My 2008 Vortec Max was a dealer trade truck. I could not find one anywhere on the local lots. My dealership found the exact one I wanted but it was 500 miles away. I made sure they did not drive the truck, I wanted new with no miles, that was the deal. When the truck showed up, it had 550 miles on it and they said they had to drive it. I walked away from that dealership and had to go to another that actually had a truck loaded on a flat bed and delivered, just like I had asked. I didn't want someone beating on the truck on the way top the dealership.

Haha that's funny. It doesn't matter one bit if it has miles on it when you buy it. Well not like 5000. But the warranty and everything starts from the current miles, and I have never seen a dealership thrash a truck. Maybe some high end sports car but not a truck. :fingersx:

Warranty does not start from the miles on the truck - it ends at 36k. Your dealer may be willing to cut you slack if you're 20 miles over and they know the truck had 100 miles on it when you bought it. But, as far as GM goes, it ends at 36k.

 

You have to realize that the person driving your truck is NOT a general dealership employee - they are almost always folks that work part time specifically to do dealer swaps and similar things.

ember that is not true trust me. The warranty specifically ends 36K miles from the miles on the truck from the day of purchase. I know, who do you think I work for? Hehehe

I bought my mats at autoanything.com they offer 20% almost all the time and free shipping. I got my Weatherbeaters front and back with full back coverage for $167.00 shipped.

I got my set like that for $160 shipped via eBay, and another $45 for the center hump piece for the front. The deals are definitely out there, and it's a much higher quality mat than I had expected based on previous experience with them (they always protected very well, but were susceptible to curling along the edges - the new ones are much better!).

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.

      Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.

      Let's pivot this back. Someone said they wanted pictures.   Even better, there's already video. Pre-prod prototypes are already on the road and they're letting the press drive them.   JerryRigEverything did a good review. I really enjoy his content and EV adventures, so I was thrilled when he had the chance to review a Slate:

      The Charger EV was stillborn. Wrong car at the wrong price for Dodge's intended audience. Now at a good price with fire-sale discounts, and still not selling, it's still very much the wrong car. Again, Dodge's intended audience. I believe a lot of Stellantis' EV blunders were all under Tavares' regime at Stellantis...the board convinced him to move on. Neat car, just wasn't received on the level that would sustain mass production.   Dodge is headed in a better direction for its core business. I didn't think there was anything left to get excited about re: the Durango after its 15 year run, but they're just now releasing a 392 version that should price out in the low 40's. Nicely done. I'm not sure I would touch anything Stellantis makes with a 10' pole these days, but the Durango is still mostly parts designed like 3 parent companies ago so maybe it's still OK?
