An extreme minority vs the fashion statement crowd that demands 'car' attributes
over 'ability'
Knew that when ordering my 1996 8.6K GVWR Suburban...dealers/sales
people kept on pitching the number of cup holders and ride quality.
They didn't know the difference between a 'half ton' and a '3/4 ton'
All of those salesman walked over from the 'car' side of the showroom
to service me. Had deposits at several dealerships (SUV's were a hot
item then) and when they started coming in...all half tons and they
truly did NOT know the difference, plus that the contract stated an
8,600 GVWR (I insisted that the write that)
Ordered mine from a semi-truck broker who also sold cars and light duty trucks
That salesman really knew his stuff and actually called the area whomever trying
to special order a manual for me, but they all told him not allowed.
To that PM asking why I dissed the GMT900...well just my preference. As dislike
the 1K tongue limit on such a magnificent vehicle...and gone is the truck attributes
Hidden in ride quality stuff...and yes, am on the extreme minority there too
Love all of my four vehicles. My first brand new car...a 2 seater rocket and still
have it. That one I'll keep forever. Between the 7 seat mini van, Silverado and
the Suburban...I'd keep the Suburban. Will also keep the S65 that is
on order a looong time
Again, speaking to the choir...as most do not understand the difference between
all half ton vs an 8.6K GVWR Full sized SUV
Hope you all keep yours a loooooooooong time, as there is nothing out there
except for Bryan's 1 ton full sized van and if my Sub should get totaled that
is what I'm going to replace it with
