I doubt it very much. A lot of electronics changed in 2013

IMO you'd be money ahead getting an aftermarket system. Sure, you won't be able to control everything like we can, but you don't have all the things we're controlling. :)

I like the look of the factory 8.4 unit. I have the nav screen now and liked it till I set in a '13

No argument there! I too like it. It's funny because I get in my wifes Enclave and her screen looks downright tiny compared to mine.

It is huge. That's why I found it so disappointing that it only comes with a cd/mp3 player. I should be able to watch dvds on a screen this size.

I have that. But it only plays audio and mp3 cds. My 2010 had the rear VES and dvds would play on the head unit as well. But I don't see anything in my 2013 manual about dvds. I only tried once and it didn't work.

For the money and hassle I'd look at the Alpine Z928HD.
It's almost as big and with a couple of modules will retain the steering wheel controls and everything else and be way easier to get up and running that the OEM unit...probably costs less too.

I don't think it'd even be possible. You could find a wrecked 13 and do an entire swap of everything, and I mean everything. The harness is way different, HVAC controls are different... The truck might not look too different from the outside, but they changed a lot more than you think.

I may end up trading in on a 2014 sport with air ride suspension

I could make a harness that would physically connect the radio to your truck. But it's very unlikely that it would work. It would probably see your VIN and decide not to work. If it got past your VIN, it would probably see your BCM and decide to stop working.

But if you spend the money on a radio, I'll try to help you out.
