A new USB port setup on the front console will feature one type-A and one type-C data port, along with an auxiliary input jack and an SD Card Reader. A second microphone will be installed on the passenger side.
In safety changes, a new HD Rear Vision Camera will now be standard on LT, Z71, and ZR2 models. A non-HD Rear Vision Camera will remain standard on Base and Work Truck models. In addition, Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist is now standard on the Z71 and available on the Work Truck and LT trims.
