new truck owner

Hi All

i pulled the trigger and purchase a 2014 sierra 1500 silver, crewcab, short bed, all terrain, SLT, 5.3 v8, 4x4 and loaded. With all rebates and supplier price i ended with 10800 dollars off the sticker. I was looking at the canyon crewcab slt loaded and it came to same net price for a smaller truck that drove rougher and didn't even have a garage door opener than a fullsize. This is my first truck and test drove all the trucks from Toyota, chevy, dodge, and Nissan. Gm offered the best deals. I have already added weathertech floor mats and mud flaps. I have added by husky rear underseat storage and the truck is at the shop having clear bra to the front end , a pillars, front roof, and rear bumper. my next order will be bedliner, side steps i think they call it and a retractable tonneau. Any recommendation of the items i still need to order would help. For the Tonneau cover i am looking at retrax,pro and gatortrax. I thinking to install a plastic drop in bed liner or the gm carpet liner. Since i have the front and rear park assist can i still install a brush guard or bully bar. so many questions. thanks again this truck is excellent.

Welcome and nice truck! It looks like stamped concrete to me.

I bought my All Terrain a couple days ago for about the same discount. Mine came with the steps and wheels though, so it was probably a bit higher priced in the end. Congratulation!

Congrats! Got mine 2 weeks ago with $11k off sticker on rebates and incentives.

What rebates / discounts are you getting?

 

I thought the current 20% off incentive was good. Seems you all got better deals.

Mine had $5500 in rebates, and dealer was matching.

Wow! Nice good for you!

The current 20% off deal got the better of me. So I headed over to a local dealer to check out a Cobalt Blue '14 1500 SLT. Sticker around $47,880. Turns out they took a deposit on it, but the salesman let me take it for a spin anyway.

 

First time driving the K2XX. Very impressed overall. Couple drawbacks.

 

It was a shaker big time. Took it on the highway and around 62-65 mph you could feel it in the seat, floor and steering wheel. Not cool!

 

The gas pedal felt odd, it felt heavy. No doubt by design to induce FE. Not a big deal. Just different.

 

Other than that, awesome truck. Love the interior comfort and ergonomics.

 

On a side note, they also had a '15 Crew Cab in Stone Blue Metallic. Love the color! A shade or two darker than the Cobalt Blue.
