I gotta say... I am very dissappointed in myself for making such a shitty decision.
a little background..
The company I work for has very good benefits packages for its managers. One that tops the list is an all expense paid personal vehicle lease up to $740/month. They pay for fuel, oil changes, insurance, car washes.... everything. So, all I have to do is pick a vehicle that falls in that lease range. My wife has wanted us to have a truck for quite some time so I thought I would try one out. Not being a real "truck guy, I wasn't sure what to pick. A friend of mine works for a GMC delaership nearby, so I thought that would be the easiest.
so, march 3rd i took delivery of a Next Generation 2007 Chev Silverado LT Crew Cab.
What a pile of shit.
I now have 4600km on it and this is whats wrong so far
-suspension moans and creaks in every corner
-14 mpg highway with a 5.3l MDS V8
-interior trim rattles when its less that +15C
-back seats rattle like they are loose
- overall fit and finish is poor to say the least
So, i guess this one is just going to be choked up to "lesson learned"
My wife and I have agreed that we will never own another vehicle that wasn't made in either Germany or Japan.
I guess for the next 34 months, I am stuck driving what I like to call
" The Pile Of Shit"
