@BoostN, nice looking truck, I hope it works out for you. What is the name of that color? My 2006, 2500HD is a Greystone Metallic, I do like gray or silver colors. I have had two red trucks but it seems like the grey or silver ones appeal more to me.

Satin Steel Metallic. My favorite color on a GM truck ever.. along with Graystone of course.

Ahh, but that rain isn’t enough for all the trees so snow comes with it. And with the snow comes the salt...
Desert= no tree because no rain or snow. None of that means no rust.

Just the alkali salt flats of all the dry lake beds to dust your vehicles with when you drive on/across them!

A good friend bought one of these in GMC trim Saturday. Anxious to see how it goes for him.

 

[BIGR]

Oh yea, great looking truck, that color would be one of my choices. I also am very interested to see what kind of performance and what fuel mileage is the truck capable of?

 

[RI Chevy Silveradoman]

Nice Mike. Looks Iike it's a V8...

Hell, that's better than my combined City/Highway 80/20% normal tank of gas average 22.5 mpg in my 2005 2.4L Camry!

 

[RI Chevy Silveradoman]

Wow. That's great Jeff.

 

[btfarm]

His 1st tank as hand calculated was 25.6 mpg at 546 miles.

Their proud of this one at that price.

 

[BoostN]

Mine is leather package, and I gave around 52K + tax. That one has 14K on it.. you can get a new one for around the same price. But, you have to find it.. give it a few months, with the 2022's coming out they will get a bit cheaper.

Your mileage still, 25mpg plus?

 

[BoostN]

Yep, Fully link in my sig shows average of 26 overall. All hand calculated of course.

Is it close to the Computer readings?

 

[BoostN]

Is it close to the Computer readings?

Honestly, I don't pay attention to the computer readings. The menu screen shows speed and range, and I keep it there.

 

[RI Chevy Silveradoman]

I hear you. Lol

 

[BoostN]

I hear you. Lol

I've always been tuned as well, so I really didn't trust them anyways from those days. I'm taking a 400 mile trip this weekend so we'll see how she does!

 

[RI Chevy Silveradoman]

Nice. Enjoy your trip Jeff.
