Dude - Great Video! I bought my 2020 Silverado online and would never have dreamed that the console wouldn't have opened! That's like buying a vehicle in 2020 without a cupholder!! Your video convinced me I could install it myself, and I did. Thanks!!

Dude, you absolutely rule. Thank you so much for making this video

This absolutely helped out with my installation. Still can’t believe this wasn’t a standard feature but because of this video I ordered the armrest with storage and did it myself. My original GM part didn’t come with instructions of course but this video took me step by step. This little extra storage makes a huge difference! Thank you sir!

I’m about to walk outside and do this right now. I’ve watched this video (and your others) about 5 or 6 times now. Really great tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to make this! You have a new subscriber 👍

I just replaced my center console in my 2019 Silervado, and I used this video as a perfect guide. It would have taken me much longer without this video. Thank you

Finally!! I will be doing this next. Appreciate you, sir!

Thank you for all the tips. Just did the same swap on 2020 Custom Trail Boss. One of the best upgrades of done yet

Saving this for when I decide to do upgrades at the end of next year.

I am SOOO HAPPY that i’ve just found this Video of yours.. Literally ordered mine immediately after having watched this LOL.. Thank U for posting this!!

AMAZING!!! Imay keep my 2020 Trail Boss after watching this. Thank you.

hell yeah! got my new console in this past weekend. gonna put it together this weekend when im off work. thanks for the video! definitely gonna use it as a guide :)

Agreed, you can skip many of the steps, if you are installing the entire jump seat. You only need to remove the armrest hinge finish cover if you are only replacing the top portion which is the arm rest.

I installed those center consoles on the assembly line. Pain in the ass especially connecting the wires when they had different options

I am sure for 2021 model Chevy will probably include the center storage bin on the base model WT. Too many people complain of not having one. I got an LT model, so it did come with it. It also came with a USB-C port besides the standard USB.

Great video! I've been hoping someone would come up with a way to integrate a wireless cell phone charger into the armrest where the rubber bottom cubby is since you lose that option when you go from the bucket seats center console trucks to the bench like ours. Thanks again.

You weren’t lying about spending another $10K for the LT edition but I’m happy with my custom trail boss... cool vid by the way!

The storage console option appears to be a $20 option on my sticker. Glad my truck came that way off the lot.

I just found out the 2021 custom trailboss comes with center storage so the part number for the 2021 model can be used now and would be alot less Hassel when ordering through your local dealer

The metal clips you describe are actually called "Spring Clips". I have always reinstalled the "Spring Clips" that were left behind in the frames, back onto the Plastic molding, then reinstall that molding when ready. When reinstalling the trim, do NOT give the trim a hard smack, constant pressure as you guide the trim with the Spring Clip back onto the frame is the winning choice. When original removal of the trim, you will see where the "Spring Clip" has small teeth that grip onto the Trim elongated pieces that hold them trim to the frame. Patience pays off, plastic is not always forgiving and breaks. Nylon Trim Tool Set is always recommended for starting trim removal. Experience of 20 years in Molding and trim removal on Public Safety Emergency vehicles and at times learning from failures. Enjoy the process, all looks good.

Thank you this video made the swap very easy .

Just did conversion to my 2020 Silverado WT. Went in flawless. Should have been there from factory.

Bro! Thanks for making this video! It’s extremely annoying not to have space in my Sierra. How much did it cost you to get the replacement?

Thanks, for sharing your time and knowledge.

👍🏼👍🏼 Great how to video for someone thinking of swapping out their center console. I did this conversion a year ago when I first got my Trailboss and the one step that I thought was the hardest part to figure out was the removal of the seat belt where you have to bend up the Aluminum Blind Rivet holding the seatbelt anchor to the floor without thinking you were going to ruin it. You skipped over that part.. 😬

Thank you ! Referenced your post numerous times. The outside (seat) bolts scared me because they are loose but held. The worst part was the front torx bolt on the console, almost didn't get it. But I am installed !

Yes I have the one with no storage so I understand completely. Dealership would’ve charge three arms and one leg for that installation. Good video

Awesome video! Thanks

Great video! Thank you

Great video! Where did you find the center console with the storage compartment and is the one you spoke about with the lower compartment storage available with the A/C and heat vents? Thank you!

