GMC has been GM's gem for a long time. IMO.

 

:yup: GMC owner since 1989.



My first, factory ordered, paid around $17,000 for it.

 

What impresses me the most is how GM is actually sticking to its guns with GMC. They all look consistent and they all follow the brand's marketing and positioning.

I've said it before, I'd buy a Canyon Denali in a heart beat. It's a good looking truck in person.

 

Terrain needs a headlight update to bring it in line with the rest of the lineup.

Sierra is easily the best looking truck on the market right now IMO.

 

Fun fact: #1 purchase reason for Sierra is "styling".

 

If I decide to downsize in a year or so, the Canyon is at the top of my list. Doubt I would get the Denali though. If I did, I would swap the grill out before even taking delivery. LOL

 

We saw a Sierra All-Terrain in burgundy yesterday that was drop dead gorgeous. Probably well over $50K but nicely packaged.

 

Mmmm yes please.

 

They do have a nice lineup! I think GMC needs two more vehicles to round up their lineup: 1) a Grand Cherokee competitor and 2) a professional grade Jeep Wrangler.

 

Meh, not a huge fan of the new Sierra (or Silvy), especially the LED treatment around the headlights. I realize it's a better truck than the GMT900 Sierra, but I think my truck looks better and classier.

Right now the Ram is the best looking 1/2 ton truck on the market IMO.

That trend is going around and now everyone is installing those LED bars on their headlights. I really can't wait for this trend to die. It looks absolutely ridiculous on some cars, like the Land Cruiser.

 

I would say it's a tossup between RAM and Sierra for me. I also agree I prefer the SLT with the multi-spoke 20" chrome wheels vs. the Denali. A bit to garish for me. I'd take mine in Iridium Metallic w/ Sand leather.

It's obvious GM is starting to separate GMC and Chevrolet and it certainly shows in GMC's pricing these days.

 

 

You can never go wrong with Fire Red. My families first new vehicle was a '95 Sierra SLE 2WD V6 in Fire Red. Sticker was $19k.

 

I can't understand why you can't get Fire Red with the All Terrain Package. That color with the machined / charocoal wheels and color matched bumpers would be beautiful, plus the red accents in the leather stitching so tie it in further. If that combo was available, that would be what I would order in this fall or next spring when I am ready to replace my 06.

Here's to hoping GM makes it available for the '15s.

Un related to color, but I also wish the max tow package was available with the All Terrain package.

 

I would love to see some more "Professional Grade" products to compete with Jeep.

 

I'd love a Sonoma Red Metallic All Terrain.

I was actually really disappointed to see that paint color didn't make it to Canyon. It would've been a nice tie in with history.

 

That's a nice lineup, but I agree with GTP that it needs 2 models. The Envoy is a no brainer, GM needs a true Grand Cherokee competitor and GMC is the perfect brand to put it. Then it needs something compact, Granite comes to mind.

I miss my SLT..

 

Wonder if there is going to be a 2015 GMC canyon Denali? Also I like to see a ''professional grade'' car!

 

I agree with everything here. Best looking trucks on the market, I also like the gmc interior better. A Canyon Denali or Sierra SLT is in my future, I'm not sure which, but I'm looking at 2017-18 to purchase. Also, would love to see the envoy return, add that to the list of choices for my next vehicle.

 

Future upgrades to the ''professional grade'' trucks such as a diesel 1500 series engine and a 10 speed transmission be real nice as well as led taillights for all models of vehicles Because professional grade suppose to be the best of the best, So you got to have the best of the best out there

 

GMC has always been the best looking truck. Just wish the Sierra had a different dash to further differentiate it from the Silverado. Don't agree with the new headlights on the Yukon's either. That look has been patented by Cadillac and shouldn't have been put on the SUV's.

 

GMC has become GM's hidden gem.

I found it long before now.

Fun fact: #1 purchase reason for Sierra is "styling".

Other than the 1994 MCE which I feel looked better for the full size Chevys, the GMCs have been more appealing to me. I wanted this black truck when Motor Trend ran their first look article.

We saw a Sierra All-Terrain in burgundy yesterday that was drop dead gorgeous. Probably well over $50K but nicely packaged.

I saw a truck just like that at my local dealer yesterday. I dared to not stop for fear of sticker shock.

Mmmm yes please.

Damn you. For all of the staged photos GM took of the Sierra, that one is better than most of them.

I agree with everything here. Best looking trucks on the market, I also like the gmc interior better.

I really like the red/white gauge cluster lighting design better than all white or all red.

GMC looks very handsome, but boring to me. They could do better.

Most buyers don't like wild new designs in their trucks. I'd say the 2015 Colorado has the most "exotic" truck nose. But, it also looks great.

Personally, that's why I like the Silverado.

We'll see how the F-150 does, though.

 

Other than the tabs that cut into the headlight, I don't consider the F150 to be a radical design departure.

 

I find it a more radical design than the GM trucks.

 

I'll give you that. But the 1994 Ram was more radical than the 2015 F150.

 

Man, I got to agree, Next in line a smaller GMC, (like Granite) a Pick up off the Accadia, sort of a Ute, a Jeep type vehicle (Live Axle front-probably with coils instead of leafs) and lastly its own unique interiors.. free from Chevrolet..

 

I'll repeat once again to make it heard. GRAND CHEROKEE COMPETITOR. + a more luxurious, stylish Cadillac based on it.

 

Everything about GMC is superior to Chevy. From the product to its marketing, it soars above. One thing I wish they'd consider, is trying something more striking and different from the Denali grill. Its become a bit of an aged look. It is classy, but if they could experiment with something really bold looking that would be great. Look at the new Escalade grill, its much less complex but way more bold than before and its a total winner.

Care to elaborate on that? other than Denali trim, how is a GMC superior to it's Chevy counterparts? Looks are subjective, so leave that out.

 

My future HD will very likely be a GMC. Right now I'm trying to decide if I want a loaded SLT or just go for the Denali. The prices are similar. I guess it just comes down to if I like painted bumpers or not. I'm a traditionalists and like chrome bumpers, but have owned several SUVs with painted bumpers (Z71 Tahoe, Z71 Suburban and now GMC Yukon XL). I do certainly like the Denali seats and interior trim better. The Denali really is a good deal if you're going for a loaded truck.

 

When I bought my truck (loaded SLT) the Denali was about the same price. I chose the SLT purely due to the true 4wd vs AWD. But now that the Sierra Denali has 4wd, I would choose that over the SLT. Resale will be better too.
