125 days later including the delivery train hit by a tornado its final


Recommended Posts

Posted

Finally took delivery today of my 2017 CCSB 6.2 max tow. Ordered it back late October and Chevy picked up the order Nov 3, Other than being a little slow it was uneventful until it was built and shipped. Trying to track it for more than a month I finally got a call from my buddy who is my salesman saying this was going to be the weirdest conversation he had ever had to have. He indicated GM had notified the dealership that there had been a partial train derailment and that my truck had made it to Michigan but was being held for a quality control inspection. I did a little Googling and did end up finding out the train was hit by a tornado in Thrall Tx and it derailed 12 autoracks . My salesman said their dealership had 3 vehicles that GM ended up buying back as they were damaged. I got lucky and mine had no issues. Couple shots of it at the dealer next to the 14 6.2 max to it replaced and one after I got back at my shop. Just got done installing the fold a cover and hope to swap out the factory rubber with some Cooper Zeons in the next few days

Love the stance from the side. Great grill/bumper comparison - looks like a 2500 compared to the 2014 - tough looking......

 

I just have to imagine it in Siren red for now........

Nice!

 

I like both the 14 and 17!

 

6.2 + max tow = excellent choice!

Congrats !! Nice to see some more chrome out there! HAHA

Very nice!

Exact same one I got in August.

For what it's worth I ordered mine in March as a 16 and had to reorder the end of May as a 17 since they hadn't built it yet. Patience wasn't my strong suit either!

Glad you stuck with the right color!
I do hope you do get rid of some chrome though, those towing mirrors don't look good shiny
