    Question New truck time

    Well it was fun while it lasted but its time to get rid of the camaro and get something a little more useful to me. ive been looking at the newer silverados specifically a 2010-2013 4 door short bed 2wd with the 6.2l. Who owns one and anything specific to look for in the year models? im sure the 6.2 will be fun to try to find with the right trim package. i want the trim that has the painted bumpers and leather seats is that the LT on the 2wd? my buddy has all that but his is an LTZ 4wd so im not 100% sure of what i need to be asking for when i go to look. also what are these trucks going for as far as price?

    It's all in who you ask, but I despised my 2011. I grew to hate the lag in throttle response due to 4 cylinder mode, the center console design, the flimsy body panels, the rattles that showed up after two months, the relentless warnings in the DIC (parking sensors blocked when I had a hitch on, tire pressure, etc.). I missed having my compass and temp on my mirror. About the only thing I liked about the truck was the 6spd auto.

    On another note, you can get leather with an LT but it won't be heated. The dash layout in the LTZ trucks is more like the Tahoe/Yukon.

    2002 black Yukon SLT (the skinny sister)

    I've pulled 6000-7000 lbs with this one multiple times, but I understand. Just trying to throw it out there just in case. I gotta get in a dirtymax soon.
