I joined the ranks yesterday after purchasing a 2019 LT CCLB! I went back and forth for a little bit the diesel engine but fuel economy is what got me interested in this truck in the first place. I was considering crossovers with all-wheel drive but would much rather have the utility of a "small" truck and in some of my comparisons/research, this truck has the potential to meet or exceed MPG's of some crossovers. I am coming from a 2011 Cruze eco MT with 141K miles on it. It was a good car that was still getting me around 40MPG average...this was another sticking point, I probably could have gotten another few years out of her but I worked out a decent deal on trade-in and discounts. The truck, of course, rides so much nicer. It has the dark ash-colored leather seats which I wasn't sure about in photos but in person, I like them.
I will be trying to learn as much as I can to get the most out of this truck. Daily duty will be commuting to work (IT) but my wife and I also own an equine business that is her full-time gig training horses, teaching lessons, etc. She has a Ram 1500 with air ride which has been a great machine. So this truck could see some light occasional work hauling stuff or possibly towing a camper for shows.
I'm in West Michigan so this truck will see some cold...people keep telling me not to get a diesel because I will have issues in the winter but I hope that is not the case.
**Quirks I am noticing already...or maybe it's just me:
Lumbar support, not sure if it is holding when I set it but maybe it's just me figuring out my settings still.
Rearview mirror, I can't seem to angle it up high enough to give me a good view out the back with window with where I want the seat height to be set at. -I am not a tall guy 5' 9" or so.
While messing with the rearview the plastic trim piece behind it seems to fall off easily. I need to look at it closer to see if it is just not snapped in or if it really is that loose.
Left footrest...I have the all-weather mats which add some left foot support but I am used to a more substantial perch. Will have to adjust or see what options there are.
-If you actually read all this, thanks LOL. excited to have this truck!
