It was a loaded crew cab for $43K. Black with 20" rims. This truck looks so much better in person than on small internet pictures. The bulged fenders really look good and give the truck a lot more character. The 900 Crew cab looks a lot more natural than the 800 Crews. The 800 just never looked like it was meant to be a crew cab. (I felt the same way about the S-10 vs Colorado).

The only thing I'm not sure I like is the roof rails on a crew cab truck. I like the Avalanche and most SUVs better with them, but I'm still not sure how I feel about them on the Silverado. I don't dislike them like the ones on the Nissan Frontier. I guess I'll have to wait and see if they grow on me.

Over all this thing is a great looking truck and a nice improvement over last generation as far as looks go. Even though from those first internet pics I thought it looked too much like the 99-02 Silverado in person it looks very different. A very nice progression of the Chevy full size truck styling.

 

The panel gaps, all the way around, is what gets me. They really 'look' premium now where the 800 never could. You could start a river in the 800's hood gaps. All 3 versions.

 

$43k?!
I could never fathom spending that on a truck.

 

Try Canada. That'd be a bargain.

 

Chevy Tahoe at the Chevy dealer in nearby Serremonte Ca.

Going for over $48K. About a grand less than the new Corvette parked nearby.

Not talking about an Escalade, Land Rover, or even a Denali.

I'm talking about a frigging Chevy truck.

$48K.

There was at least 1 new Cadillac sedan next door that cost less!

 

I sat in a mid-model Sierra, cloth seats, LT interior... Pretty impressive, considering my dad's 06 Duramax interior was the more expensive model with Bose and all of that, and it now looks like a WT interior.

Dealer also has like 3 Chevy's, but they had just got them in(moved and combined their Pontiac GMC Buick with Chevy Cadillac) and hadn't gotten around to cleaning them up. I asked salesman about the sliding bed system, but he couldn't tell me much as of yet.

I will be back around there in the next few days.

 

never seen one yet but i like the looks

 

I cant wait to see one in person

 

That's the thought that crossed my mind.

 

I was at a dealer monday, 52k for a tahoe.

Saw a new Silverado, looked it over for about 10 minutes but none of the sales staff would come out. Then I looked at several trailblazers then the tahoe. I could see them looking out at me but they wouldn't come out. And people wonder why they can't sell anything.

 

High Demand = High Price
Low Demand = Low Price
