2015 Gmc Sierra 1500 Denali on 2040-cars
Paris, Kentucky, United States
E-Mail Questions at: alishiaahholderness@ft6.com .
Features: There are too many to list. Cadillac has nothing on this truck! Honestly, I probably only understand about 1/2 of the features this truck has to offer. It is full of tech. I have all the manuals to assist the new owner with exposing all of the options on the truck. Most of the options, except the rear video, wheels, and 6.2L engine, are standard on a Denali, but as for a few I find cool/useful, or otherwise worth mentioning:
(a) Seating: the rear seats are extremely comfortable and there’s plenty of room for adults to ride. I would gladly take a long trip in the back seat of this truck and I’m a big guy. The truck has more room in the back than my wife’s minivan and most passenger cars I’ve ridden in. The front seats are electric in every way imaginable. Both front seats are heated and air conditioned! Climate Control: With dual zone climate control, you and your front passenger can have it just the way you want it. Not only can you set two different temps, but with the heating and cooled seating, you can actually stay warmer or cooler than your passenger with no problem. For rear passengers, no worries about being comfortable because heat and air come to the back via floor vents as well as vents in the back of both front seats. It also has a heated steering wheel!
(b) The tech: One of the most amazing tech options for me is the wifi in the truck. It’s satellite based (Onstar) and is very inexpensive (around $20/month) and is very fast. I need wifi for my job wherever I am. The truck enables me to have it for all of my devices anywhere in the country even if I have no cell service. The truck can also have its own phone number. Yes, you don’t even have to own a phone… this truck will call and text for you (without a separate phone) for a fee to Onstar. Of course, you can make calls from your smart phone, answer calls and talk via the vehicles intercom/audio system at the push of a button (no problems with the truck hearing you while driving b/c there are multiple microphones & truck is whisper quiet). The truck accepts verbal commands for all tech functions from navigation to phone usage, to finding a gas station, to adjusting the media/radio, etc.. And, the truck almost always actually understands my commands (something not true for my previous vehicle). The truck has several USB connections throughout, multiple traditional cigarette jacks, 2 SD card jacks, 1/8 jacks in front and back, RCA connections for media in the back, volume control for the wireless headphones as well as for one set of wired headphones for the rear passenger. And, of course, bluetooth is available for connection to phones or any other blue tooth device (including hearing aids) for talking, playing music, etc.. I.e., if you wish to be connected, this is your truck! There is also a power-inverted 110 outlet as seen in the pics. This can power your laptop and other such small amperage items.
(c) 4 wheel drive: With the twist of a knob, you can be in 2WD, 4-low, 4-high, or the “auto” setting. In my opinion, this is a must for any truck.
(d) Towing: The truck has the full tow package with hook up for both types of often-used trailer connections. The cargo light is not just in the usual position above the bed, but there are LED’s in the inside rails of the bed as well so you can see well inside the bed in the dark. Transmission has tow/haul mode for saving the tranny under heavy loads. Pressing this button also changes the dash display to include a transmission temp reading.
(e) 8-Speed Auto transmission w/manual-paddle shifter: Shifts more smoothly than any truck I’ve ever driven. Unless you get into the throttle, you never notice the truck shifting. Similar to the Camaro (and other vehicles), if you put the transmission in “manual”, you can use the “+/-“ button on the automatic shifter to change gears and give the truck the feel of a manual. This also helps with pulling large loads.
(f) Remote vehicle start/control: Just download the “onstar app” and you can lock/unlock your doors, start or shut down the truck, and set off the truck’s alarm from anywhere in the world!
(g) It has a television, and you can watch in the front!!! This is a big bonus for parents. The HD TV in the back is controlled up front or via the wireless remote. The rear passengers have 2 sets of wireless headphones already connected with the media system in the truck. Just pop in a movie, turn on the headphones, and that’s it! As shown in the pics, the movie also displays on the front display whenever the truck is in park position. Kinda cool if you’re on the road and stop for a while or stop to eat, etc..
(e) Other useful options: The door mirrors withdraw (for pulling into a garage etc) with the touch of a button on the door. The mirrors are, of course, all electric. The gas and brake pedals can be brought closer to and farther from the driver to accommodate for short/tall drivers. The mirrors, driver’s seat, and pedal positions can be saved (two separate settings) for one touch readjustment of this items. Handy for husband/wife to have their own settings. The truck is tall so the parking assist front and back is very helpful (and it shows you where you are, it doesn’t just beep when you get close to something). It has a backup camera, of course with direction guidance when backing up. Also, the center console is the most functional I’ve ever seen. As shown in the pics, you can move parts around to satisfy your needs. It even allows for a hidden access compartment (for hiding things like concealed weapons, wallets, etc). The main compartment is very large and thus allows for plenty of storage. There are additional storage compartments on both sides of the console. You won’t run out of places to put things. Sun roof and rear window: These are handy options for brightening your day. The sunroof works great and doesn’t create a lot of noise. The electric back window opens with a push of a button by the rear view mirror.

