"All" '14-'16 Limiteds were "fleet" vehicles. These seem to be all flex fuel and no fold down rear seats. Probably other "fleet delete" items too. Many '12-'13's were also fleet vehicles. Best to check Carfax/Autocheck and/or seller's paperwork history.

 

I have a 2014 limited LTZ that has pretty much every option including fold down seats.

 

Okay so is it safe to assume there are zero 1995~2011 "fleet" Impalas except the two police versions? Sorry, trying to get it right.

 

Again, best to check Carfax/Autocheck and/or seller's paperwork history.

 

I’m not sure if there is a VIN or RPO code (I think there is an RPO code), but i recall reading that GM sold some early fleeet 8th generation Impala models with the side-curtain airbags deleted (to auto rental companies).


EDIT: Enterprise Defends Decision to Delete Side Airbags on Impalas

 

https://www.impalaforums.com/threads/side-airbags.337891/

My '06 has "AIRBAG" marked on the headliner just above the B-pillar. No side airbag marking = no airbag = fleet. At least in the '06 generation.

 

<---------Raises hand in class. I have an answer to that question cuz I found out the hard way. At least for Fleet LTs, they have no fog light/ or holes in the bumper for them, for certain years. And I wish I knew that before I put a used bumper on my LT without inquiring here first.

 

Check the radio. Often times they're missing many features, like sat and nav. Sometimes the display might look different. There are also RPO codes for Fleet vehicles.

 

...and, LT fleet's usually don't have spoilers unlike non-fleet.

 

Thought there was a 9C? taxi RPO like 9C5 or something similar.

 

I guess when a member asks for help we will almost never know if their Impala has fewer features than normal production. And very often they won't know either. So we have to take all circuits into account every time and we'll always be guessing and wondering why no suggested solutions solve it.

Not gonna buy a carfax on another person's car!

I'm gonna go back thru that list of GM RPO Codes. Maybe it's possible to make a list by RPO# and Model Year. After that us done, maybe the Senior brains here can annotate each listed RPO with known differences compared to normal production.

Then Members could search their RPO label.

I really suspect this info can help solve some of these weird electrical gremlins being posted.

 

All trim levels were purchased by National and Avis. I rented several Impala SS & LTZ trims between 06 & 09 and several W body LTZ models through 2016. The GTP & GXP Pontiacs were in rental fleets as well. I even rented an 03 or 04 Bonneville GXP with a Northstar.
I drove a rented 04 Grand Prix GTP from Seattle to Prince George via Abbotsford, Kelowna, Vernon, Kamloops, and Blue River. I drove back down rt 97 through Whistler past Duffy lake etc.

They didn't seem to be de-contented but I wouldn't be shocked to see Thrifty Budget and Hertz de-contenting vehicles.

 

Wow. I have two large pdf's, one for GM RPO's and another for AC Delco RPO's. Neither is dated and no e-stamp.

There are way too many FLEET RPO's. Many are defined as being for corporations including rent/lease. Two just sat Taxi. Others name specific taxi companies. Military and Police but none of the police RPO's are same as the two I see around here.

So my guess, based on a comment on here, is these lists are not comprehensive and might just cover a few model years.

So there is no use in going to any effort here.

I'm going to keep my eyes open for dated RPO lists for GM and AC Delco. I personally would like lists covering 1995-2005 and 2006-2011 and 2012-2020. Or at least combined lists somehow covering 1995-2020. Unlikely to happen.

This RPO idea was a stupid idea my bad lol.

RPO codes are valid for a specific Years and Chassis. They get recycled.

Back in the foggy mists of time they were in the front pages of the paper parts books and later in the microfiche pages.
At this point the parts books are all electronic.

 

Glad I didn't step in that pile

 

Does your say limited in body body Badges? Or does it say LTZ.

 

Confused. LT is Luxury Touring. It's body and cabin stuff. Not drivetrain. Its not L for Limited. As I recently learned (thanks to folks here) the Impala Limited was only available for what, three model years, is that right? Am I reading things wrong!

 

^+1. You've got it right, lol. '12/'13 Impalas came in 3 trim levels: LS/LT/LTZ. LS came from the factory with 16" wheels, no spoiler, no remote start, single climate control hvac, FE1/FE2 suspension and no fold down rear seats. LT came with 17" wheels, spoiler, remote start, dual climate control hvac, FE2 suspension and fold down rear seats. LTZ came equipped like the LT along with 18" wheels, FE3 suspension, leather interior and Bose premium radio/sound system. '14-'16 Impala "Limited" also came in 3 trim levels: LS/LT/LTZ. I've noticed fewer sunroofs, fold down rear seats, spoilers, etc. on the fleet vehicles due to "fleet delete", lol. Iirc, most police/taxi vehicles were LS variants. Powertrains on all the above vehicles were the same: 6 cyl. 3.6 VVT (~305 HP) mated with the 6-speed auto tranny (6T70). The old body style "Limited" ('14-'16) was "fleet-only" and was produced at the same time as the new body style Impala.

 

 

@Jeepster09

I like that Sail badge. You said yours is 2015 Impala LT Limited. Is that badge factory for 2015? Or did you retrofit them yourself? I'm tempted!

I picked a pair up like Jeepster's from Amazon or Ebay Motors for ~$15 a few yrs. ago. I applied with 3M Auto Molding Tape.

 

I added them.

 

Excellent question. I own a rental Fleet vehicle. This would be good to know.

 

Not every limited lacked the fold flat seats.
I rented several LTZ Limited Impalas from National with that option.

Call around to your local salvage outfits or check car-part.com

 

^+1. Maybe they were more common in the top trim line (LTZ)?
