25th Anniversary Denali Package, LPO (PDK)
Besides the obvious battery pack, what is the only discernible difference between the Extended and Max range trims in the Sierra EV? (According to GMC.com!)
The max range apparently has driver side auto dimming mirrors, with puddle lights, while the extended range does not? This is according to gmc.com... HOWEVER, our Max Range G9639 doesn't have the puddle lights, while ALL of our extended ranges have puddle lights! Either gmc.com has these listed backwards (likely), or all of our vehicles received the wrong parts at assembly (less likely). Verified with Keyport, there's are also the same. Extended's have the lights, Max's do not.
