Post Pics of Your 2014+

[TXGREEK]

Been a Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep driver for the past 17 years.  Had a 2004 RAM 2500 quad cab diesel 4x4 that I just sold a couple years ago.  Got into a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Hemi.  Was a nice vehicle for the past 4 years, but at 102,000, was time to trade her in (besides, I want my truck back!).  Wasn't happy with the reviews of the 2018 RAM, so I've decided to give GM a chance again.  Just got her three days ago.

You’ll love your new truck especially with the 6.2

Thanks.  I'm not ashamed to say I like Dodge trucks, that 2500 diesel was the best truck I've ever had (so far).  In the 12+ years I had it (even after lifting it 6" and adding 35" tires), the only thing I ever had to do to it was replace one brake caliper, replace 1 u-joint (I did replace the others when I put on the lift though just to be sure), replaced brake pads, and the little gear housing on one of the power seat motors cracked ($68 replacement off ebay).  That's it.  I really hated selling it, but had some financial struggles at the time and needed the money, or I'd still have it.

 

I'd love nothing more than to get a shiny new Ram 2500 Cummins diesel again, but good lord, I can't justify $65,000 for a truck (over $70,000 if you get some creature comfort goodies).  I can buy a decent little house here in PA for that!

 

I will say this about my new Silverado though, so far I'm loving it, and as far as looks go, I think it's the nicest looking truck I've ever bought in terms stock out of the dealer.  I don't look at it and immediately start running a list of a lot of mods and changes I want to make to it.  I want a tonneau cover and to clear bra the front end.  I'm on the fence about a 2" level kit.  And I am considering the little plug in device to remove the pedal delay, but now that I'm getting used to it, it doesn't bother me much.

 

One thing that I was concerned about was the offset steering (I'm a little OCD) and things like that typically bother me.  It is a non issue, not even really noticeable unless you sit there and look for it.  In fact, having the wheel slightly to the right is actually a little more comfortable since I drive with my right handle a lot.

 

While I do miss my big Ram diesel, I don't think this Chevy is going to disappoint. 

 

You’ll get over the offset steering wheel pretty quick cause all you’re going to think about now are all the things you’re going to do with your awesome new truck. I did the 2” front billet aluminum upper and lower and 1” in the rear.

The GMC looks like it drove through an ugly tree that had fallen over, and then reversed over it for good measure. I haven't seen something that ugly since the Aztec.

Oh man the aztek was hideous. I dont know what was going through their mind approving that p.o.s

Nice truck, looks like you barely cleared that curb. I always preferred lowering a bit for handling.

You are right it barely clears most of them. And it handles like a dream

It's funny how opinions differ.  Everyone I've talked to so far about the new '19 Chevy and GMC have raved about how great they look, how much improved they are over the ugly-ish '16 style Silverado, and all that.  I've yet to hear a negative comment...until the posts in this thread. lol

I’d stick with the old body styles unless they came out with this

Luckily for people like me they are continuing to build the current Gen under the Silverado LD 2019 and the Sierra limited 2019 I believe tell sales run low.

Clean truck and sunny day, that combo doesn't happen often up here.

Hauled the boat out to the lake house.  Pulled awesome and had plenty of passing power at 75mph.  I averaged 9.8mpg on rolling hills, which was not as good as I hoped.
