Holder Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 A few weeks back we realized a larger vehicle was needed. There was no way i was giving up the TBSS, too much time and money into it. So I asked the wife if she felt comfortable enough to drive a full size truck on a daily basis. I was surprised when she said she was ok with it. Luckily the water pump in her Cruze went out on Monday so we had to take it in to get a replacement. It literally had 400 miles until the bumper to bumper warranty. I think they design these things to brake after 36k miles. Anyway she drove a few and really like it. We gave them all out our criteria for what we wanted and luckily enough they had what we wanted. I asked them not to remove any stickers or covers and no wash or "detail". I had a long talk with the salesman and sales manager about all the swirls and over all dull finishes on the showroom vehicles. Most are too blind or too excited to see when looking at a new vehicle. So, the detailer in the back was offended that he could't clean up our truck.to prove he was better than the "other" detailers. But was nice enough to throw in some extra Chevy rubber floor mats. I love the ride of the new trucks, and really like the look of the Silverado's. I've always been more of a Sierra guy. Here she is, Silver Ice Metallic, Jet Black Cloth Interior, 2WD LT Crew Cab Short Box. All Star Edition with remote start, back up camera, heated seats, navigation My Link and trailer braking. Locking Diff. With 3.42 gears. Window tint and 3-5 drop coming soon. ( so the wife can get in and out easier) THE Mook, scootertrash19, Redbeard and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marylander Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Nice! Congrats on the truck. I was just sitting in one of those at the DC auto show yesterday -- they really have done a nice job on the interiors in those. Holder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaserBlueSilverado Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Just curious, why only the 2WD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holder Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Just curious, why only the 2WD? I never had the use for a 4x4. It's always been my preference to own rear wheel drive trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFairbanks Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Window tint and 3-5 drop coming soon. ( so the wife can get in and out easier) Is that an excuse or something that you want as far the 3-5 drop? My wife is 5'5" and drives a full size Duramax like she owns it. Truck looks nice, BTW.

LaserBlueSilverado Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 She wants it lower to get in and out easier. I want it lower for looks. Trucks are the wrong vehicle to be lowered, should be a crime! Mind you, it is a 2WD. I have to admit, I have a 2011 Silverado I purchased new, and I have used the 4X4 once in that time. Honestly, anyone could easily get away without it, but it's hard to find 2WD trucks, and the resale value is quite a bit lower. When my fiance bought her truck, 2012 GMC Sierra, we looked at getting her a 2WD. If you opt for 2WD it takes about $4,500 off the vehicle price.

Holder Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Thanks everyone. I'll get a full right up soon with the new vehicle prep and will be making some modifications to set this Silverado apart from the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaserBlueSilverado Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I can't speak for the 2014 programs, but I just pulled the trigger on a DiabloSport T1000 this week. I got an amazing deal, couldn't say no. It makes driving these trucks fun as opposed to just ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holder Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 First wash on the new truck done. We finally had a nice weekend. I only had time for a wash. Windows are tinted. The 3/5" drop coming very soon. I also started removing the pin stripes. THE Mook 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildBillsBlueC6 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 You will love the Silverado. I am driving them all the time and they are great driving. The 2WD with the G80 locking diff diff is a great combo and keeps the truck a lot lower. I have found them to work fine in the snow and Ice. Most people that 4WD don't really need it.