Nice video. So, you only had to slide the drivers side seat forward, correct?

Thank you! I really appreciate the level of detail in your video! The fact you mention the specific size bits needed is awesome! My husband and I just got a used trail boss, so the center console had cracked leather and the lack of storage was a disappointment (even though we love the truck itself). I'm glad this looks like a fairly easy replacement process, though. My only question is where did you find the replacement assembly? I'm sure chevy has it, but I'd prefer to avoid their markup for it.

Bro!!! I literally am so thankful and grateful for this video, I own a 2020 silverado and love it except my no storage center console. You made my year man! One question: where do I get my hands on a replacement center console??

Great video.

I needed this video

Well I was thinking chain saw but this seems cleaner. I can't find a replacement console. I'm going to talk to my body guy. Great video. Thanks!

I was as gentle as possible removing my trim and still at a retainer break in the driver side piece. Do you the part numbers?

My prayers are answered!

ima glad this exists

I bought a 2019 Silverado 2500HD with a royal body bed last year. It's pretty much an expensive ass base model truck. Can you upgrade things by just buying them? My steeringwheel doesn't have buttons for the radio but I heard all the wires or connections are there so you basically just buy a steeringwheel with the button and the connections should be there. Is that true? I heard something like that for remote start. It's just annoying having to reach the radio to adjust volume or change the music. Would changing the speedometer with one with a fancy bigger screen possible also or those trim models built different? Thanks.

Thank you I just got a 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 utility body like this and hate I have no storage

Yep, I had the same star- bolt strip out on me.

Wow. I have an RST trim level. I had no idea that they dont even give you storage in that center consols/seat on the lower trims. What a dick move by GM..

Question.Did you just order the center console from the LT level trim?

The LT also has a storage compartment under the middle front seat.

My rally edition custom came with the storage console 🤔 I didn't even know the others didn't have it until my coworker showed me his

That's just what I need for my custom trail boss you got a link to buy the console?

Damn you coulda wired and installed a dual USB port to the back while you were at that! That’s what I plan on doing if I get a custom. GM could do better I mean come on. How comfortable is the custom version? How’s the road noise on the long hauls? Great tutorial!

Thanks for the video! Made my swap so easy. Have you been able to find a console organizer that fits?

I love my bench seat. Put a small trash can on the floor for the garbage my kids make on trips. Perfect use of space.

I guess my wife and I are lucky with choosing the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado RST Z71 that we have the storage!

Thanks for making this video!

My 2020 Custom has the handle/compartment and it's not a listed 'option' so I checked in with a relative who designs the Silverado and found that they switched the console in some of the later built 2020 models. So some have the handle and compartment (ones built later) and the early ones don't. Sounds like the 2021s will all have them.

Thank you! Done today.

Where where you able to just find the top section? I was wondering if ya could let me know. Having trouble finding the top part only. Thanks man

Where did you get the upper middle seat? I’m having trouble locating a part number, local dealer told me it’s not possible. Do you have a website or part number available?

Fantastic video and information ! I actually called the chevy dealership and they had no clue if I could convert it ... I of course said , yes i can ! Ughhhhhh .... anyway , where did you get the new center counsel ? Thanks for the awesome video 🤜🤛

Will this work on a 2500 custom? I assume so but not 100 percent sure if the seats are the same

Take apart the old seat back to see if there's a storage spot in it. maybe if it does you can just buy a lid?

Very detailed video

thanks for the DIY man! what are those side steps you have installed on the TB called?

Isn’t there storage in the lower part, like the Center seat you sit on?

Just getting into a 2020 silverado and this video is amazing! Hoping it will help me lots. Quick question though, how does it fit with the vents in the back and then is it possible to run a plug all at the same time?

great job

I need that!!!

Good video installation was easy

WHAT!!!! OMG next on the list. Do you have a parts list, or link for the center seat/console?

2020 custom I have has the handle in the center console.

Thanks I was really disappointed about the having enough storage really sucks I was about to walk in that dealership and get my Fully loaded f150 back lol

I hope you’re thinking about getting the back seat fold down cup holder. I would love to see a video on that.

