Congrats; Black beauty! I hope to have one like this in 2016. To the member who posted about the trucks being "cheapened" and not being able to carry a plow; give your head a shake! Who in their right mind does ANY kind of REAL work with a 1/2 ton lol Ridiculous! Sent from my iPhone 5s 64Gb using TractorByNet
Thanks! Yeah I wasn't too thrilled about black, wanted white actually. Problem was there was a $1400 difference between the one I wanted and this one even though the options are identical. Something about a price hike GM did and mine was built before that occurred. Needless to say I learned to love black real fast. Had the white one had $1400 more worth of options then maybe but I couldn't see paying that much for just a color.
I will never need a plow as I love in SC so when we do get snow it's rare or very little. All I need this one to do is pull gravity wagons, small sprayers, trailers, haul stuff. Only reason I was even considering the f250's is because I read online that you could get up to $10,000 off a 2014 one. Same with the f150. Best I could get was $8000 and I ended up getting $7400 off the Silverado plus they gave me the best trade-in offer. Like I said, I gave Ford 3 chances and their dealers couldn't close the deal. I hate it because I really wanted an FX4 with the 5.0 or a 6.2 f250 but in the end I'm glad I got this Z71. It's only an LT with All Star package but it has tons of features. Probably the best overall value you can get in a GM pickup.
