I had posted a while back about totaling my 2009 GMC Sierra 1500. We have narrowed down our new truck selection and I have to tell ya' - I fell in love with a Silverado LTZ that has EVERYTHING I want. But it's white diamond tricoat color. At first I wouldn't even consider it. Now it's growing on me ONLY because getting what I want in another color is proving difficult (unless I custom order which I don't have the time to do). Some notes: I have a small horse farm. I live on a gravel road. My NAVY truck and husband's BLACK car are AWFUL on a dirt road. Dirt, dirt, dirt ALL the time all over. I can't wash my car every week. I tow a WHITE horse trailer. Few times a month. Mostly for lessons (not shows). I am a FT Realtor and having a NICE truck is key. I'm looking at black leather or cocoa dune interior. Leaning toward cocoa dune again because of the mud/dust/dirt factor.

 

Thoughts on this color? I honestly only ever saw this slightly off white on Cadillacs ;) I have a not so great impression of it but when I see pics of it, it does look classy. I use the vehicle for work and personal use MORE than trailering. Thoughts? Or am I overthinking? My 2nd color consideration is the light brown/bronze color but hubby isn't a fan. I'm not so sure on it. It looks so "brown". Dark colors will not work on our road. White will hide the dirt better I believe.

 

Someone talk me in, or out of this color. I can get a good deal on this one - it's on the lot, LOADED. Options wise it's my dream truck. Thanks :)

We have a '15 Tahoe in WDT with cocoa / dune interior and although not officially our first color choice, it has grown to be our favorite. It is a classy color that hides dirt well. I think you will be very happy with the color and the truck in general.

I think it's an excellent choice inside and out, way better than the black and navy. In your circumstances it would be my absolute first choice. Good luck!!

Go with the WDT. When I was looking for a truck, I saw a few with the WDT color and I wasn't much of a fan, it looked a bit too fancy. I wanted pure white but then pure white looks more like a work truck around here so I shot that down. Next I moved to wanting a black one, well after shooting that down along with other colors I decided that WDT is a great happy medium. I didn't think I would like it when I was driving to the dealer to go pick up my truck but after having it for a week I was extremely happy I got it. I've been at the dealer a few times and have one of every color, with over 200 1500s alone they were bound to have something that I would like more. Nope, Nothing. When I look at my truck now I know that at least for me that this color was the right choice. With the color being on a truck you still get the feeling that you are in a truck, but if you want to go to a very nice occasion you feel like you have one of the nicest vehicles there with the color being so high class looking!

 

I haven't had a lot of chances to wash my truck lately and so sometimes it'll go for a month without being washed. It still looks good even though thats a month of dirt, rain, approx. 1400 miles of driving (based on my current avg since i have had it for 11.5 months and have 16K miles now).

 

Also I must say, this color is very strong! My truck has already gone through a lot. Been hit in a parking lot (managed to dent the metal really good but no paint damage at all!) and has had a lot of rocks thrown up on it. This paint is very strong in my experience.

Get it. It's a beautiful color and I get compliments all the time. I may be bias towards my own color but I picked it over standard white and black for a reason. Even when it's dirty it doesn't look dirty.

 

In this pic the trucks filthy even though it may not really look it. It actually just rained and is very dirty lol.

This one will give you an idea of what it looks like clean. Classy imo.

My buddy Mike also has the same color, you can check out his pics too.

I would definitely get the WDT. When I got my truck in '08 I went with Graystone because I don't think they had the WDT (I think that came out in '09?). If I could do it over again I would probably go with the WDT.

 

I agree with whoever said it earlier. It's a truck and has that "truck" look but it also fits in nicely when you go somewhere nice. I think it would be a perfect color for your job as well.

Thank you all! Beautiful trucks/pics. Yes, being a Realtor, the classy look is nice (but I am a very "down to earth"...wear jeans and a sweater kind of Realtor - lots of farms here in Northern VA..........and 300+ miles of dirt roads in our county...I am on them ALOT). Okay......so now must decide on the one they have on the lot - loaded with BLACK leather....or get the sand dune interior delivered in from another dealer...

Thanks! The one on the lot has the rear sliding window - great for my kids too (9 and 12). The truck seems perfect...I will definitely post pics if/when I get it!

Same here haha, I have the black interior and I feel like it's a great combo with the white. Very sleek and modern yet classy.

I love mine. The only downside is that if it gets scratched, the paint is almost impossible to match.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