Wow good job! Now we just need a wireless phone charger on that Lid!!!

Is it the same part number for the Sierra work truck 2020?

Yeah where did you get yours I need to switch mine too

update on optional tow mirrors. I received my build sheet yesterday, and it has listed that heated mirrors came on the truck. But as per GM, the mirrors do not display a heat symbol on the glass as in previous years. So long sorry short, don't believe everything your dealer says, keep asking questions and researching for answers. I will order the mirrors and wiring harnesses, and install myself, but the dealer will have to program for complete use of lighting.

I may be missing it but do you have the info on where to find the top and the whole seat versions ? I can't find them online. Great video(saved it) and looking forward to my storage

If you take whole top part off of the non storage version there is a hidden secret cubby inside. I work for a large used car dealer and ever since we’ve been getting this generation truck I couldn’t believe the downgrade from the 2018 and older model. I was checking out the arm rest on one of these and couldn’t believe it wouldn’t open. I tried from the back and that’s when I discovered it was broken and the hidden secret cubby lol. Had a plastic inset and everything. Now this particular one could have been discovered before hence why it was so easy to pop the top off and someone may have made a makeshift plastic insert for it because it does look suspicious but I don’t know… not the weirdest thing I’ve seen car manufacturers do.

thanks for the video! can you tell me where you got those sun-glasses holder?

Nice upgrade! Have you found a new Grill that works on the Custom to remove the Chevrolet? Maybe I’m stuck in the 80-90s, but I prefer the bowtie.

Great video I had to do the same thing. I got the complete upper unit too but I did the install a bit differently. I took the screws out of the passenger and the driver's seat tracks next to the center console and then pulled the seat release to move the tracks out of the way. Then I completely removed the center console and swapped the top out in the garage. A little more room to work, not sure what Chevy was thinking I traded in a 2001 2500HD with 315,00 miles on it for the 2020, and I was spoiled with all the storage the old truck had. Ok so now the tough question, on the inside of the lid there are two places molded-in for something one looks like maybe papers, and the other I have no clue. Have you looked at them and if so what are your thoughts. Thanks for a great video again enjoy

What’s the part number for the seat. I got to do this upgrade.

Can someone help me with finding where to buy the seat back/whole seat? I love the video only thing missing was a link to purchase?

4:45 pm. I need one. How do I order this ? 2020 chevy silverado 1500 custom

Good vid.. im happy I didnt have to do that mine already came with it. 😅

I need this so bad how much would you say it would cost to make these

Is the center front seat available in all z71 custom and trailboss models or is it optional?

Do you have the link where you purchased the console?

Thank You for the video ! I did this today , it went well .

Was the top have just from Chevy? Just want to know where you bought it. Thanks! Great video.

If you're changing out the entire console, all you have to do is take out the seat bolts on both sides with a T50, use trim tool to pop the sensor cable lose underneath the seat to give yourself some slack, then lift and lean the seat back. Do this on both sides. It will give you plenty of clearance to get to the 18mm bolts securing the console in place. Once you have the console loose, simply lift the console up and take it out the passenger door. Much easier than trying to get it past the steering wheel. Do everything in reverse order and you're all set. Just did mine and it took maybe an hour. Too easy.

I'll be doing this on my 2021 base model GMC Sierra, like you, I wasn't paying GM an extra $10000.00 to move to the SLE to get this.

I’ve owned my 2024 Custom trim level Trail Boss for 4 months and yet have had no need for the center console’s pop open storage feature or the underseat storage. I do like having it being available however should my needs change.

Hey man, can you please provide the link where we can buy the entire assembly? And by the way great videos! Keep it up 👍🏻

Where did you purchase the seat from

Thank you 😊

what step bars are those you got?

Did you purchase this console from the dealership?

I almost got mine without removing either of the seats, and then that the seatbelt bolt bottom out on the driver's side seat track. Oh well, still went smooth otherwise, thanks for the video!

where did you get the upgraded console? i want one

The 2500 custom has the storage. And its the foldable seat

what console did you purchase?

Would it be possible to remove the centre seat altogether and put one of those bad ass centre pieces that connects to under the dash?
