I too hate the knobs. Not because they are chrome but because I paid 70,000 for a truck and got plastic knobs? WTF..... Plastic looks and IS so cheap......

$70K?

 

Damn, you got robbed.

Nice truck! I understand when trees block your view of the forest.  If the finish on the knobs is preventing you from enjoying your truck then pay the money to replace them.  If  buying the truck has

I don’t think it’s so much that they are made of plastic, but by trying so hard to make them look like machined aluminum, they skipped the grippy rubber coating you’d find even on an economy car of 10

I agree.  I can also understand that the colour of the buttons/lights/trim on the dash of your vehicle can be less than optimal for your personal (subjective) tastes. Blaming this on the price of your vehicle is a bit of a head scratcher.  I find that focusing on the big picture keeps me from fixating on the trivial stuff.   

This is what happens when people overextend themselves.

 

They buy too much truck for their income level, then buyers remorse sets in when they realize they have to curtail their standard of living for the next 5-8 years (LOL, taking an 8yr loan on a vehicle) and they start looking for things to bitch about.

 

Hell, one guy the other day didn't think the leaf springs on a brand new truck should do leaf spring things.

I find it to be a funny that some of you people assume that because we mentioned the cost of the truck that we can't afford it and cry wolf after. LOL 

 

I paid cash for my truck I don't need a loan if you need one that's great for you. Wish you were in a better financial situation.
 

Not all comments are about being able to afford it, the comment is based on when you spend that much money you expect a little better quality. Especially when other production lines of the same manufacturer do offer it.

I doubt the "quality" is different between Silverado and Sierra knobs.  If money isn't an issue then it sounds like switching to Silverado knobs solves your problem with the chrome colour.  Remember to take before and after pictures for those following your thread.

It’s actually my thread, but I’d love pics if Taz switches them out. This was supposed to be a simple thread, yet again on this site, just asking what others have done if they weren’t happy with the rings. Of course it’s getting off topic with how much you paid, making fun of people, etc.... 

 

was just curious if people that weren’t happy about the chrome did anything, and if so, what they did... simple....

You can spend cash and still overextend yourself.

 

 

If the knobs are such an issue then why did you buy the truck in the first place?

 

Would you have bought a ridgeline if it had really really nice knobs?

I am certainly not one of those people.

 

I did what I did and I'm failing to see why it's any of your concern, or why it's any of your concern what I'm happy with or not happy with. You're not offering objective advice you're criticizing my comments, and honestly I could care less for your opinion at this point.
 

There was a thread posted by someone else, I agreed and I posted. I'm done with this thread you have yourself a great day

Fair enough, that is true I said that. Sticker price was 70, but if I said I got a deal it takes away from the comment. But thank you for being the posting police good sir. Wear your badge with pride.

I never said you were one of those people, yet you took up a defensive position behind the thought.

 

Why is that?

 

 

You did post on a public forum for people to read, correct?

 

Who are you to tell people what, when or why they are to respond on a public forum?

 

Seems like you are the one wanting to be the posting cop.

 

Grow some skin.

For a tool like you I will come back. You obviously wanted me to as you quoted me on here knowing I would get a notification. So here is your reply.

 

Yes I am on a public forum. But most people (like myself) come to places like these for advice, idea's, bounce thoughts around, find a good deal on parts, figure out how to DIY and to maybe find something they never thought to ask. Then there are trolls and idiots that either are having a slow day or maybe they have shitty lives and they have nothing better to do that turn the post or comment 180 degrees for their own enjoyment.  For example me saying that for what I paid I expect more than something that looks so cheap and it got turned into comments about affording the truck LOL. 

 

Anyways. How did you say it "Grow some skin" LOL... are you 10?

 

Take care and all the best. I really do hope you enjoy your truck they are a great truck (with some cheaply made parts inside).
