Description of the problem	Design defect - extended cab - low to high volume high pitch wind howl when driving into a head wind depending on intensity & direction of wind. Loud enough that an onstar operator could hear it & it could be recorded on the dealer"s general managers voice mail. Makes conversation difficult. Dealer doesn't have a clue as to what to do to find & correct it. A second design blunder was replacing the charcoal gray interior in previous years with the ebony interior. It is impossible to keep clean & attracts lint & dirt like a magnet. The gray interior was the perfect color combination with the tweed pattern seat inserts. A third blunder is the raising the truck body 3 inches higher off the ground plus adding 2 inches to the depth of the bed making the bed rail 5 inches higher off the ground. The combination makes it very difficult to access objects in the bed from the sides of the truck. To make the truck usable for my work i am having to have it lowered 2 inches in front & 3 in the rear.
