our 2022 Denali was lacking those grab handles, sure wish they were there because they are a big help. Another one of those "why not" features that leave you wondering, no light in the glovebox! Does your 2023 have one?

You know, that's a great point! I have been without a light in the glovebox so long I've forgotten about them! No, it doesn't.

Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

That's a very good question. Does not make sense to remove them. My 07 has (had before I ripped it out) a Bose system with the pillar speakers, but still has the grab handle.

Yes, I've had several Tahoes with both grab handles and speakers in the pillar trim also.
