Good looking truck. I think the Silverado redesign was a good one, Congrats. Here's to thousands of miles of enjoyment.

That new chevy front end still hasn't quite grown on me haha. Great truck nonetheless - enjoy

Is it? Not by my standards. Brand new truck and it seems like they just benchmarked the old generations of ford and ram to equal. I find it odd that the new generation still falls to third behind the new ram then the 2015 f150. Once The new tundra comes out new year and the new f150, it will be 3 yrs old and last among the half ton truck market... great? I don’t think so mediocre at best.

It was great when it came out in 2007, changed since except mild updates.

I will never buy a GM vehicle till the day I die. I am still bitter on that POS 1986 Chevy Camaro Z-28 with TPI. It was a lemon and GM was worthless on fixing issues. I don’t care if they made improvements over the last 30 years.

I owned a 2002 Tacoma, 2005 Tundra and 2008 Ram and if I ever would switch away from Ford, it would be back to Toyota. I never had an issue.

Congrats though on just getting a new truck, that is always a nice day.

Getting closer to 40 now so all my relationships come with a standard prenup and crazy clause. if your nuts....i'm out ha ha

Actually I knew my wife was "the one" when one day, while we were still dating, she told me very matter-of-factly that, "All women are crazy. You just need to find one whose psychosis you can live with." This was incredibly insightful. Eighteen years later she's still the one.

Thanks brother, If i could have afforded California Prices for a Raptor, since mine was limping and I needed a truck ASAP i would have stayed in a Raptor. I really like this truck though and just have to realize I cant jump this one like I did my Raptor.

Can’t blame you too much - Raptor isn’t a towing vehicle.

Yeah man, If i wasn't doing my side hustle of delivering trailers than I wouldn't have even considered the change but overall it is working out well. I am just glad i get to see all the good stuff still on this forum and follow everyone as they mod their Raptors.

I respect your opinion on this. Chevy seems to scrimp and save on a lot of their truck upgrades which will always leave them chasing Ford and Ram. I do like a lot of the things they included but if they would include everything Ram and Ford did on their equivalent models then they would compete a lot better.

I give a lot of credit to Dodge for trying to compete with the Raptor. They aren't there yet but at least they keep trying.
