Sce your towing on the street 2WD should be fine but the way I see it is if you plan on selling the truck 4WD hold their value a little better. If you plan on keeping the truck for a long time then you can save the money that 4WD will cost both in cost and maintenance

yeah, if I get a truck, I plan on keeping it until it can't run anymore. lol so that will save me 3 grand! woot!

Congrats on the wheels and tires. What sizes and rims did you get?

And blow by is an issue because the oil that is blown by in the PCV will accumulate in your manifold or intake and eventually degrade both fuel economy and performance. A catch can is easily the best investment you can make if you anticipate to have a car for a long time.

Yea 4WD is really only necessary if you ever plan on towing or driving something to a campsite or through the woods. Even then if your light on the throttle a 2WD drive vehicle won't get stuck. People just get stupid and floor it when they are about to get stuck which just digs a hole and gets them more stuck

We had leather added to our '13 Silverado. They got it the wrong color the 1st time, so we had to send it back. Nothing like making that 1st payment before you get your truck!

Well apparently the truck came with leather from the factory. It's just a LT extended cab with the sport truck and trailer package. So not sure of they include the leather with the sport truck since it is a rather expensive option

LMR tunes the LFX with HPTuners, but does not tune the LLT with Trifecta.

Our new Dimsport suite will be available soon and it has logging abilities as well.

What is your source for that info Tracy? Seems like J_Vibe will know if they use trifecta to tune the LLT since he has been in direct communication with LMR very recently

They look pretty nice. Did you go 245/45/20 on all four corners?

PoorMansCamaro · 07-24-2013, 09:34 AM

you think I can get a better deal off both trucks, if I buy two? or would it be about the same.

Yeah, mine's a DD, so I was looking for fuel economy & being able to rotate. My hubby don't like riding with me 'cuz I don't slow down for curves! (that's the fun part)
