My 2014 - Ordered, built, shipped, & bought


Recommended Posts

Posted

a 2014 Irridium Metallic GMC Sierra SLT DC 6.2L 4x2 3.73 Max Tow 20" luxory beast! And yes it feels like luxory and its got some balls to it! I'm completely blown away by this truck. And I got an amazing deal with rebates and selling price.

 

Initial Pros: It feels super super rock solid, super quiet, just amazing ride, great power, nice bells and whistles, really really nice interior quality, seats and steering wheel feel great, love the instrument, ac and radio layout, throttle feels responsive and there is defintely some power to be had.

 

Initial Cons: The electrochromatic outside mirror is not complete so there is a gap of reg mirror left. It's just odd and will take a bit to get used to. Why not cover the whole mirror? Also the actual control of the radio system is a lil bit off from smooth but not bad. Meaning it's gonna take a lil bit to get used to. And shifting is a lil goofy feeling but I'm sure it will clean up with driving.

 

A few mods and accessories to come but not much! :driving:

I've noticed the electro chromatic mirror not going to the edge on Fords and Lincolns as well. Not sure why they do that

the shifting will clean up after about 1000-1500 miles.

 

Congrats on the new ride.

It's really kind of dumb IMO.

If you don't mind me asking, what was the time line from order to getting it? I order my truck on 3-4-14, built on 3-24-14 and setting in the parking lot in Mexico waiting to be shipped. 6.2 with 3.42 LTZ.

Nice looking truck! I concur with the power when you roll out and drop the hammer :driving: I also agree they wind out pretty quick. Just don't stick it in manual and think you can shift it fast enough LOL bounced mine off the limiter taking a buddy for a ride. They just kind of shut off then come back on after it completes the shift.

 

I did take a another buddy of mine who is in his mid 60s for a ride the other day. He was really impressed with how quick the truck was (he has a stout 540 cubic inch big block in his 69 Camaro so he has an idea about quick street cars) said he hadn't been for a ride like that since high school. We did a couple stoplight to stoplight shots I can say the brakes will bring it back down pretty quick too :D
