the auto turn off. I hate that shite and I feel like in the long run its going to cause engine problems
I bought a 2018 sierra left over for this reason.
2019s came with it. Cant permanently disable, have to do it every-time you start it. I have no idea why they couldn't make a permanent setting. I was also scared of longevity of the engine and starter.
The most wear and tear on an engine is at startup.

You can thank CAFE standards and environmentalists for this shite. The automakers can take a credit when they're making up emissions and MPG numbers for stopping the engine during the time an average car spends stopped at your average red light. It can be overridden for safety or convenience reasons, but the override cannot latch and stay engaged through a power-off period for the automakers to be able to take the credit for it.
Next time you see a tree-hugger break its fricking nose and kill a whale. For the people.
