new truck ordered...

PickUPS · February 23, 2014

I’m new here. I posted a short intro in the new-members forum: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/158588-new-member-from-mid-michigan/

I just placed my order for a new 2014 GMC Sierra last week. It is a 2WD SLE double-cab in Summit White. I originally had my dealer find one for me with just the SLE-Value-pkg. When it came time to close the deal I realized I wanted more.

A 2014 Sierra SLE w/ the SLE Value pkg is a pretty sweet rig in my world but there are three other major options that will make my special-order worth waiting for:

-bucket seats/heated seats/center console

-20” wheels

-Z71 suspension pkg

This is more truck than I ever dreamed I would own. I can hardly wait. Wish I knew how long it will take.

The center-console / bucket seat option isn't added often on SLEs. I'm not trying to create the poor man's Denali, just a more effective and beautiful space for two people.

Congrats! the SLE is what I have (although mine's a 10) and it's got more features than I could want... That center console is going to be nice too... I still kick myself.... when I bought my 10 there was a 2500 with the center console and the dealer told me as long as I didn't screw up anything I could swap it into my truck.... coming from a LS Truck, the center seat console was a big improvement so I passed.... wish I hadn't

anyways Congrats again and looking forward to when you get the truck.....

Did you get the V6?

PickUPS · February 24, 2014

Yes, mine will have the V6. I didn’t really mention it though because I get the impression that the V8s are considered to be the obvious choice here. I understand why too. The V8 in my current truck, 2004 Silverado 2WD shortbox shortcab, is pure joy in action and voice. For my purposes I never need that much power, but it’s so satisfying to hear it roar when pushed.

V6 engines in pick-ups have never looked good to me until this year’s EcoTec3 V6. I could have very easily afforded the V8 and the extra fuel it might burn. That just isn’t how I operate. I take driving very seriously but I focus more on efficiency and effectiveness. I’m more inclined to using hyper-miling techniques than to putting down the power hot-rod style. Now that the General is offering a direct-injected six in a full size truck, it was an easy choice for me.

Getting it will seem long. Waiting for them to fix it after you own it will seem like an eternity.
