New 2015 Hot Red Crew cab Z-71. Picked up today. This is not the one I ordered one 3 weeks ago, but didn't look it would be here by march 2nd. I needed it by March 2nd in order to redeem my 3K worth of GM points. So I found this one at different dealer. These trucks are moving fast here in Northeast.

Traded in 2014 Silverado Double Cab. The Colorado looks some much better.

I traded in 2014 Silverado and had 3K on GM Card points, so the price of Colorado is hard to determine. I would say about 1,200 off sticker and a fair amount for trade. But the 3K in GM points really made the difference.

The 2014 Silverado double cab really took a big loss in approx. 1.5 years. The nearly 10K in rebates on 14's really hurt the re-sale of Silverados.

These are the only pics I have right now, just got it last night.

I have a GM card with 4,500 on it, but my max allowance is 1,500. How did you manage to get 3,000? I have 2014 Silverado that I really like, but the Colorado might be a better fit for me. Our local dealer has a loaded red one, the MSRP is over 39,000.

Don't now how I got the offer. Topped us off to 3K.

There are several different types of GM cards, had this card for years.

There is also an additional 500 loyalty rebate since you have a Silverado.

The 1500 with rebates may be a little cheaper. 2014 model anyway

I only have around 400 miles on Colorado and average is approx. 20mpg.

Silverado was approx. 18mpg. (some people say there Silverado gets 20 or above)

About 2 mpg would be a fair estimate, at least for my driving habits. Both of my estimates are Winter driving results.

Thanks, my 2012 does about 14.5 mpg in winter and 16 mpg in summer around town. Been thinking about trading for a Colorado if I can work out a decent trade.

      3.59 Kroger’s in Montgomery Tx. 20 cents higher than most around here. Very unusual. Saturday they were 3.49.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Starting at 17 running parts for my father’s construction business to haul our equipment. Eventually doing shows, sales and training after purchase. I drove a minimum of 50K miles a year. Half hauling something. After retiring 30K miles a year to the last 2 years 15K miles a year. 2/3rds highway driving. The major contribution to fatigue for me is from anticipation and awareness. I just don’t relax. Too many idiots on the road. There’s two kinds. The group that never leave the left lane tied together afraid to let anyone in doing 80. They’re mostly on weekends. Then the left lane sleepers usually next to a tractor trailer not advancing. Eventually the tractor trailer will drift over the sleeper will wake up. The train moves and the tailgaters who are usually mad as hell. You definitely don’t want to mix with them. The tail wagging bumper puller’s with under powered trucks are holding the tractor trailer up. That bunch are dangerous. I usually pace ahead all that. Unless there’s a gap when I can chill and let the speeders pass. I tried all different types of driving. I stay to the right except to pass, it’s the law that’s getting in forced more now because of road rage. I was so happy when my wife didn’t want to do the camping life. I had enough of pulling for work. The family has a bus and fifth wheel. I haven’t driven either one since retiring. No thanks.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yesterday a suggested youtube video thumbnail caught my attention so I watched through it and it was a bunch of short clips someone gathered together of people pulling trailers, a lot of them were bumper pull holiday trailers and a pickup or suv pulling it. a few fifth wheels as well, some motorhome crashes also. The tail wagging the dog theme was quite evident in numerous self inflicted accidents that took out vehicles around them sometimes in the process as the unit finally swung around and flipped over in the middle of the highway. Or the other classic which literally could be called "I forgot the trailer was back there" in passing another vehicle on a multi lane one way freeway and then cutting back in line before the back of the rv trailer had passed the front of the passed vehicle and often in front of a tractor trailer and that never ended well. Or the wide kick out swing of the rear of a long travel trailer as they have so much overhang behind the axles and the trailer smashes into the side of vehicles in the next lane over ( typically sharp turns in city driving ). It makes one leery for good reason to be near an RV trailer after watching a video like that and be it on the highway, in town, or at a gas station where that rear end comes swinging around due to the fuel station being so cramped and not intended for larger trailers. I wonder how many officers have heard those words though "I forgot it was back there" as they investigate the accident LOL.

      Just because a person can buy a travel trailer or a motorhome doesn't mean they can drive it properly. My observation during my RVing years.
