another silver XLT :)


Finished the deal this morning, it's 2 wheel drive, 302A package , trailer tow and locking rear end. We drove a Tacoma, Colorado and Ranger.
I am not brand loyal. The Toyota wasn't even in the running, outdated, felt like I was sitting on the floor and over priced. I really liked the Colorado Z71, about as much as the Ranger but none of the local chevy dealers had much in stock and very little corporate or dealer incentives at this time. Ford and a local dealer had good incentives . The ecoboost has nice power! I like the sport option , not a big fan of chrome . Great seats (front) and the back is better and roomier than I thought it would be .

I like the way the 2wd trucks sit on the mid size trucks. They are not low to the ground like back in the ole days. Nice looking truck. Love the silver and black. Congrats on getting a new truck!

Looks awesome. I like the flush top canopy, and the step bars look great.
