Just comments on the 3LT
This is what it shows on the Chevy Build & Buy website (in addition to what is on the LT2 )
My experience with the GM NAV was one reason I got just a 2LT in 2017. It's not as good as what I get for free updates for in my old Garman. Now I mostly use Apple Car Play that displays on my center screen with my iPhone and is updated free. GM still charges over $200 for an update. One advantage of the GM NAV is it does display in HUD.
The other reason is GM got "cheap: on most interior colors after 2015! My 2014 had full interior dash and door panel "leather color" that looked great with my Kalahari 3LT. For 2019 only "Splice Red" has that full color treatment. If I wanted that color would have considered but not Kalahari (and most colors that are similar) that looks like a patch work quilt to me. I realize esthetics are personal.
The PDR, if desired, is reported to be fine. It can be ordered with a 2LT. These can be also be purchased from aftermarket sources but are not integrated into the cars system.

Practically speaking, the 2LT gave me the HUD, garage door opener and front cameras that were must haves... The additional 2LT goodies have added a lot of enjoyment to owning the care and are really nice to have... IMO the 3LT adds bling but not much more functionality.
I think the 2LT is the sweet spot for features and value.

I agree with Jerry regarding the 2014/5 Kalahari interior vs 2016/2019 interior in a 3LT interior. If I was buying a 2019 with Kalahari, I would get a 2LT not a 3LT and use Car play and google maps and not get the nav/pdr.

I'd like a 0LT option.

Especially since the 3LT leather dash can have peeling issues, thus some consider it a risk.
I think my 3LT interior looks great, very upscale and nice with the variety of materials - but other then PDR which wasn't available in 2014 (boo!) and the microfiber seat inserts (separate option) there is nothing I would miss dropping down to the 2LT.

Just FYI MANY, not all, but many, 2LTs have Nav/PDR as an option.

Never understood getting the NAV. For me a complete waste of money.
