Default Sold the TBSS...back in a Truck!!!

Well I loved the power of the TBSS but it wasn't me, especially being a lowered midsize and I'm 6'5"....it got old getting in and out of it. Anyway my new truck is exactly what I wanted, here is the breakdown:

2010 Black Silverado Crewcab 4x4 LT
6.2L!!
Max Towing Pkg (14 bolt rear, 3.73s, rear disc brakes, Trailer brake controller, HD cooler, etc..)
Backup camera (in rearview mirror)
Black leather front split bench
Remote Start
Climate Control
Bluetooth
Z71 skid plates
Dealer swapped in Z71 wheels
I had a Line-X liner sprayed the next day

Only disappointment is you can't order the Z71 w/6.2 14bolt and 3.73 but I can always paint the front grille later if I want.

Ya my last truck I bought I focused on accessories and being a stepside, I regretted not just getting a 6.0 Max. There is always next time!

Congrats on the buy!!!!! I've had mine for going on 4 months now and freakin LOVE it!!

I had a 2006 TBSS and LOVED that also..... had it for 2.5 yrs and it got stolen (never found). Then went to an '06 GTO M6... Loved that but missed a feel of a truck.... and that's when I found my current ride!!!!!!!

I kept swapping between the 5.3 and the 6.2 when I was shopping for mine.... test drove both. With the way I am, if I would have gotten the 5.3 I would already be checking on how to trade it in. Definitely glad I got the 6.2..... good luck!

You cant order a Z71 with those options? I did, except the 3.73's but I could have. Nice truck though, you will love it
