My new Sierra

LaserBlueZ71 · November 17, 2015

Well, I said I would never buy new again...but, took it for a test drive, and it was all over after that.

I had a 2011 Silverado 1500 Ext cab before, I swore I would never get rid of it, but the interior was just so, blah. My truck was an LT so I found it very plain and it had really no technology to speak of like the newer models.

I told myself this time around, I would get something I actually want instead of getting excited at driving the first thing I seen. So after much research, I tracked down a 2015 GMC Seirra 1500 SLT double cab, with the very hard to find max tow package, including the 3:73 ratio. This was HUGE for me because I want to add bigger tires, so factory 3:73's was a definite must. That is actually a rare thing to find in Canada, only a handful in the entire country on the lots. This truck has ever option except the sliding rear window, which really does not bother me anyways. I also originally didn't want white, but it grew on me fast. I am done with dark colors. Way too difficult to hide scratches or rock chips, difficult to keep clean and looking clean.

I love the full load mirrors, these have every option, including the power fold. I honestly do not miss my 2011 at all. GM did a great job on these trucks. Very quiet, rides awesome, great stereo, comfortable, and this thing really gets up and goes with those 3:73's! I especially do not miss the rear suicide doors on my 2011 in a tight parking space. Love having individual doors!

Yep, the 5.3

I originally thought I really wanted the 6.2, but that engine needs champagne all the time which i cannot afford. I think the new direct injected 5.3 with the 3:73 ratio and a good tune, could be one heck of a power house, more than I will ever need.

Looks good. That color and setup is not something you see every day, so its unique.

And I hear you on going with the 5.3L over the 6.2L due to it needing expensive high octane fuel. When I retire down the road, I'll upgrade to a 6.2L, as I won't have to drive very much, and will want the extra grunt for pulling a trailer in the mountains.

actually not that bad with the 6.2 with the 3:42 over here. And nope I don't drive downhill. I've you drive it normal you would see great results

E85 capable?

E85 delivers 90% of the power/tq of the 6.2 when used in the 5.3

Nice ride btw
