Screw the carbon fiber bed, the new GMC Sierra might be the first vehicle with a USB-C port!

What if you took a USB to USB-C cord and plugged each end in? Does the truck explode?

Can I jump-start it through the USB-C port?

It better support USB-PD, or what’s the point of having a C?

The new Ram has two of them in it. They even called it Ramcharger!

Only if you use a Macbook Pro 15 as a power source.

But without the added featuees, just hand out a USB to C adaptor, and fit 3x as many devices with one port.

Right, but without the features of C, it’s just an adaptor. May a well hand out adaptors.

But you can lose an adapter. Say no to dongles.

I don’t get why this is an important feature.

Because the thing is like $65,000 and doesn’t even have it. You get power running boards but you still have to take your key out of your pocket and push a button on it just to unlock your door. Doesn’t make sense.

Seems like a solution to a non-existent problem to me.

When you have it you’ll understand what I’m talking about. I never have to worry about taking my keys out of my bag. Plus, when I open a door for a passenger, I unlock my door too. When I close the rear swing gate and have a lot of stuff, I just push the black button on the handle. It’s probably my favorite automotive “convenience” right now (backup cameras are mandatory now).

The majority of Android phones and Apple laptops from the last couple years. The iPhone X has a lightning port but fast charges with USB-C power sources.

The new Ram has them as well, 2 USB C’s and 2 old school USB ports.

Once you have it, you’ll never go back. My ST and CX-3 have it and I keep the keys in my bag (fine, man purse, whatever). Usually in the hatch
