Replying to: johnmajor (Mar 12, 2007 10:16 am) Yes they have several different ones but only one kind from the factory. I believe the others are dealer installed. I am trying to remember from my salesman. They had several at the dealer with different prices. I called my dealer Saturday and had him order the sunroof as well. So I started with out the sunroof, without the 20's but had everything else. Now I have the roof and 20's. I hate to say this but watch gas go above $3 bucks a gallon. It'll cost $75 bucks to fill that thing up and thats once a week. Oh well. I want the truck!
#337 of 707 New Chevy by khouse Mar 15, 2007 (11:18 pm)
Thinking about getting a 2007 Chevy 4wd crew cab probaby the LT2 package. I'm wondering with the 5.3L you can either get the 3:42 rear or the 3:73. Which rearend is the best ratio. I know the 4:10 are low gears and be better for pulling, but I don't tow a helluva lot. I hear the new Tundra has a 4:10 and a 4:30 those type of gears just sound too low. I was just wondering if the higher gears were better for gas mileage. Thanks for any info. Replies to this message: joe29001 (Mar 18, 2007 7:09 am)
#338 of 707 More Stuff to get by tsully Mar 17, 2007 (4:43 pm)
Wow I can't wait until I can actually post a review of my new Sierra Denali. I ordered one a couple of weeks ago. The dealer is letting me change things at the last minute. Anyway found out it won't arrive until end of April. This gave me some time to shop around. I did. Worked out ok for me as well. Had another dealer work me out a deal. He didn't know about the first one. Appears I was paying to much to original dealer. So I let him know. So this is what is happening now. Truck is enroute to another dealer. My dealer will do a dealer trade. Truck lists for 48470. Now since I will be purchasing before April 3 I can get some available incentives. 1000 bucks for owner loyalty, 1000 bucks for March Madness(didn't know that existed until I contacted the other dealer) and 48 month 3.9 financing. So all this worked out and I ended up with the dvd player for only 75 bucks (that extra 1000 dollar incentive paid all but 75 bucks of the dvd player). So here is what I am getting now. 2007 Sierra Denali, all wheel drive, 20 inch wheels, sunroof, heated steering, and navigation. List price of 48470 minus my trade of 19500 (04 slt extended cab 4wd, sportside bed). Then minus 2000 dollars incentives, then minus 2870 that the dealer came down. The truck costs me 24100. Starting out at 48470 and ending with 24100 looks real good to me. I can't wait until I can give a first impression! I think we all know what it will be though. See ya Troy

Replying to: khouse (Mar 15, 2007 11:18 pm) Between the two ratios, I'd pick 3.73. It's a good all-around 1/2 ton truck ratio. The fuel consumption will be about the same as the 3.42 (maybe only slightly worse on the highway, unloaded, but better around town or when pulling/loaded). I've had all three ratios (among others) and I've never regretted having a ratio too low (including 4.10). I was slightly disappointed with 3.42 after having the same truck (1500 5.3 4x4) w/3.73, and terribly disappointed one time with 3.08 (never again).   I'm glad to see they're offering this ratio again on the 1500.
#340 of 707 Rear axle ratio by dagolfer Mar 18, 2007 (10:22 am)
I just traded in an 05 silverado with the 3.42 for an 07 1/2 ton with the 3.73 rear axle. I have 3500 miles on the 07. The gas mileage with the 3.42 was 17 overall and on highway trips approaching 20 mpg. The 07 with the 3.73 has yet to reach 16 mpg. On a highway trip, using cruise control at 70 mph in Central Minnesota (no mountains) the active fuel management (4 cylinder) mode did not ever come on. My mileage for the trip was 15.3.   I like the truck but do not like the gas mileage. Replies to this message: vmax2007 (Mar 18, 2007 11:16 am)

Replying to: dagolfer (Mar 18, 2007 10:22 am) dagolfer,    What engine do you have in your 07? Also, be patient, I have heard that the mileage gets better after complete break-in around 5-7K miles. I only have about 300 miles on my 07 Sierra with the 6.0 and I averaged 14.1 all city driving on my first tank. And the AFM does kick in, but only while coasting or on a flat road with no acceleration. I am not expecting AFM to have any significant impact on my overall mileage, but I don't care, I didn't buy a truck for mpg, I bought it because I need a truck.   Enjoy your new truck, it is the best one out there. You made the right choice.
#342 of 707 Looking at a 2007 2500HD Sierra SLT by paisan Mar 18, 2007 (11:48 am)
Been looking at this on paper. So far seems like a nice truck. Have to see how my Armada tows my 9000lb cigarette boat. If it doesn't tow it the way I like, I'll be upgrading to the 2500HD w/Duramax.   Anyone have thoughts on what a Loaded SLT 2500HD w/Diesel is going for? I'm guessing like $45k+   -mike Replies to this message: vmax2007 (Mar 18, 2007 1:09 pm) paisan (Mar 18, 2007 6:25 pm)

Replying to: paisan (Mar 18, 2007 11:48 am) Can an Armada really tow 9000 lbs? I doubt it, not for very long anyway. I'd go with the 2500HD. And a loaded SLT with diesel will be WELL over $50k. Probably closer to 55-58k. Replies to this message: paisan (Mar 18, 2007 6:25 pm)

Replying to: vmax2007 (Mar 18, 2007 1:09 pm) 9100lb towing is the rating on the Armada.   I priced out a loaded 2500HD SLT and the dealer invoice with delivery came to about $47.5k   Anyone with the DVD and the Navigation, how are they compared to aftermarket? Worth it?   -mike
#345 of 707 2007 Chevy First Impressions by nascar57 Mar 19, 2007 (8:38 am)
I just took delivery of my 2007 Chevrolet Silverado LT1 Crew Cab on friday. Has the 5.3 AFM Flex Fuel engine in it. VERY impressed with everything on this pickup. The fit and finish and overall quality is top of the line. I live here in North Dakota, first trip on the road, put on 225 miles and averaged 17.5 mpg. Was very surprised with all the negative things about fuel mileage that I have been hearing. This was done with the cruise set on 70 mph for 150 miles and 75 mph on the other half of the trip. AFM kicks in if you are on a real level road and mileage bumps to 23-25 mpg. GM hit this one out of the ballpark in my opinion. Toyota has its work cut out. Anyone that drives one of these new Silverado's or Sierra's will NOT be disappointed. Give them a shot.
