#1903 of 18277 Hitch wiring question by rktcyntst Jul 28, 2001 (7:22 pm)
I'm looking at a Bravada and was wondering if the "7 wire harness" for the trailer/hitch meant that the vehicle was only pre-wired and needs to be fitted with an adapter, or if was already fitted with the "plug" ready for use. Thanks.

It is ready to go, I have one too, all I did was to get a 7 to 4 adapter for the trailer and that was it. By the way, I don't even know that my Bass boat is behind, just make sure to not to tow till you 1st break it in for 500 mile, then another 500 in 3ed gear.

I think these are very interesting and great vehicles but haven't had the chance to drive one yet. I'm looking at every aspect including colors, and the following question came up. What color is the interior of the following picture? The exterior is pewter metallic but what color is the inside?

#1907 of 18277 Steering Wheel Controls by couimet Jul 29, 2001 (7:17 am)
Minor detail but one of the things that bugs me on the SLT's Steering Wheel Controls is the addition of Driver Information and Climate Control buttons but the absence of Cruise Control buttons.   Steering Wheel Driver Info is overkill. So is Steering Wheel Climate Control for an Auto Climate Control System!   I've always hated that GM multi function stick where Cruise Control is hidden and confused with wiper/washer controls and signals.
#1910 of 18277 1805 - wheel switch by jht Jul 30, 2001 (4:30 am)
My Bravada has the single CD player - on it, the wheel button does cycle tracks. There may be a setting you can change in the DIC or on the stereo itself to let it cycle tracks with the wheel button instead of discs.
#1911 of 18277 For mmateyak: RE: Late Model SUVs by bryancos Jul 30, 2001 (6:01 am)
I traded in a '99 Jeep Grand Cherokee for my '02 GMC Envoy on an early lease termination offer from a dealership an hour away from me in Denver. The Jeep was a nice vehicle, rugged and well-built, had a nice body style, good interior, etc. But it'd didn't have the power, room, or towing capacity of the Envoy. I leased a similarly equippled Envoy SLE (minus a power moonroof that my Jeep had, along w/ the brushguard, lighting I had installed)... and when all was said and done, my payments came out to be roughly .75 cents more than what I was paying on my 2.5yr old leased Grand Cherokee... I have friends who have Durangos, Blazers and Exploders... all of which are popular, capable vehicles -- and all have had their share of minor problems. So it really just depends on what vehicle you like personally, and which fits into your insurance budget. (be sure to do your homework insurance wise too) I'd go out on some of the other forums here and ask the owners what they think of their cars and go from there...
#1912 of 18277 Washer/Wiper Cruise Control Multi function stick by vaguy Jul 30, 2001 (6:53 am)
Just wondering if the multi function stick is supposed to illumunate when the headlights are on. Mine doesn't and I find it difficult to see at night. Not sure if this is a problem or that was the way it was designed. Other Envoy owners please let me know.
