Not true.

GM has made a business decision to leave the features off of ALL vehicles within particular model lines ONLY. The exact same technology that you can't have in any form on a truck (AFM) is still 100% included on the Camaro. The reason they have made the decision to drop it from the trucks is volume. Since they can't guarantee enough chips to put the feature on ALL of them, they are taking the stance of putting it on NONE of them.

I would personally be happy to ORDER a truck if I were able to have the features included. But, since GM won't let anyone have AFM/DFM and that significantly increases the overall cost of ownership of the truck as a result (due to much worse MPG), I won't be buying a truck or SUV from them in the coming year to replace my aging Silverado.
