Sold The Silverado And Went To The Dark Side

[K1500Tech]

I've been working for a Toyota dealer since last November and noticed that not every other truck on the lift has a transmission or rear end out of it like when I was working at a Chevrolet dealer. My Silverado had been at the dealer for one too many times for warranty work so I jumped ship.

how did you get pictures of it on 4/25/2011 when today is the 20th?

 

do you have a time machine you have failed to disclose to us?

Nice truck man.

Congrats, Hopefully it serves you well

That is a nice looking TuRD. LOL I hate the TRD sticker because it always makes me say Turd instead. No in all serious though that is a very nice looking truck. If I had my 2005 in the shop all the time for warranty repairs, I'd have probably traded it for a foreign truck over Ford or Dodge simply because I am not a fan of those two. So how does it drive? Power? Any complaints yet?

Looks good, just take off that TRD Warrior decal. It looks stupid to me, but other than that I like the truck.

To be honest I haven't warmed up to the looks of the Tundras yet. But the Toyota's are making some really good vehicles. A lot of people will gripe and complain because it is a Japan based company, but the cold hard truth is that these things are almost always outlasting the competition. A least the older ones. The big Tundra didn't come out till like '06 or '07 I think. Time will tell. Keep us updated on it man.

So far it has a tighter turning radius, more horsepower, gobs of storage, and has a good fit and finish. The bad so far I'm getting not as good gas mileage, the ride is rougher, the sheet metal is thinner, and radio sounds like crap.

I didn't like the looks of them at first but it grew on me. I felt the same way for the Silverado too. On the other hand the looks of the GMC looks awesome out of the box. Even though they are a Japanese based company they build the trucks in San Antonio, Tx.

Not a bad looking truck but I can't get past the over inflated look, it just looks a little "off" to me. Hope you don't have any issues with it like you did with your Chevy.

Is that a Herbie in your hitch reciever?

 

Really nice looking truck. Hope it treats you well.

[old-chevy-dude]

I like them, several major options missing for the price IMO, and the seats are horrible, (too flat for my disabled ass)..

 

but not a bad truck.. I'd take one for free as long as it came with accidental acceleration insurance..

Good luck with the new truck man!
