So I decided to make Christmas all about me this year…well not quite since I did get engaged as well, but I bought myself a new truck. Figured it was time to upgrade and this is a truck I’ve always wanted to own. It’s a 2015 GMC Sierra All Terrain and I am totally digging it so far. I never knew a truck could be so comfortable and have everything right at my fingertips. I guess I’ve come along way since just wanting to own Hondas my whole life huh? :ham: ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/20161228_144855_zpsmjpwemfe.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/20161228_144855_zpsmjpwemfe.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/20161228_134510_zps6zmjomt9.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/20161228_134510_zps6zmjomt9.jpg) ---

Very nice! Congrats Probably a tough jump in your insurance premium…but maybe…you know a guy? ---

It was a big jump in premium. Multicar discount and homeowners bundle helps, but it hurt me in the wallet no doubt! I just told myself it’s time to work a little harder if I want to have nice things. ---

Not a truck guy but that looks nice. Saw one the other day that caught my eye and it was the same all terrain model in black. ---

My only complaint on this truck is that the headlights totally blow. They are the projectors and they project like shit. Night driving is tough, so they will be getting upgraded. I did order the led replacement bulbs for the fog lights, should have those tomorrow. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk ---

I was reading about their lights and I’m torn on whether I should go for the led light upgrade or just bite the bullet and get the HID kit. > 2015 GMC Sierra Forward Lighting Unlike the 2014 model, GMC decided to equip the 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 HD, 2500 HD, and 1500 with the same headlight design. All three 2015 Sierra models a single 9012 halogen bulb as a high and low beam bulb. A 9012-halogen bulb is a single filament bulb, which means that a moving shield within the headlight controls the high and low beam patterns. Historically vehicles used dual filament bulbs (H4, H13, and 9007) to accomplish low and high beam, however the 2015 GMC Sierra’s headlights use a moving shield within the projector headlight to switch out the beam. Here is some information about the stock [9012 headlight bulb](http://www.xenondepot.com/9012-automotive-bulbs-s/1029.htm) that the 2015 GMC sierra uses: > > - IEC Base: PX22d > > - Corresponding HID kit: 9012 HID Kit > > - Corresponding LED headlight kit: 9012 [LED headlight kit](http://www.xenondepot.com/led-headlight-bulbs-s/240.htm) > > - Color: Clear > > - Volts: 12.8 > > - Amps: 4.63 > > - Watts:60W ---

I have the factory LED headlights on my 2016, they are awesome. Not sure if those are a direct swap into the HID housings. ---

The amount of shit you will get done with it around the house is worth it. I will never be without a truck again. ---

I agree 100%. I should also add that I did have a 2008 Silverado prior to this, so I’m not new to the truck world, but the upgrade from 08-15 is a world of difference. In addition to selling insurance, I own a janitorial business too. This is used on a daily basis for that as well and my business pretty much covers the cost of owning this truck. That’s the only way I could afford this vehicle at this time in my life. I’m 29, just got engaged and I’m looking to buy my 2nd house. Things are right on track for me and I felt it was time to treat my self to a nice vehicle. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk ---

Congrats on the engagement and nice truck! GMC makes the nicest looking trucks hands down, while I like silverados too as they are close, GMC takes the cake. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/decided-to-buy-myself-a-nice-christmas-present-this-year/274469.md?page=2)
