Does it plug into a USB port? 12v? 110v?

USB in the center compartment. That is non slip rubber on top. Charges through it great.

Going to start looking into getting a denali or escalade. Glad I waited for the update. These changes should have been available from launch.

This.

This is almost as bad and the first LTZ NBS trucks..... and the "classic" carryovers selling alongside a new design.

Current mirrors are fine. Even on my denaliHD they are more than enough.

Are you guys towing anything?

I've towed our boat and didn't have any problems with the mirrors.

Not constantly. But I've towed before with it.

I may be crazy, but I think I lost 25% field of view behind the boat to the smaller design.

That being said, a small gripe in a ton of great stuff.

8-speeds should replace all 6-speeds in 5.3L V8s by approximately 2nd quarter 2015. The 6-speed should be permanently discontinued at that time according to the Toledo Powertrain Assembly Plant article where both of these units are built.

BTW, the new 2015.5 Platinum Escalades debuting in 90 days has new larger mirrors. Perhaps this design may trickle down to other models?

Too many soccer moms backing over toys in the driveway. Lol

The 6 speed's programming is absolutely horrible. Slow shifts, and a huge shift delay when flooring it.
I can only hope that GM allows a more aggressive shifting program with the 8.

If the 8 speed proves to be a better shifting unit in my wife's Denali, my 6 speed Silverado will be gone by next spring for a new 8 speed.
