One Fine Vehicle

[JEBar]

our daughter's camper has a new vehicle to follow down the road .. .. while her Suburban could still tow it, the fact is it worked the hound out of it .... its 5.3 could handle the weight on local roads, she didn't feel good about taking long trips or towing over hilly areas .... its suspension was built for a comfortable ride, not for handling heavy trailers .... the only reason she could do so safely was her Propride Hitch ..... that truly remarkable hitch made towing possible .... she'd reached the point that she wanted to be able to do more than camp a close to home .... she, understandably, wants to be able to go to the beach or mountains .... bottom line, her Suburban is gone and it has been replaced by a Chevy Silverado 2500 Z71 Trail Boss .... I've never owned a pickup as nice as it is .... I've posted a few pictures that don't do it justice .... its color, Cypress Gray, is new this year .... in the bright sun it looks green .... out of the direct sun it looks dark grey .... it is powered by a 6.6L gasoline powered V8 ....yesterday she drove it from here at home to Great Wolf Lodge which just over 170 miles over a mix of mostly 2 lane rural roads and a short distance on I-85 .... she got 16.9 MPG .... its a hoss

We had a 01 Tahoe LT that I put 196k on while owning my detailing buisness. It did very well for us.

I like the gray truck with the black wheels, very nice.
We discovered we were truck people years ago.
I thought I wanted the sports car I had dreamed of all those years... Bought one in 2012, kept it less than a year.
Went back to the trucks.

We have a 2010 Titan and a 2015 Frontier, both are in great shape. We do the PM as scheduled and have no plans to replace them. They both have shells on the back... and still look good.

the all three pictures are of the same truck .... the green picture was taken under direct sunlight .... the gray picture was taken under very overcast conditions ....

the black wheels are part of the Z or the Trail Boss options packages .... not sure which

I understood the post, but didn't make myself clear. I'm usually better than that. I like the gray/black combo better. But, I think the green appearance is nice to. The color shift is a nice trick. Our Titan is Black, but the color is called Galaxy Black. In Neutral Light it looks like a deep rich black. In Bright Sun it's a deep black, and has a rainbow metalflake and looks like it's filled with "Stars."

that sounds like an interesting paint job, bet its an attention get'er .... the dealership had plenty of both but our daughter flat out didn't want a black or another vehicle .... the Cypress Gray one was the only truck like she wanted that they had so she took it

That is one fine looking pickup. Love the color change but the green is my favorite.

MINOR UPDATE :

our daughter's new 2500 now has just over 500 miles on it .... no towing .... some interstate but mostly 2 lane highways .... for that period of time, it has averaged 16.7 MPG

How much? Just a ball park figure.

How much? Just a ball park figure.

window sticker price was just over $67,000 .... the ones just like it with a Duramax diesel are about $10,000 higher .... just for comparison, our youngest son purchased a decked out Chevy Silverado 1500 at the same dealership 3 days earlier with a window sticker that was less than $1,000 lower than the one on our daughter's 2500
