Just took delivery of my 4x4 Sierra Crew Cab SLT in Onyx Black with Gray interior. Everything except the 20in wheels and the nav/DVD. Excellent ride and handling, very quiet with good power. Interior quality is much improved, even over my 06 XL Denali. The remote start is very nice but a few easy things are missing on the new design- FOB key, dual lock on the climate zones (you have to adjust each one individually), and better organized compartment system (no sunglasses holder and one HUGE glove box with no trays, etc). And the audio sound is typical Bose/GM, way overrated and not worthy the money but okay. The audio head does give you the ability to mix/match XM and FM stations on the same set of presets. One innovation that they did not miss was the aux input for your ipod - GREAT idea! If you buy the SLT, make sure you get the Goodyear ATV tires, makes a noticable difference in the ride. Wheels are okay but there are no chrome or other alternatives unless you want to go to the 20s which just looks a little too big. All in all, a great truck and a great redesign. Already had several people stop me and comment on how good the truck looks.

Went to the GMC website and max out a Sierra 1500 (new body style). Came up in the low 40's. So I thought what about a Denali! Well I called around and a half a dozen dealers didn't have any but were on order. Couldn't wait I guess. I did my homework and then talked to a salesman. The Denali came to 45 thousand. Not all the options but a several. I didn't get, sunroof, 20 inch wheels (all ready comes with 18's) or the DVD system. Kids have there own vehicles now. Anyway, traded my 04 Sport side bed, SLT, 4wd, extended cab,5.3 motor. They gave me 19,500. They also came down 3000 of the 45,000. All said and done. Paper work goes in the system the 5th of March. Don't expect to get it until late April at best they said. Can't wait. Has anyone bought a Denali yet? Tell me about it. Thanks Troy

Here's the money info on my ordered Denali. Options, 20 inch wheels, heated steering wheel, cargo rails,and audio system with navigation. Total price $43250. List is $46665 Traded in a 04 Sierra - 47000 miles, 4wd, extended cab, SLT, sport side bed. They gave me $19500. I guess this isn't to bad. I don't mind paying the difference and the dealer is makin some money too. Dealer is even giving me a car to drive so that the miles will be under 50 thousand on my trade. They aren't even charging me anything for the loaner. I just expected they would try to make every dollar they could. Seem like a good enough deal to me. TSully
