ZR2

Oh I did it...and I love it! A noticeable difference in the first 150 miles...it even sounds different, but maybe that's my imagination. Nicely sprung but stiff ride, like any vehicle with off-road suspension. Nice having leather again, standard in ZR2. 47115 MSRP so it was an expensive sucker, only options on the truck besides the Duramax (3500) were the Bose (500) and Mylink/nav (495). I paid 45200 by getting a GM supplier # from a GM brand rep, but most dealers I talked to were selling at MSRP plus an addendum for some dealer added crap. They are still pretty scarce, and I would check the locator every couple of days o see what was available within 1000 miles. I looked at one with the bed-mounted spare, looks cool in the desert shots but takes up the entire bed because it's mounted in the middle at an angle...and no hardware to hang the spare if you want to move it. It's still a truck and I like to use it as a truck! Curious as to why GM used a 31" tire, it's going to look incredible with a larger tire. It does seem to have been as purpose engineered as anything from GM can be, so I'm sure there's some logic behind 31" tires, but my gut is it will be rolling on something a little larger within the next year? For now, I'm going to learn the truck and will continue to use it as my daily driver on my 70 mile round trip commute. We are planning to take it up to Hardrock in Ocala next Sunday for some mild wheeling. I'll stay out of the woods and heavy mud, but they have some rocks and a couple of pretty steep climbs. BTW, I ended up getting the truck at Cox in Bradenton, same place my Z71 came from. Oscar, their sales manager, offered me all of the professional courtesy I would expect, but then again, I've worked in a Cadillac dealership for 22 years so the whole deal was relatively easy.
