2005 1500 4wd

I just pice up my 2005 silverado, and I hate it already. It looks lame, too many auto controled componets, don't like seats, the color sucks, lame navigation crap in the rear view mirror, ext cab is too big. I want my 98 Z71 back.

Re: 2005 1500 4wd

I hear you on the wanting your 98 back. Just curious, but did you test drive it before you bought it?

Indeed. Sounds like you ordered it sight unseen!

Never buy anything without a test drive/viewing. I'm having trouble understanding your complaint with the compass in the mirror and TOO BIG of an extended cab? If its too big, then why not just get a single cab?

Of course I saw it before I paid for it, I have to have something brand new...well lets see what have to choose from Chevy.. ugly, Ford...uglyer, Dodge..ugliest. Toyota..out of the question. Anyone want to tell which models i'm over looking? I wasn't asking for input, just blowing some steam from paying 37,000 on something I really dont care for.

Re: 2005 1500 4wd

Hey man I understand. Just thought it was funny. I'm starting to like the new Nissan Titans myself. But they don't seem quite as big as a full size truck.

Re: 2005 1500 4wd

I agree with Steve V, I love my 04 Ext Cab. I have never really owned a 98 or any full size truck for that matter, but my 04 seems great. I just hope it holds up for atleast 5 years. I had a 93 S-10 P/U up until 6 months ago as a second car and I loved that thing. I just wanted something bigger.

I'm sorry you feel the current Silverado Body Style is ugly.

i'm with you. I test drove a few Titan's and man, that thing can spank @$$!! The one I drove was the Base model 4x4 w/ 20's. It would still light them up in the parking lot!!!

why did you buy it if its soo ugly?... Maybe you should of bought something other that a truck if they are all so un-appealing, or just settled for one of the older body style silverado's that was in good shape. Just dosent make sense to buy domething if you dont like it. I personally like the new Nissan Titan.
