The time came up way sooner than I had hoped. In 2020, I leased my 7th Silverado 1500 and yesterday was the day I had to turn it in. Normally I get out of leases early by about a year or so. But not this time, coupled with lack of selection and my LOVE for this Silverado I hung on to it for as long as I could. I thought about buying it out and I'm already regretting not doing that. I loved everything about this truck, I put a lot of time and money into modding it just the way I wanted it. That Satin Steel Metallic.......pure SEX!!! And not an option anymore.
Anyway, There were several reasons I turned it in. It was going to cost quite a bit more to buy it per month than my lease payment and when I drove the new Silverado I fell in love with the new interior's bigger screen and digital features. It was like driving my 2020, but better. I love driving it as much as my 20.
I set out to find one similar.....and failed miserably. So yes, this is a sad day. Selection SUCKS right now. There just isn't much on the lots here in Michigan. As I was looking this one was just placed on the lot with another couple. So, yes I'm happy with the new looks and creature comforts.
Having said that, I need to start giving this a new look. I want to wrap the chrome bumpers, grille and mirrors and I'm trying to choose what I want to do with badging and the tailgate letters. I'm thinking red or blue, or maybe matte black??? I'm putting the gloss black wheel covers on this one, like my old one. Those lasted really well and looked amazing for just covers!! Lets see those 23 Black Silverado mods you've done!!! I'm looking to see what looks good on these trucks, besides chrome!!!
