There was a $5005 Factory rebate down here in Phoenix that made it too attractive not to get.

2011 LT extended cab with All-Star package (so 5.3 w/6spd trans)

Gotta love a new truck. Looks sooooo good.

 

[SleeperLS]

Damn dude, that is niceeeee

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Damn girl, that is niceeeee

Fixed.

Yea truck looks nice. 2wd or 4wd?

 

[Mook]

nice!

 

[G_T_O]

Love those trucks!

 

[chris101]

thanks guys

this is 2wd (what we prefer as that is what our 3500 duramax is)

We love how this 5.3 is rated at 21mpg on the highway (same as what our diesel 3500 does without towing) yet the price of regular is much less!

New trucks are stupid

Congrats, very nice purchase, and you will find the 5.3 6/speed very capable

 

[chris101]

^ we might even consider selling our 2001 GMC 3500 duramax if it does well towing the enclosed trailer we intend to buy but for now we are a 2 truck family (gas and diesel)

Should have went darker

 

[chris101]

Black is way to difficult to keep looking fantastic and this deep blue with be hard enough to deal with!

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

truck is nice.. but AZ weather much nicer

 

[EmersonHart13]

How long does it take to drive home?

Huh? I was talking about tint.

 

[chris101]

^ lol.. ah, okay

well, 35% is legal in Illinois so that is what we went with

It will look darker back home in Illinois because the sun is so damn bright here making 35% look lighter in bright sunlight

 

[chris101]

How long does it take to drive home?

It depends on the route we end up taking... Most direct route can be done in 2 days (what my parents do all the time) but they are long days 14+ hours each OR better option that we are taking is 3 days and do some potential sight seeing along the way.

so we made it back home.. poor truck had to see salt and snow with only being 1 week old... good thing is we put extra undercoating while still in 75 degree dry AZ weather!!!
