New Guy Here

Hello, my name is Ted, I live in MI.

This is my first post , I will try to be short.

I had a 2000 1500 silverado with 410 gears until yesterday , bought it new .

I have been in the market for a new truck for over a year , and really started to look this past month.

I contacted a few dealers , and drove two 2011 LTs 342 gears , I thought they were nice trucks. I told them I didn't think the 342s had enough guts for what I wanted , I asked to see one with 373 gears , and was told not available, that the 342s would do the job I needed, I was disappointed the answer I got.

I went to kool Chevrolet in Grand Rapids, still looking for something comparable to my old truck, they got the charts out and showed me the 342s would do the job, I told them I was disappointed, then yesterday morning at 10 AM Randy , the salesman at Kool called me asked if I was still interested in a new truck , I told him I would not be interested in what GM had to offer in there 1500 with the 342 gears.

We got to talking and he asked me if I would interested in a max trailering package in the 1500, I told him I didn't know they made one , they didn't have one on the lot , but he would do a search , 15 min later he calls me back and he tells me he found 2 in the state that had what I wanted on it , one was truck was 75 miles away.

So to make a long story even longer, I have a new truck and it will do what ever I need it to do, its a 2011 1500 Silverado with max towing, I drove it home and what a truck it is, alot more powerfull then 342s ,I have been out of the truck buying for quit awhile, Im gald I found Randy at Kool, he is the only dealer that told me about this super truck.

Thought I would share it with you, sorry for the long post.

I felt the 3.42's weren't enought gear either... JMO but obviously I'm not alone. I wouldn't have it any other way. I ordered my truck cause I couldn't find exactly what I wanted with all the options I wanted. Getting the max trailer package gets you the 3.73's and it's a world of difference in my opinion.

Congrats on the new truck.
