Traded in the caddy and picked up a 15 Silverado LTZ Z71 yesterday. Haven't been in a truck since the mid 90's so I need some schooling. Looking for a tonneau cover, tint front windows to match the rears, some kind of sub box etc. I only took a quick cell phone pick, but they all look the same. It's loaded. Is there a decent forum for these bad boys so I could get some ideas?

Thanks

Yeah, it's big change coming from my 2010 CTS. It'll take some getting used to.

Nice truck. Tonneau - get a BAK flip hard folding cover, not cheap but they're worth it. Have fun putting a sub in it, from what I've read it's a fucking nightmare.

As far as forums look at gmfullsize.com and READ READ READ. There are a TON of useless posts on the same topics and there are way too many internet warrior tough guys on there that'll test your patience and they have the "do it my way or it's wrong mentality" BUT there is a lot of really good info on there if you can wade thru thru the stupidity.

Nice! Yeah I originally test drove the base LTZ and it drove nicer than my Cadillac no lie. The Z71 is pretty rough and I really didn't need it, but the badassery factor won me over.

Very sharp looking truck

Bad ass looking truck!

Thanks guys. It's pretty sweet towering over cars and driving higher up. I forgot what it felt like. 3 inch lift might be in the cards.

Anyone know of a good tint shop close to South Elgin? I want to tint the front windows to match the factory backs as my first mod.

Very nice!! Congrats. I have a Truxedo tonneau cover for my truck and love it. It doesn't leak and you can roll it all the way up if you have something big to put in the bed.

Lo-Pro QT?

If so I have the same one and I'll speak for it's quality. It's easy to roll up, can't be opened without opening the tailgate first. It's VERY low profile, less than 1/2" above the rails I'd say. It has adjustable tension screws so it won't sag no matter the weather or if it stretches some. When you do roll it up it doesn't block the rear window and it has two straps to secure it. The only time I've noticed water in the bed is after going through a high-pressure car wash. Took less than an hour to install with 2 people but could easily be done alone. I'd buy it again for sure.

This. I have the truxsport and it's quality is great no leaks except car washes. Only difference is the lower profile, I wish I would've purchased the Lo-Pro

 

[BeerOrGasoline]

The truxsport is like $200 cheaper, but the Lo-Pro looks a lot cleaner. $289 vs $489



I actually wanted the Deuce with the tonneau mate tool box but that's $525+$300. Didn't feel like spending that much.
