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.

GM also sheds parts from its pickups to boost payload ratings
Thu, 31 Jul 2014The row between Ford and Ram over who boasts the best-in-class tow rating for heavy duty pickups has revealed a number of things. Chief among them is a report that Ford removes items like the spare tire, jack, radio and center console from its vehicles in a bid to lower its base curb weight and therefore keep the truck's gross vehicle weight rating down.
For those that need a refresher, GVWR is the vehicle's curb weight plus its maximum payload. A lower GVWR allows Ford to station its F-450 among the so-called Class III pickups, despite the fact that internally, it has the makings of a more brutish Class IV truck.
Ford explains away these deletions, saying a customer could order their vehicle in such a manner. It has also come to light that Ford is not the only automaker to engage in such practices.
GM announces 6 recalls covering nearly 720k cars
Wed, 23 Jul 2014General Motors has announced yet another sprawling recall campaign, with six separate elements covering 717,950 vehicles on US roads. At this point in 2014, it's starting to seem like there are more days with a GM recall than without. Perhaps most troubling about this latest volley, though, is that every vehicle is from the past few years, indicating that GM's quality woes may not be limited to pre-bankruptcy vehicles.
The largest element of this latest campaign covers 414,333 units, and includes the 2011 to 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, 2010 to 2012 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX and the 2011 to 2012 Buick Regal and LaCrosse. Only vehicles with powered, height-adjustable seats are covered. In these particular cars and crossovers, the bolt that secures the height adjuster actuator may loosen of its own accord and in some cases fall out completely. If this happens, the seats will be able to move both up and down. GM claims the vehicles are safe to drive, provided drivers don't vertically adjust their seats. This particular issue has caused one crash and three injuries.

GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside
Thu, 07 Aug 2014It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
