Picking my truck up this afternoon. Hope it runs for 200,000. Then the $2000 they screwed me out of by delaying my build date into the 08's won't matter.

I wouldn't be too upset. First off you have a 2008 as opposed to a 2007. Your 2008 truck is worth more than 2000 bucks more than a 2007. You should have XM radio in your 2008 that is a no charge option - so that saved you another 150 bucks. I'd say you did ok. You got $500 rebate instead of $2000 so it really wasn't a $2000 screwing as you say.
 
Lets hope you love the truck and never need to use the warranty.

It is a nice truck, save the automatic locks locking whenever I take it out of park. I plan on driving it until the wheels fall off, so the additonial resale really doesn't matter. The rebate in my area for 07's is $2500 so I did lose $2000 for an identical truck built literally weeks later. Could care less about satellite radio. I'm not going to pay $12 a month to listen to the radio. When the free period expires so does my sattelite radio experience. I shouldn't sound too negative, It is a really comfortable truck to drive, we'll see how it handles truck duty to come.

I am looking at the 2007 Silverado 1500 Regular Cab Long Box 4x4.
 
When I configure it as a "1LT MSRP $27,805.00", the following option IS available:
 
HEAD CURTAIN SIDE AIRBAG
    Air bags, head curtain side-impact, front and rear outboard seating positions, with rollover sensor (ASF) $395.00
 
When I configure it as a "1WT MSRP $22,155.00", the option is NOT available.
 
I really want the WT with side curtains... I do not need/want all the chrome/fancy stuff in the extra $4000 LT package.
 
I also notice the side curtain option IS available in the 2007 1500 Classic models.
 
Why in the world are side curtains not an option in the 2007 1500 WT?
 
Anyone know if the 2008 WT will or will not have side curtains?
 
I also assume I am too late to order a 2007 Silverado... right?
 
Thanks, Mike

Has anyone heard if GM plans on equipping the 1500 Sierras with Bluetooth technology or 6-speed automatic transmissions?

not sure about the bluetooth, the 6 speed is already available for the Heavy Duties and will be available in the 1500's in the 2009 model year.

I doubt that GM will put bluetooth into their cars or trucks. They have a deal with Onstar/Verizon. If you were able to use bluetooth... then there would be no need to purchase the Onstar/Verizon phone service.

Thanks for the quick responses. I confirmed that at least for the 2008 model there will be no 6-Speed transmission or Bluetooth. A local dealer had told me that the 2008 models would have Bluetooth is why I asked.
 
What would be the benefits or detriments of a 6-speed transmission over the current 4-speed transmission?
