I almost got stuck w/ those "chrome" plastic covers that were permanently glued on. If you curbed them, no way to fix.
The real chrome ones in 2010 were just $800 more that the plastic ones. Glad I got those.
BTW even tho the substrate is plastic, the shiny stuff is still chrome. Just deposited in a vacuum rather than electroplated.

I just got my 2011 Suburban LTZ delivered, they did not include the Rain Sense wipers, didn't include a cargo area cover , wasn't able to order the 2 way alarm remote , was told they had too many problems and did away with them

2010s didn't have the RainSense wipers either. 
Tahoes w/ third row seats never had cargo covers. Just Burbs do. Granted the mounting points are molded in, I think as haven't checked mine.
I got my 2-way remote thru parts and then had service install it. Never had any problems w/ either of them except the "up to 1,000 ft range" is a joke. Kind of like the truck runs in the V4 mode at hiway speeds on level ground. That's an even bigger joke.

It's called decontenting and it starts happening after a couple of years for a redesign. Like they deleted the console mounted 2nd row seat fold switches which I found useful. Also the deletion of the heated washer which was partly due to GM destroying the company that supplied them.

Yea
Decontent: Auto industry term for removing features from upcoming model years, usually to save money.

I vote to save $$...
2012 is the rumored new GMT platform... correct?
I wish the damn truck had auto up/down on all 4 windows... bad GM. Bad!
