For towing you need the Z-85 pkg. It includes locking rear,
a frame mounted hitch platform, upgraded suspension option, aux. trans. and engine oil cooler, a certain rear axle
ratio, and a few other tow related goodies........
A 1/2 ton ex.cab. 4x4, 5.3, z-85 can tow 8500 lbs.......
 
GM offers the 1 pkg. on all 1/2 tons for a variety to
towing needs. So if your new truck has it on the window
sticker.....Your ready to go !
 
If you need more "haul" than that ya need a 2500.
But don't forget they are gas hogs compared to a 1500 so
if you can make do remember that..............

looking for a little help by azmk

We are very serious about getting a '07 Silverado Ext. Cab 4x4 1LT with the V8 5.3 engine. I was told by a friend about the supplier pricing and the "gm in the driveway". Anyone have any information on this? I'm a desperate. I'm trying to help my sister get her dream truck. After spending a year in Iraq and craming 4 years of college into 3 at the same time going to officer training, she graduates next saturday from college and the same day becomes a 2nd Luitenant. So I'm looking for the best deal I can get for her. Any suggestions? Or help?

Check out my messages 213 and 214 in this forum and go from there. Email 20-30 chevy dealers last week of the month with your requirements. Use dealer locator on chevy web site. Ask for their best price, fact you are getting 20 bids and include your cell #. Include you will buy before the end of the month. Color options from 1st to 3rd are helpful to as well as a msrp price range and necessary options (ie 31000-33000) Its unlikely a truck will have exactly the options you want without a little extra. About 1/2 of the dealers may respond. Work the best 2-3 down to the lowest price. You can build the truck on the chevy website and get an idea of the numbers.
 
If you're in a hurry thats generally against you, but do the above and check out the resources I recommend for the rest of your car buying career.
 
You are shooting for 7000-10000 off msrp a 32000 truck. Closer to 7000 now (for the new 07 body style not the old 07) and if your color and other prefs are picky. You really want about 9000-10000 off as this segment is a slow mover and these chevys wholesale used about 12000 off msrp after year 1. GM supplier pricing has generally been available to anybody capable of working the best deal. By all means after the deal is worked try to get 500 off for a military discount but it won't be possible if you have worked the best deal as this is generally a marketing tool.
 
With the prices and availability I would want the power pedals, tow hooks (cheap to add) and limited slip diff. And fog lights.
 
I suggest you have your credit and financing arranged thru your own sources and have an idea of your monthly payments.
 
Good Luck

Thankyou for your reply. I have done a lot of the things that you suggested already. Your message gives me more of an idea of what is possible. Financing we already have, so we have a little more power in our favor. Thanks again, I'll try to post what I was able to get.

Sounds Lousy. I would want $10000 off MSRP as a bare minimum on this vehicle. I would guess it wholesales used for 28000-30000 in 1yr with 15000 miles on it.

"Sounds Lousy. I would want $10000 off MSRP as a bare minimum on this vehicle."
 
wow... i have really hard time believing that such a deal is possible... i've been trying to get a good price on a similarly equipped truck (LTZ, ext cab, 4x4 + options, $38500 msrp) ---> none of 3 dealers i have approached showed any interest in coming $4500 below MSRP (and that includes current $1000 incentive) - and you're talking $10k? , say $8k in my case ---> i'd take it immediately, without hesitaiton...but i just know now it's impossible.

I agree, $10k off MSRP on a Chevy is quite unreasonable, to say the least. I don't believe there's $10k of profit in any new car, other than some of the exotics.

Hmmmm. You people need some experience in the car business. 10000 off MSRP was a good deal on the 32000 06 silverado end of last year. I have seen numerous ads for 7500 off the newer 07 bodystyle this year. 11000 off the GMC envoy and Trailblazer was not uncommon last year. (most of the dealer cash unadvertised in addition to the advertised rebate.) With the gasolene situation and price we are going to have a repeat. None of these vehicles (suvs and trucks from Honda, ford etc) has moved for 3 years without heavy incentives. (both rebate and unadvertised dealer cash)
 
To walk in as a neophyte to 3 chevy dealers, (out of 3700 total and probably 40 within 150 miles of you) and declare something impossible because they didn't drop their pants for you immediately (especially at the beginning of the month and as a walk in to the showroom) is silly. Check out my post 14394 in the accord prices paid forum for useful resources to learn how to buy a car. Solicit 15-30 bids via email last week of the month for a vehicle of your specs.
 
Published invoice prices have become more and more a nominal figure for the last 15 years or so. This has become especially evident in the large truck/suv segment in the last few years.
