2015 Silverado Duramax?

Well this truck ain't happening...Dealers have pretty much gone down the tubes..If that was even possible..Oh well..

What happened?

Got sandbagged on the first truck, a 2500 gas Denali. Called right before I left work, when I got there it was long gone. The goof never checked to see if it was even there before I drove an hour to set the deal..The high country: Been sitting at another location for months. They are buried in it I guess. Mgr asked if I'd buy at 4k below original ask. I said most likely. Said he would call me back. He never did. I eventually called and he basically denied ever making the offer. Bought well into the six figures from this dealer over the years..Done with them now. Their loss, not mine.

Ended up buying a 2016 1500 SLT Z71 All Terrain. Almost 13k off sticker. Not a fan yet of the blackout look thats hot today but the price was right.

Sounds like a very nice truck.

Pics?

 

[timswi]

Cant figure out how to attach on mobile.

I'll try to get a pic of it---Its a GMC 1500 All Terrain X..The one that GMC used as a sales brochure ---All black, wheels and all.

 

[timswi]

A couple of pics anyway..Still getting used to all the black--Time will tell. The wife wants me to get some chrome wheels.

I work at a Chevy dealership and we sell a ton of 1500's. You're right about choosing a good dealer - truck or tractor, same can be said.

Your 1500 looks good. I've been eyeing a Colorado myself as I have a 07 Silverado 1500 and it's always seemed too big for me and my needs. Good truck though.

As for DEF issues, yeah I've heard about a few on the DEF sensors. My advice on buying a diesel though is to make sure your dealer has a couple good diesel mechanics. Our dealership has an excellent mechanic, but only one. It's a good thing the guy doesn't take vacations - heh.

Good to know, thanks.
