I've had four Chevy's over the last 40 years, Swore to my self I wouldn't buy another after the Obama bail out.

But this summer I was in need of a new truck after giving my 08 Z71 to my youngest son. I went truck shopping and after looking at every brand and talking to new owners, ended up buying a new Chevy 1500 Z-71. This one has the 6.2 litter engine and 8 speed tyranny. It also has all the bells and whistles. It is the first new truck I've bought that I actually like better than the old one. It's giving me 40% more horse power and 20% better gas mileage. If my memory is accurate, 420 horse power and 450 pounds of torque. Pulling my Winnebago Mini travel trailer over the Colorado mountains from Durango to Silverton is a breeze.
