Our GMC Sierra Denali Experience

For the first week of June our family was able to test out a GMC Sierra Denali for free. Opinions of the experience and the vehicle are 100% our own.

Just Look at that Shiny GMC Grille
So new, so shiny, so black. I can’t wait to drive this.

When the GMC Sierra Denali arrived on Monday morning I was thrilled to see that it was black. That is my favorite color for a car or truck. The guys dropping it off went over a few things with me and told me that it was a diesel engine. I’m glad that they did because I had no idea and I wouldn’t have wanted to put in the wrong gas. I didn’t have to worry though because even through I drove the truck for every errand for a whole week plus two trips back and forth to work I still only managed to use 3/4 of a tank.

Rainy Day, nature's car wash
Finally got the powder coat of pollen off the GMC Sierra Denali with nature’s car wash, rain.

This was a good sized truck that took up over half of our tiny driveway. I had to park my car on the side yard for the week. I had attempted to clean out the garage before the truck got here so I could park my car there, but I needed the GMC Sierra Denali to help with the cleanup.

Riding High in the GMC Sierra Denali

I was given the chance to test drive a GMC Sierra Denali for a week and tell you what I think of it. Opinions are 100% my own.

I got home from work today and caught a couple of hours of sleep before the GMC Sierra Denali was dropped off at the house. I was very excited to get the delivery of the truck. I’ve been looking forward to driving this truck for a while. It is always fun to try out a new vehicle for a week and see what you like about it. It is certainly much more useful to learning about the vehicle than just a simple test drive.

Eva's Excited

The truck arrived before Eva got out of school so she was super excited when I rolled up in “Ironhide!” I love that she knows her Transformers even if it was the movie version. Actually the movie version of the character is a GMC Topkick and is way more Heavy Duty than the Sierra Denali. I tend to think of this version of the vehicle Ironhide’s civilian clothes.

I’ll be telling you more about the truck as the week progresses.

More LEGO fun with Eva. I picked up a few LEGO City sets and Eva loves them. The little police and fireman figures are so cute. The police officer even has a couple of sets of handcuffs. I love the helicopter and the mini fire truck is great. there are just so many LEGO sets out there and I love putting them all together. Eva has been getting even better at helping me find pieces. I’m getting better at describing what I need too.

When I was a kid I collected Transformers. 36 years later I am still a kid at heart collecting Transformers. Back in 1986 or so I decided to create my own Transformer. Sure it was on paper with crayons. I’m sure that I have it somewhere but it was a Transformer that was a monster truck with a plow. The other day I was in Walmart and I picked up Sentinel Prime. It was on sale and it was pretty much what I had envisioned as a 12 year old kid, if only it was black, grey and red like the A-Team van. At that time I wanted to design Transformers. I loved taking mine apart with a small screwdriver and putting them back together. When I took a trip to Hasbro I saw that there is a job where someone takes each one apart and puts it back together. It looked like a fun job. Continue reading I could have designed this one

The truck I want…

Harley Truck

If I was to buy a truck, I would want one of the Ford 350 Harley Davidson Edition Trucks. Today I saw one just like the one above, it was totally tricked out with all the accessories possible including a tonneau cover too.

This truck is amazing, it was reverse engineered to sound like a Harley Davidson motorcycle, it has major power and is just a sharp looking special edition. I’d probably go with an all black edition but not the one with the orange. It is also a nice version but I am pretty sure I couldn’t pull off that look.