Buyers ditching expensive European sedans to buy expensive American trucks
Mon, Feb 19 2018The New York Times ended the automotive week with a story that adds numbers and context to a range of other stories, from the crossover craze to the increasing median price of a new car to ever more grandiose pickup trucks. The NYT piece reveals that the shift to larger vehicles isn't merely about the average U.S. buyer swapping the midsize sedan for a Ford Edge. Luxury buyers are migrating from plush sedans to plush SUVs and trucks that creep close to six-figure prices, and the Detroit Three are running Treasury presses because of it. From 2013 to 2017, the truck category — everything from pickups to minivans — climbed from 30 percent of the market to 41 percent. In January of this year, trucks claimed 66 percent of new vehicle sales. At the milk-and-honey end of profits, GMC alone accounted for 11.3 percent of all vehicle sales over $60,000, not just trucks. That puts the luxury truck maker behind Mercedes-Benz and Ford, The Blue Oval's feasting on Lariat, King Ranch and Raptor versions of the F-150, which make up more than half of that pickup's sales, putting it ahead of Chevrolet, Porsche and Lexus on the high-dollar sales list. The average transaction price of a GMC in Denali trim last year was $56,000; it's easy to see why, when one dealer told the NYT he just swapped a 2012 BMW 550i for a $71,000 GMC Sierra Denali. That truck starts at $52,900. The NYT started its story with a buyer who took home a Ford Raptor instead of an Audi A6, and optioned that $50,020 Ford Raptor close to $80,000. Over at Lincoln, the new $72,055 Navigator — the one so popular that Ford will increase production — crossed hands for an average sale price of $77,000 in January. And a Jeep dealer told the NYT that the two $93,000 Trackhawks he had on his lot "won't be here more than a few weeks." While trucks head up in sales volume and price, cars are headed so viciously in the opposite direction that "the Detroit Three and even some foreign manufacturers acknowledge they are now losing money on many of the cars they sell." So ... get ready for a lot more crossovers and trucks. Related Video: Find out what vehicle is right for you. Give our Car Finder tool a try.
2017 GMC Acadia First Drive
Fri, May 13 2016We're in the midst of the Second Great CUV War, and the crossovers are winning by a lot. Compact sedans are being hauled around the side of idled factories and unceremoniously shot. FCA, whose be-sweatered CEO is either omnipotent or a troll of the highest order, is organizing a last stand around profit-dense SUVs and trucks on the off chance that gas prices don't rise ever again. It's the tall wagon's finest hour, and GMC is hoping the new Acadia will capture a share of the glory. The old Lambda-platform Acadia was introduced in 2007, leading the full-size, three-row crossover charge that spawned a quartet of semi-indistinct variants, including a Saturn. (Remember Saturn?) These four were truck-like in heft and capabilities, but lighter and better-mannered than their body-on-frame counterparts – and with an unusually stout 5,000-pound towing capacity. The Lambda siblings bombarded established beachheads on the sales territories occupied by minivans and truck-based SUVs. Last year, GMC moved nearly 100,000 Acadias in the US, the best year ever for the model. Now GMC shows up with a deflated Acadia for 2017, 7.2 inches shorter overall, 3.5 inches narrower, and with a 6.4-inch-shorter wheelbase. The company has even carved something like 700 pounds out of its previously portly unibody, mostly due to the size reduction but also through an increase in the percentage of high-strength steel and the use of lighter soundproofing materials. GM's C1XX platform was launched with the Cadillac XT5 earlier this year, and this GMC version is the second to appear. There's even an available four-banger, but more on that in a bit. What remains to be seen is whether the downsized Acadia represents a leaner, meaner fighter or if GMC is sending it into battle hamstrung. Outside, the new Acadia is stealthily innocuous. Gone is some of the lozenge-ness of the outgoing Acadia, but don't fret about it standing out from the crowd. The overall styling falls into lockstep with the Sierra and Canyon. The cut of the rear window, with an upsweep at the trailing edge, emulates the brand's mid-sized truck offering. A chrome mustache cuts across the front fascia below the grille, and there's more brightwork around the front side windows and at the crease below the scallop in the doors. The taillights are more contemporary than before, with an attractive elongated C element comprised of LEDs.
2015 GMC Canyon gets the party started [w/video]
Sun, 12 Jan 2014The 2014 Detroit Auto Show press days officially kick off tomorrow, but the night before all the madness commences, General Motors drove its new 2015 GMC Canyon pickup truck out for all to see. To refresh your memory, the Canyon is GMC's new midsize pickup - essentially a re-skinned version of the Chevrolet Colorado that debuted at the LA Auto Show in November.
Many of us at Autoblog prefer the look of the larger GMC Sierra to that of its Chevy Silverado kin, and we're having similar feelings about the new Canyon, especially after seeing it in person. It's sort of a pint-sized version of the Sierra, and it looks great. Clean lines are found throughout, and the Canyon's styling is decidedly premium.
At launch, the Canyon will be offered with the same engines as the Colorado - a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine with 193 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque on the base end, and a larger 3.6-liter V6 with 302 hp and 270 lb-ft as an option. The Colorado's 2.8-liter diesel inline four-cylinder will be available after launch. Both two- and four-wheel drive configurations will be available, depending on the model.
