TBA: 2022 Silverado 1500

[Blee1099]

Went to the dark side after owning a F150 years ago to buying a new Silverado 1500. Between getting heck of a deal that no Ford dealer could meet and getting my supplier discounts or equivalent, it was no brainer. Its not my daily driver but rather a pleasure vehicle, the DD is a 4runner shown in the background in one of the pics. Luckily work is only 5-7 minutes away.

Yup snapped my femur into pieces.. bought it abut a month ago while I was still injured

Well, I didn't go that new, but I also nabbed a silverado when my explorer bit it a bit back. Mines a '95 with a 5.7l, that 5.3l ain't bad though, especially after a few upgrades! Sorry to hear about ya leg, doing better now? Not sure when it happened.

I'd ask if you need a hand but I see you already got one. Need a set of chromoly spheres hanging from the back bumper.

Oh yes, the puns! It's a real handful. I've got the rear end covered in different ways (snake skelly and another hand, more to come), probably won't do that, funny suggestion though! Lol

Yes, hopefully you'll be healed up real soon! Its definitely got all the bells and whistles, a lil' jealous especially since I'm sure it has working a/c!

thanks. it was a rather spur of the moment purchase. Didn't originally plan on buying it but the price was way better than anyone else around so I jumped on it. only $1K a month for the next 3 years lol

Not really fully loaded just has the essentials. Wasn't a factory order but rather off the lot LT model so it doesn't have stuff like rear seat cup holders instead in the doors. Other stuff are lacking like sunroof, AC120 outlet, etc. But it was super cheap compared to other similar ones.

Okay, let me rephrase, bells and whistles compared to mine! lol
At least it should ride nice too

LOL except i'm broke now. I spent most of my savings to put down the down payment of $18K

Well so am I lol
Spent most my savings trying to save the ol' explorer before finally saying it's too much, then had to pay to use another guys vehicle for a bit to get around, then got my new truck and used what lil' I had left to do that and still owe some family for it, but then my job burnt down and I'm helping with the rebuild trying to scrape by lol
So I get that, though I didn't spend that much so the fact ya had that much anyway was already nicer than me. But hey, that's still a good truck, probably end up being worth it, especially being newer, probably have less issues, especially for a long time

Don't feel bad. I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.
