Hello this is my first post. I am planning on buying a new truck between now and the end of the year. I took a 2015 Sierra SLT for a Test drive today and I really liked it. I am no hurry to buy but I am looking for some advice On the differences between the GMC and the chevy and If there will be any changes between the 15 and 16 worth waiting for?

 

I have a test drive appointment set up for a chevrolet dealership next week just so i can see what is different about the two vehicles but I figure it is mostly cosmetic.

 

Thank you for any input you might have.

 

Chad.

There is no information available on the 2016 yet except for a few leaked spy shots of the exterior, which may or may not be accurate. Price should get better on a 2015 as the year progresses.

There's also the reduced warranty, EXCEPT if you're from Canada.

 

Huge factor here for those looking, I honestly don't think there will be as good of deals at the end of 15 as last year, because if your gonna buy at the end if this year why wouldn't u want 40k more warranty, unless there are drastic changes on the 16

Extended warranties are so cheap I don't think that would play a huge factor in my decision.

 

The miles are just more inline with the time frame. Most people dont drive 20k plus a year.

 

I also thought the new changes were not coming out till 2017?

Extended warranties are cheap but good luck trying to get the company who sold you that warranty to honor that extended warranty.

There will always be something better coming out.

 

If you're ready, pull the trigger now. Then in 5 years when you want to upgrade to the "better" that has come out... you can.

 

You may be dead tomorrow. Enjoy it when you can.

He was probably talking about GMPP or whatever the new GMEPP or whatever it is. That is a factory warranty upgrade/extension.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
