Couldn't be happier w/LT Z71 5.3


Recommended Posts

Just wanted to say that I, for one love my new 2019 LT Z71 Silverado. 

She just keeps getting better and better it seems. 

Just got back from a trip today and, the ride quality was silky smooth.  The handling and response from the throttle is like a sports car. To me anyways!  When I went to get a new Silverado, I really had no idea what I was in store for. For all I knew they were the same as the year before. 

Alls I knew, is that I was coming from an 07 Classic, with 270k miles. And, I love the truck. I also had a 2003 Silverado. Well, when I got there, I couldn't believe just how nice and better the new 2019 Silverado is! Sits up an inch and a half taller I think, has the biggest cab it's ever had, the styling, especially the front end is just so dam cool. The interior- I love it. The cluster gauge to me, is nice and clean. Nothing too fancy, and I love that. The back up camera is great. And, I already mentioned just how good the ride and performance is to me.  So, in a nutshell, I am extremely happy I wound up with a 2019.

So, just gonna end by saying Good Job GM!!

Glad you like it! Yours looks sharp, that color is sweet!

Thank you!

I know that's not the most flattering pic.

Gonna get her ceramic coated next week.

I really love the color.

They did a great job with this pickup, despite what others may think on here. I’ve owned and repaired GMs for many years and they did good on the construction.

You mighty right they did. It's a fine truck imo.

Thank you.

Huh? Have you never ridden in a car, any car in the last 10 years even say an accord or camry? They all handle better than the truck.

 

If you think it handles good now, try putting some Bilstein 5100's on it. Apparently then it will handle like it is on rails and even more like like a sports car (think Camaro 1LE or ZR1 Corvette with Track Package)!

Lol, I should've been more clear

However, Tyler, I did say " to me" it wasnt a blanket statement

I meant as compared to my 07 classic with 268000 miles. 

Btw, any idea when  Bilstein shocks will be ready?

And, just look over me Tyler.

I hadn't had a new vehicle in so long lol..

One other thing I did do.....I got some Chrome lettering that says CHEVROLET for the tailgate.

I got the domed version. 

And, I got a Z71 badge for the grille

Yes sir. DFM 5.3

Got it for $38,750

Sticker was $49,750

I feel very good about the price.

Especially considering we paid $35,000 for my wife's Toyota Highlander Limited in 2011.
