Looking for an answer on tow rating....
 
Just kidding.
New truck.
Not apologizing for the dirt, no boat hooked up yet.
Sydwayz, please respond to this thread, I'm worried you may have jumped off a bridge after seeing the title.

Nice!

My 2015 GMC Sierra has been on order now for 2.5 months! Can't wait until it arrives!!

I went with a '14 off the lot for the savings. Test drove the F-150 SCab and liked it, but the combination of 4 standard opening doors and 6'5" bed edged it out.
I wanted, in order of importance:
"1" for first digit of VIN
V8 with decent hp/tq
Minimum 3.42 numerical gear
Locking differential
Extended cab
4WD

I wasn't sold on the red, but my late father used to drive red trucks when I was growing up, and the salesman swore red trucks have an automatic 10% increase in towing, so I took it.

I would have gone with one off the lot also but couldn't find one with all the millions of options I wanted! :)

I'm coming out of a GMT900 truck that had manual windows and rubber floor. OnStar, 8" screen, power seat, and remote start are HUGE options to me! LOL

.... And I only miss the rubber floor (already).


And 2 years free maintenance? Whaaaaat?! I hope it's only a small up charge is for Mobil 1 and Wix filters.

Any idea on what spray-in liner is included on the '15? Line-X, Rhino, proprietary?

Nice truck !

I like the red.

They only make 3 colors of vehicles IMO, red, white, and ugly.

:D

5.3.... If there would have been a 6.2/Max Tow on the lot, I would have bought it in any color but pink!
Lots of 4.3L and 5.3/3.08 trucks left on the lot, and either option puts towing in the 7k ballpark. The 5.3/3.42 is 9600lbs.

502ss 12-03-2014 05:05 AM

That was the main reason I had to order was the gear ratio. I went with the 5.3/3.73 which gets me 11,700lbs

I didn't go with the spray in bed liner. It was a $500 option (only standard on Denali)

I went with the ugly color (Black) :)

Tell me you got the black 20's, then tell me you wished they were polished as soon as you take delivery... LMAO.
I'm already debating paint/powder/replacement on the rims. They unloaded a red '15 Rally Edition as I was driving off the lot, and it looked goooooood.
