Got a new truck

[jujububbajr]

Just bought a new 2014 Silverado 2500hd with 6.0 vortec. I got a really good deal on it with the GM supplier discount. It's just a plain work truck with the HD trailering package. Steel wheel, vinyl floor and seats with power door locks. My son laughed when he saw you have to roll the window down. He's 14 and this is the first vehicle he's seen that doesn't have power windows. 🙂 Its just a simple truck and I love it.

Mine is white as well but not a work truck. Fortunately the dealer & I used to be neighbors and he pin striped it for free and it really dressed it up. He also put in real wheel liners so there wasn't so much white showing behind the wheels and I was shocked how much it helped the "plain jane" looks.

I ordered my current truck as the base model (XL in Ford) and just added the options I wanted. Came out much cheaper and I don't need a luxury truck. Love the vinyl floor but did splurge for the powered locks and windows.

The only thing I hate is the vinyl seats. Hot in the summer and damn cold in winter.

A set of decent seat covers will fix that and protect the seats too.

I went out shopping for a work truck but got seduced. To top it off, I bought $220 worth of vinyl floor mats to cover up the carpet that I paid extra for. Uggg!

I did buy white. I was worried about it showing dirt, but it hides it better than any other color I've owned.

Enjoy!

That is a nice looking truck. I also own a work truck and love it. The prices for new trucks are crazy. My wife and I paid 25 thousand for our first home....you can not touch a new truck for that today.

Nice!! Congrats. I too like the "bare bones" trucks. My favorite truck was my '79 GMC, it was even a standard trans. Loved that truck, I am always comparing it to my newer trucks. It was the one that I owned the longest also- 21 years. some guys stole it one night-but I got it back. enjoy that new ride. Cheers, John.

Love it, that is my truck only 12 years newer. I have an 02 with 35,000 miles on it. No options, not even power door locks. Just use it to tow.

Well, you are one up on us with the power door locks.:B Your first trip should be a blast, let us know how it goes. Ours is a plain build too but does what we need it to. Power locks and windows would be nice in such a large cab.

Looks like a jewel... :B

I've had so many power window motors go out over the years that I wished I'd had manual windows.

As for the St. Bernard. My dad had a very old, large dog. He actually built the dog a ramp that it could walk up to get in the back door. It worked perfectly.

Very nice truck, but I love your St. Bernard. Looks like the St. Bernard I had back in the day. She loved to ride in the truck, of course the front seat. Your dog looks ready for a ride in that new truck.

x2. We had a couple Bernards (1 ea on 2 occasions) when I was growing up. Looking back on it, I can't believe they put up with the "abuse" from us kids. We used to climb all over them (and they, us come to think of it), and bury them in the snow (except for the head to breathe and tail 'cause it wouldn't stop wagging). One time, we came up with the bright idea of hooking our toboggan to one of them. Oh, he took it back the hill alright, but didn't stop until he got back to the house. We didn't try that again. But I digress...Nice truck.:B

As long as you're not mistaken for the landscaping crew, you're good. Happened all the time with my old 450.

That is a real truck, my other term for work truck! I like white (don't have to worry about sun), looks cleaner longer.

Nice truck, good find!!

When I bought mine, I called my dealer/owner, and he said, lets build one. I said that is easy, I want electric start, and air conditioning. Well, we did add a few others, but mine is still a real truck!

Hope your dog enjoys it as much as mine does,
