NEW TRUCK!

2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500HD
Exterior color:
Taupe-Gray-Metallic
Interior color: Ebony

ALLISON Transmission

DURAMAX 6.6L Turbo Diesel

397 horses and 765 lb.-ft. of torque

4x4 Crew-cab Standard-bed (6 1/2 feet)

Michellin 18" tires

11% improvement in highway fuel economy

36-gallon tank



The truck we wanted finally came in to the dealer, so, Thursday we went to look at it, took it for a drive, took care of the paper work, did a lot of oooohing and ahhhhing....then left our new big bad boy at the dealership because they had not received the running boards yet. We should be able to pick it up for real sometime before Tuesday or Wednesday. Then we'll take it to have it undercoated, rain-guards and front window tint installed (to match the back windows), and Rhino bed-liner done.

Next, we'll put some miles on it to "break in" the engine before we go to pick up the RV we chose, a 2011 Keystone Fuzion 360 Fifth-Wheel Toy-Hauler, that will be our second home until we can sell the house and we plan to use it for many, many years to come.

Needless to say, we're pretty excited! This was a major decision and a huge purchase for us. It took a lot of planning, but we think we made the best choice for us and plan to use this truck for many, many (many, many, many) years.
Life is short and you just never know what's around the next corner, so we decided to take the plunge and enjoy what time we have left on this planet. :-)
