Bought me a new truck...2015 GMC, dropped 5/7 already

Bought me a new truck, didn't even put gas in it and already lowered it, put in a billet grill, exhaust and tinted the windows... Less than 200 miles on it

I traded in my 2000 Z71 that I've owned for the past 11 years. Kinda teared up a bit when they took her inside...

Anyway, yeah... I felt kinda stupid when the sales guy was explaining all the stuff... and I'm not a "tech idiot." I'm a civil engineer, I use all sorts of programs, etc, I'm pretty good with my smart phone, but was just blown away with all the "crap" it can do. I just want it to drive well and last me 10 years.

This is mine, I picked it up last night. 5.3L 2LT Z71.

And no, I didn't park in the HC space, they were technically closed by the time we got down to business and the appraisal guy parked it there.

I like your wheels a lot more than mine.

Re: Bought me a new truck...2015 GMC, dropped 5/7 already

I just bought the Z71 LTZ 2015 Silverado White. I will put up some photo's when the sun comes out. All I have done is put a Leer Camper shell on it. I took it to Georgia last weekend and got 26.9 MPG! I also traded my old trusty 2003 Z71, after 300,000 miles. She still ran great but It was time.

Looks great! Now you need to ditch the steps and maybe trim the air dam.

Re: Bought me a new truck...2015 GMC, dropped 5/7 already

Nice looking trucks ! I picked up a 2015 GMC SLT Z71 4X4 back in March of this year. I added the Denali grille and tonneau cover. Like already stated the truck gets great gas mileage. Here is a couple pics. of mine. The color is called Cayenne Metallic and has been discontinued for 2015. It was only available for a very short time.

Re: Bought me a new truck...2015 GMC, dropped 5/7 already

How is the ride with the 5/7 drop, any rubbing/bottoming issues, and which kit did you use?

Re: Bought me a new truck...2015 GMC, dropped 5/7 already

I've had the opposite experience than you guys with my 2014 Silverado. I bought a High Country to get the brown interior, and it has had a vibration since new. I originally wanted to lower it, but have decided not to until it's fixed. Strangely enough, I have had a bit of trouble finding anyone who wants to mess with it. My mileage is a bit lower than what has been posted here too. I am averaging 17.0 over the last 1800 miles of mostly highway driving. Must have got a Monday build.....

2015 Chevy Max

I ordered this truck Mar 2015 --took 4 months for delivery but the Max was worth it. Since it is a W/T I could not get the aluminum 18" wheels but I have since put on a new takeoff set. Get's 18.7 at 76 mph cuisin is better at 65mph -- no trailer.

Cool, I am not a low rider but that is a good looking truck. I kinda wish GM had a dressier hood like the 2011s or an oem hood stripe on my chevy.
