I got a 4 door truck because I have a baby,


If you want the newest body style in a gm truck wait until 2014 there suppose be changing up there trucks both in powertrain/engine and in looks. But if your going to get a 2007-2013 get either a 4.8 or 6.2, forget the afm. Afm=oil consumption, don't get the 5.3.


I dont like the AFM either , If I ever get it, I will get it tune out, I heard bad thing about it.

Im getting a 2012 truck 4 door truck, mabe when new body style out and if I like it, I just trade it in for it. Also I think the thread is done, mod can close this

thanks for all commend, and have a wonderful day.

Chances are, no matter what you decide to buy, or when you decide to buy it, you're going to get taken for a bunch of money by the car dealership.

I'm basing this on reading a good deal of your posts since you joined our forum.

I would recommend you just get a lower performance version of whatever vehicle you really like. I would recommend a V-6 version of the Camaro, with a manual transmission. Save yourself some money on the purchase, the insurance, and on gasoline.

But, you're not going to listen to us anyway, so no point getting too involved.

BC.

[censored] Dave, why you gotta be so harsh?lol.

I agree with Dave, I love gm trucks but that thing is ugly, I love them stock. That lift and oversized tires are gonna kill your gas mileage and rob you of power, hardcore! I guarantee the dealership just threw all those mod's on there and called it good, your gonna want to re-gear your rearend when you realize that truck is all looks and no power.

I see couple truck from chevy dealer around here, having their truck jack up , I will ask them install everything and make everything right and the way I want, so I can keep the warranty. If they deline my warranty because im done some mod to suspention. then that something I need to rethink. But I know GM racing part, install by dealer will not void warranty. I will talk to the seller about everything before I sign the paper.

Quoted for truth

 

[artificialist]

I'd rather have an Ecoboost Ford F150 than any Chevy Silvarado.

 

[hattaresguy]

I'd hold out on a Silverado, that's what I doing with my 05. I don't really like much about the new bloated body style, to heavy and lots of little mistakes.

I'm waiting to see how the 2014's look.

 

[ArrestMeRedZ]

I've got the 2011 4WD extended cab 5.3 Silverado. The only time it's in 4 or 6 cyl mode is when it's coasting to a stop, or going downhill with my foot off the gas. It gets 14 mpg around town, and 18-21 on the road, depending on how much of a hurry I'm in.

I have a number of friends with the 4.8, and that configuration is inferior in every way - power, fuel economy, etc.

I also had a couple of 2500 trucks with the 6.0. My mileage with the half ton 5.3 is 30-40% better.

I'd recommend the 5.3. Tune out the AFM if it worries you.

I got mine about 11 months ago. Ended up with it about $10k under list, with the incentives, discounts and whatnot.

My Z-28 has now become my fun car, and since I don't have to use it as a daily driver, I can afford to have it down for mods (if I ever get the time). I'd recommend against getting a performance car for a daily driver with the number of miles you will be driving. I'd also recommend against that wheel package in the truck you showed - you are going to hate that package on the freeway.

 

[supton]

The 4.8's, what rear gear do they have? 3.23's are going to be lousy; the towing package should get much better 3.42's. A 5.3 with 3.42's (or better, or the 6 speed auto) is going to be very nice. A 4.8 with the 6 speed and 3.42 or 3.73 is a combo that I don't understand why GM doesn't make.

 

[jimmy87]

5.3 is available with 6 speed 3.08 or 3.42, 4.8 does not/is not offered with a 6 speed, 4.8 is paired with 4l60e and is available with 3.23 or 3.73. If you ask me a z71/5.3 with 3.08 rear end is a joke, but they defend it with their 6 speed tranny, whatever. My old mans 97 z71 has a 5.7 with 3.73 and a 4 speed, I like that. I have a 2011 4.8 with 3.23 although not a power house I know I'll get many years and miles out of it, I don't attempt to peel tires (it can't by the way), I do very little towing, and I only floor it when necessary, I love my Sierra!
I do use it as a truck, I've had to move my family and my self a couple times since my return from Iraq, a truck is a must for me!

After reading this statement, I'd consider spending the money on improving your grammar and spelling.

 

[dparm]

Why not take something like a one or two year old CTS-V? Sedan is still blisteringly fast but very usable on a day-to-day basis.

 

[MetalSlug]

thanks for all opinion, as soon im back to dallas, I will go into looking for red Silverado 4 door 6.0L or duramax or new body style dodge cummins diesel ASAP.

I have to come clean to you guys

, its for my birthday present.
