The time finally came...

....and I replaced the Avalanche. She was getting pretty high on the odometer and I got new truck fever. After researching, test driving, and discussing pricing on every half-ton out there, I bought this.

2009 Silver Birch Metallic Chevrolet Silverado LTZ 4wd extended cab with the L76 6.0L and 6-spd auto Max Trailering Pack. The truck came with the 20" wheels and the folding hard tonneau cover. I didn't intend to get this high of a trim level package, but the deal just worked out too well.

Nope....two reasons, they gave me more for my trade than the clunker money would pay and you can't trade a "Class 2 truck" for another one.

RACER X · 08-19-2009, 12:48 PM

yeah, i knew your truck was worth more then $35-4500.

not sure what a class 2 truck is........congratz!

10,400lbs is the tow rating on the 4wd extended cab. I'm loving this truck so far. It's a definite upgrade from the 2002 Avalanche I traded.....and I loved that thing.

I'm not sure what a "class 2 truck" is either.....but that's to be expected with a government program.
