Car hauler was unloading some '09 crewcabs yesterday with 5.3 & six speed. Anybody drive one yet?

 

i've been waiting to price one on gmc.com, but they never came out,
how much is the pricetag on one of those, mine is going in for a 09 for sure.


edit. looks like gmc.com has them to build now..

 

This is the cheapest one they have. There was a LTZ for right at $40K.

I'll go drive one tomorrow if I have some spare time. Might order a Vmax if it runs worth a crap.

 

Did you see any of the 5.3 Colorados perhaps?

the 6.0 with the 6 speed should really move out

 

I might buy a chevy again! No more 4l60/variant good god it has taken them a long time!

 

not bad, damn gmc website dosent work right.

 

Now they just have to loose the 10 bolt and drum brakes.

 

Doubt that will happen. Drum brakes are cheaper to produce and protect the brakes better in the rear from road grime. Disc on the rear add little extra stopping power and they won't justify spending the extra money for such a minimal gain.

Personally i like the look of disc all the way around, but i can't see them switching again.

 

I like my 4 wheel disk setup
