So with all the deals going on for the end of the year blowout with GM I did the unthinkable and traded my baby in for a 2012 Silverado! I went into this with the mindset that if i dont get a decent amt. for my 2006 and a good amt. off the new one that I will walk away. And i gotta say it worked out to my advantage! First off the only way I was going to upgrade was to get the 6.2L! I've heard so much about the engine and wanted one before they turned AFM.. Since the AFM gets such great reviews :lol:

Anyway Specs:

2012 Silverado w/ 6.2L , LTZ package, HD Trailering Package, Including 17" rims (Which I wanted so I could keep my Cooper Disc ST MAXX Tires which I just bought), Pretty much every option including Heated and AC black leather Seats! Touch screen Navigation w/ BOSE, Backup cam, Power fold mirrors with turn signals, Spray in bed liner all-ready installed I gotta say this thing is luxury on inside and With the tires make it mean on the outside!

First Mod allready installed was the weathertech floor liners. On order are vent shades, and bug / stone deflector. And will be setting up my appt. soon for tint.

Its funny because Im not use to this new of a truck and how tight everything is! It almost feels like i am driving it too hard at times with steering / gas and brake since i am use to having to man handle my old 06...

 

Here's some pics... But it got messed up quick since i picked it up the day after our storm hit!

And the only inside picture I got was when it was on dealers lot..

Nice truck

 

Why blot it out? By like its credit card or personal information. You drive down the street with hinders to view each day

Very nice! I just bought a Z71 myself, did it come with those tires? How do they sound/ride on the road?

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
