I'm a big Suburban guy, going back over 20 years. I was waiting for the 2015. I just can't buy one. What they did to the rear doors are disgusting. The rear hatch area looks like a gangster mobile. I do like the front, but the rear is just terrible. I will not be trading in anything. I will simply keep what I have. Maybe the look will grow on me like the C5 Corvette, but I doubt it.

 

Oh well.

Is it because they have designed it to be more angular and less rounded?

 

Maybe you can still find a new '14 on the dealer lots.....

The overall change of the rear design from the previous gen looks pretty small... Looks very similar as seen in the pics above

The rear doors, whatever they did, just doesn't do it for me. I'll wait another few years.............

Yeah, it looks like the designers took the basic design of the '14's and created some straighter lines, eliminated some of the curves of the previous model. Most of the vehicles in this generation are going back to angles rather than curves.

 

20 year cycles.

 

50-s and 60's - Curvy

70's and 80's - Angular

90's and 2000's - Curvy

2010's and 2020's - Angluar

You think GM is the only nice SUV ? !!!! :ughdance: Plenty of other places to drop $60K.

If you like the '14's, try an Autotrader search for new 14's. I just did a quick search and found 25 within 500 miles of me. Dealers will usually do a dealer trade within 500 miles.

 

Or you could look elsewhere.

I had a 2014 leftover lined up. Jackweingardner Chevy. I had the sales order in my hand. Had the financing arranged, and they screwed me. They sold it to someone else.

I can't blame you for wanting to look elsewhere. I'd be pissed too.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I just spent the last 45K miles doing samples every oil change over more than a full year to get the data for seasons and break-in to broke in.    I found the same thing to be true. Something was always teetering on done or had stepped off the cliff long before the OLM was DOA. In fact, I found about a thousand mile difference between summer and winter. That is during the winter half the OLM was STILL too long. Even the severe schedule was to long in the winter.   Now having done the work I can say I was NOT DISAPOINTED. I saw nothing I didn't already know. Nothing my father hadn't already demonstrated in his 2K OCI's pushing dated iron on dated oils and weak filters to mileages well beyond 300K.   Building on his work through use of Lab testing it wasn't hard to find the correlation between 'sight/feel/odor, the things dad relied on, and test results. Use of current viscosity stable chemistries & filters has pushed that marker for my motors out to 3K summer, 4K winter.    So the early lies were 3K on conventional oil and the lie upon the lie was 7K+. turns out to be off by a factor of two.    So... it is true that modern chemistry has doubled the useful oil life. But the base milage that came from was off by double. It's how good lies work. Partly true, sometimes mostly true so that your meter isn't set off. It also means that non-shear-stable shelf oils are only now as good as the old oils were in their best case scenario.    So the question now is how do we improve on that? Thus the question into cleanliness among the other items listed in the post quoted below.    If this bores you, feel free not to participate.

      Is it though?  Like LTZ, not a high take rate.  Current Sierra has AT4, Denali and Elevation as its main bread winners.  Each trim accounting for 25-35% of sales for Sierra.  SLT makes up about 10-15% at best.        Like others have predicted here for GMC, it will be:   - Pro (equal to WT Chevy)   - Elevation (replaces SLE and SLT)   - AT4 (and X)   - Denali (and Ultimate).

      Coming back to this question, *my* answer is no, it's not something about which I'm knowledgeable. I'd need to read up on it and understand how it applies to we the consumer and our oil change regimens.   One of your bolded points is that fresh oil in a container contains particulate matter. I don't think I'm surprised, maybe a little bit that it seems to be a major factor, but there's manufacturing process involved in oil and it doesn't exactly come in sterile packaging.    How much is filtered out on the first start by an acceptable quality filter (AC Delco, as a baseline) filter?   On the GM OLM discussion, just saying that the "number of engine revolutions" appears to be a factor in oil life... cough... maybe driving style *does* matter.

      GMC has been revising their trim level names over the past several years. Sierra Pro has taken over the Work Truck/SL trim name; Elevation has replaced the SLE (and with the Premium upgrade, SLT) in the SUV lineup of late; AT4/AT4 Ultimate and Denali/Denali Ultimate have been the top of the line in off road luxury and on-road luxury respectively for the full-size pickups and SUVs.    SL, SLE, SLT nomenclatures are gone in the Sierra truck line. Mark my words.
