Maybe I'll get a new truck...

Shaners · June 20, 2001

I've been dealing on an 1500HD and am very close to a fair price... It's an "LT" model 4x4 and is absolutely LOADED!!! It would be the perfect truck for my family (3 kids and my wife) and it should tow my '32 travel trailer fairly well.

The problem is one of my motorcycles will have to be sold... (bummer), but "she" says so...

The upside is that the bike I would sell ('98 KLR 650 Dual Sport) hasn't been ridden since last year, so maybe I don't really need it anyways...

I'll let you know if the deal goes through... I called GM to send me the supplier discount form #1753 and it should get here by the end of the week... I'm guesing next week some time I may be driving a 1500HD.

Sounds cool!

I'm counting the odometer on my truck as it reaches the magic number 36,000. ;)After that........

Keep one thought in mind, you can only ride one motorcycle at a time. Get the truck, you'll thank yourself.

Are you going to keep your topper and have it repainted? That would look sweet of the 1500HD.

Sorry, Since this involves an HD, I think it should go to the HD Forum. Thanks.

About 4k left! Not sure yet what its going to be. TrailBlazer or Avalanche. Both are about the same price

:(Choices, choices!

After some moderator talk several of us decided the 1500HD goes in the light duty forum, General agreed so I'm moving it there.

The dealer is trying to locate a light pewter truck for me... if he can't find one then I'll probably get the carmine red because it matches the stripes on my trailer. I'll keep the cap and the bedrug and the FIPK and have the cap repainted to match...

I hope everything falls into place...

Looks like our moderators are having a location crisis

Just kidding! Geez...

I would definitly sell the bike for a nice truck like that. But if it was me, I would go with the carmine red in a heartbeat over the pewter....

carmine red in a heartbeat over the pewter....

Heck, ya all I ever see is pewter. I think carmine and Charcoal are the best colors available. I am beginning to like Polo Green, but my all time favorite is still White. I wish Ford or Gm would put a RED interior back in.

Shaners · June 21, 2001

I agree there are pewter trucks everywhere, but we're having a hard time locating one that is an "LT". I may have found one in Pittsburgh on GMBuypower.

The Carmine red one I drove was very nice, but with only 3 miles on the odometer, it looked dirtier than my pewter truck that hadn't been washed in 6 weeks and 1000 miles....
