You can say that again...

That's a nice truck, i sat in them at the auto show. If i was in the market for a truck that's the one i would get.

only thing about short/small beds. when you actually need the truck for a truck. and even a queen sized mattress doesn't fit......

Snagged this up new years eve. 07 5.3 2wd Z71 LTZ. Loaded. Leather, heated seats, JVC touch screen, Bose system, magnaflow exhaust etc etc.

Well aware of the short bed flaws in cargo management, have had the s10 do some pretty impressive hauling though..

That's the truck ur getting and is that ur ta next to it. You found one at Terryville chevy.

yes, that's the truck, had a friend drive me up, as payment for services rendered he got to drive the bird home.

this was one of only 3 crew cab z71's left within 300 miles that wasn't on deposit or on hold. The price worked out perfectly, almost exactly what I was looking to spend from the start.

If I didn't get it when I did, I would have never made it home from work the last two nights. It drives unbelievably comfortably, and effortlessly. They did make a few modifications to the 3.6l like a deeper oil pan and a few other internal upgrades for strength.
Took it off to play in the 10" of snow we got around here tackled the untouched lots with ease and never a fear of getting stuck. Even helped pull a suburban out of a jam.

So far I am loving it, just thinking of what kind of vinyl to throw on it. I have an idea in mind, just need to let the $ work itself out. Maybe get something on it over the summer. Definitely a red/white/blue, aggressive/off road/racing kind of feel.

Though that's fun to look forward to, here it is. The 2015 Truck of the year in Summit White. Colorado Z71 crew cab, short bed.

If you're going to be pulling vehicles out of snow banks, you might need a winch on it.
