Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire For the Chevy Haters Club

This is my first one since my 1990.

Odd seeing the rear window so close....

I like the camouflage, it works well in those surroundings.

It'll be green around here eventually....so they say....

That's ok, you still match for 9 months of the year....

I still love regular cab trucks.

They're like hammers. Simple and effective.

Plus they look better.

So, just to be clear, this is not a new truck, it's a 2011 model. I've been on the lookout for the last several months keeping an eye out for a decent used truck. I wanted a Chevy Work truck, as it was the bare bones model, as in vinyl floor mats, crank windows, manual locks, AM/FM, etc. Any option over and above the base was gravy. Short box models were really few and far between, I just didn't know if that's what I really wanted....

I had spied this truck on the innerweb, and after 3-4 weeks of it still being there, I called the dealer up ( just north of Chitcago, never again) and made a tentative trade on the horn.

So to highlight it, 2011 Work Truck, 31K, V-6, two wheel drive, locking differential, suspension package, which makes it sit up like a FWD (and ride like one), touch pad AM/FM/CD with GPS, power windows/locks, remote starter, trailer hitch, bed mat, and had a Husky tool box that I took out.

It was at a Dodge dealer that couldn't sell it, and I had a Caravan that I traded....win/win. Plus it still has 5K of factory bumper to bumper, and the 5/1K power train warranty.

I wouldn't drive a GM to a dog fight, or a Dodge for that matter.

Years of driving 1/2 ton work trucks brought me to that.

Needs bigger wheel wells.

Now that's an ugly truck!

Screw you Raab. I also drive a Chev truck. No tax money was used for it. Just sayin..........

A Z71 work truck?
Believe that's the first one I've ever seen, didn't know they were made.

That's the suspension package with 245's in the holes.

I'd love to stick 285's on it but I don't wanna suffer the mileage loss....

That's why I originally called them, as it was advertised as a 2 wheel drive, but had the Z71 stickers.

I'm guessing the previous owner put them on, as the Z71 package is Bilsteen gas shocks, skid plates, and 265 tires.

I don't believe he was talking about aalf getting entitlement dollars but of the gov't saving GM.

In that sense, there were plenty of tax dollars used for any of their post-bailout products.

your money spend it how you see fit aalf


no heartburn here over the deal


but this last GMC truck '02, is just that for me, the last


bout decided I'm going over to the dark side of Ford

It's a half ton that's not a big boys truck

Ive been seeing a lot of 2wd chevy's with Z-71 stickers lately, I think they are coming from the factory that way now. I also believe that Chevy's are still the best gas pickups out there.

spend your money how you see fit.......I am sure a lot of these folks talking smack have items from china, japan, vietnam, and elsewhere..... at least your money helped some Americans out

aalf,

I've driven Chevys since 1959 and have never had a moments problem with any of them.

Currently, I'm driving a 2010 CC/SB LTZ 4X4 Z-71 with every possible option and it may just be the finest truck I've ever owned.

Good luck with yours, not that you need it ... you now own a fine rig.
