no one give him any more stars... its perfect as is

Couldnt tell you how many cars in my inventory are sitting on the dealer auction. Basically its first come first serve with my old age units because that particular vehicle just wasnt right for our market. 

It’s also sportier than it deserves to be.. That EcoBoost and AWD make it a highway champ, and surefooted in the twisties... just wish the amazing seats were a touch wider for my ribs.

I didnt spend the better part of a year with Marines, or have friends in the Corps to not learn a thing or two about how they operate

Now Nav is becoming a option people dont care for anymore... I can plug my phone into a new Denali or whatever and have Google Maps pop up thanks to Android Auto or CarPlay

6.2L Silverado or Sierra with the performance pack... just under 60, 430hp tons of torque, all the cargo space you could want

Thats what hurts you when you are ready to buy your next one... If you paid 40 for a 40 vs 39 for a 45, in 5 years the values of both would be comparable, but one took a bigger hit and seems like it lost more.

Its not just trucks... After what I said earlier I had a couple at my desk looking at a 3LT Traverse (LT trim with Leather) and wanted to be closer to bare bones msrp... 

Some people can stand to wait for their truck to show up, remember we live in the “NOW” times and instant gratification is more important to some people

Actually keep a decent handful on hand of plain jane half ton wt’s and most of my 2500 work trucks are crew cabs with the duramax and maybe a keyfob... we stock stripper trucks because we sell them almost 1:1 to a nice truck

Heres a good one for you, Canyon Denali averages around 45k, literally sitting behind me in a similar configuration is a Sierra Denali and the sticker is 65k. We have a Lariet Ranger FX4 with a sticker of 45k, wanna guess how much the similar F150 is?

If I post a link to a price, its on my yard and I’ve personally had my ass in the seat... cant beat that for confirmation right

I just ran a few quotes for a few different trucks for a local business and the price difference between a Regular cab gas 2wd F250 and a Double Cab gas 2wd GM was 2k. Now between the GMC and Chevy it was a WHOLE lot closer ($150). All 3 had the 8' beds, the Ford being 35k and the Chevy being almost 37 flat. 

Thing with the Colorado and Ranger crew cabs, the back seat space in the Colorado is actually larger than the Ranger. Though the ranger has better seats (aside from the ZR2, I love those seats) the back seat is almost useless. 

Most of my Chevy and GMC twin’s are hovering between 31-35k for a crew cab. 4cyl is a popular choice for fleets and thats about it. Now we did just sell a Colorado Crew Cab (quad cab is a dodge thing not a gm thing) work truck with the “Custom Appearance Pack” and sticker was 31k for a V6 2wd sporty looking truck. 

1st gear, most of the converts from trucks were just going after a look or status symbol. TRUE truck buyers will never go away from one because they use their trucks everyday for everything. Advancements in the tech in trucks has gained them better fuel economy, and this is the big IF, if you dont drive like an

Only Special Orders we do are on Corvettes and HD Work Trucks.. the rest is off the lot.

My dealership, the owner, his wife and the investors have demo’s and outside of the owner and his wife the rest just sit in driveways

Every one I was ever in had GM motors, transmissions and other mechanical bits

But this wont have a torque tube
