Just got a 07 Silverado

I am enjoying my Silverado. It's a 1500 V8 base model. Already I had a question answered on the forum about cruise control (http://www.truckforums.com/m_3405/tm.htm#). I am glad I can add it myself.
I traded in a Dodge Dakota (http://www.truckforums.com/m_3405/tm.htm#) 06, 1 month old "which I liked" BUT I have a hard time with extended cabs. The extended cabs have a blind spot, and its hard for me to drive safely, and see other vehicles. I chose the regular cab Silverado , and I am glad. The visibility is excellent!!.
When backing up I can see much more than the Dakota ext cab. Anyway I just wanted to let myself known to the group. Also if anybody has any tips ot hints, I would be grateful.
Thanks Stash

Just want you to specify, base model right, not work truck. I ask because on mine (work truck model 04) the cruise control unit was stripped from the factory. There was no way to hook up the modern electronic systems without major costs. I ended up going with an aftermarket kit and it was no problem, but it's something to think about.


Anyway, congrats on the truck, hope you love it, I know I do.
