A Work in Progress

88 is a good yr. I had a 88 extra cab 4x4. been looking to get one again.

 

I'm with ya on that, I've never been a Chevy fan. I'm sure I'll get lots of crap for buying one because I've always been more of a ford/dodge/yota girl. But when my truck got hit a few weeks ago and was in the shop getting body work I got to drive a new Chevy around and I loved it. I just have heard rly bad things about the new half ton dodges, and the new fords cant haul as much. Plus I really liked the way my rental drove. Never thought I'd say it but I really was impressed. I thought about a new 4runner, but I really need a truck for my lifestyle.

 

I would go with a GMC over the Chevy IMO. If I was to go diesel I would def go with the GMC.

 

Yeah, no diesel this round though Headed out tomorrow to get the new truck. Last day with the tacoma, its kinda sad! But I love the new truck. The interior is so nice!

Ill post pics once I pick it up tomorrow. The dealership is taking my tacoma with the pink and all. They are just going to remove it. Less work for me.

Im excited about the new truck but sad to get rid of the tacoma. I already got ideas on how to make this truck a pretty nice mall crawler though

Also been talking to a few friends about eh 1st gen runner. Will probably be happening after the baby is born in a few month. Looks like this thread will get taken over by non taco business!

 

Here is the new beast, 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500 V8 LTZ. Of course its black.

 

I'm just going to speak how i feel right now... I liked the Tacoma better. But what do you expect me to say, honestly?

That being said, that is still a nice looking rig, and I would gladly drive one of those the day when I need a bigger truck. But believe me when that day comes I'll still have a yota in the garage.

 

what did you get on trade in for the yota if you don't mind me asking?

 

ya I hear ya, there will be a yota in the shop in not too long

23k

 

Well shes home! and I cant say Im dissapointed. I loved my yota dont get me wrong, but the way the chevy rides and the interior is SOOO much nicer. I love it.

 

Congrats!

 

Thanks! Probably the saddest part about the new truck is all the Chevy forums suck

 

LOL

Unfortunately true.. you've taken a step down in regards to personalities of owners.

 

No kidding there! Was pretty disappointing!!

 

Well they listed her. Cracks me up that they kept the "YOTA" on the front and the pink bolts. the picture they took makes her look terrible. And they listed her as a base model not SR5. (not that it makes a huge difference but there are some things that they left out like bluetooth) and shes not a short bed Kinda funny, oh well someone will get a good deal. I think they are asking a pretty low price. I still bet they will sit on her for awhile.

Doesn't bother me though, they still gave me a great deal on the trade in and the new truck!

Man that photoshop pic. Lol.

Glad to see you in a better vehicle for your needs!

 

I know it's pretty terrible! They need better photographers! And thanks I love the new truck but miss looking at the yota

 

Holy Shit!! That's awefull. Why so low. I traded mine in last June. I got 30k. How come so low.

 

lol its pretty good considering it had been wrecked 2 times and had almost 70k miles on it. Here in WA they were offering me only 17k. So I took the 23k in ID. I was actually happy with what they gave me for it. They turned around and sold it for 26k a week later.

 

Danggg been awhile since I've been on here... I miss my yota

 

How's the mom life?
