Congrats on the new truck. She's a beauty.

Curious what trailers you're looking at. I'm in the market for a trailer myself.

Yeah the Futura & Aluma Tilt trailers are badass. I found an older Featherlite locally that I might buy. I've been back and forth on aluminum vs. steel -- lighter vs. heavier, more expensive vs. less expensive, etc.

first mods are going to be tint for front windows and remove all the chrome badging and then talk to afe power about some power goodies intake/exhaust etc
Opps, my bad. Is it an Lt with cloth? Good looking truck and I'd slam that 2wd on the ground. A 2/4, 3/5 or 4/6 would look awesome.

Sharp truck.. should have had the dealer include the tint as part of the deal.. thats what I did. They will agree without blinking..


Look at LonestarHawaiian on youtube.. he does a lot of sharp upgrades on his Silverado.. like how to plasti-dip your chrome badging to black.. and so on.

Enjoy your new ride.

Hey congrats on the new Silverado. ��

Yeah I felt like I signed my life away when I bought my 1LE from CarMax. Never in my life have i ever had to sit-listen-sign-initial here for so long and sign so many forms and documents. I'd hate to think how many more forms there would've been had I financed the car. I just bought a 2023 Titan and have to say it did go very smooth with zero games. Got the truck below sticker by a few grand or so plus a substantial discount on a Nissan bug deflector and chrome exhaust tip. We did finance a little through Nissan. That went really smooth and quick as well with no pressure to add extra stuff from the finance officer. Definitely one of the best car buying experience I've had to date. Still a lot more paperwork then the last time I bought a new truck but nothing like with the Camaro. Anyways congrats again on the new ride and enjoy that new car smell. I know I am right now...��

Highly disappointed in the leather quality and would love to choke out the engineer who decided to put the spedo on the left side. What an idiot. Hopefully a future software update allows you to flip it.

As for gas mileage im lucky to get 16 around town and 20 on the highway. I've been getting more like 13 / 17 but nothing beats the storage and capability of a truck for daily life.
went cheap huh?
