Dude, you GOTTA have this truck.  Get out the checkbook, as the
dealers ain't dealin'....  I tested a Crew Cab LTZ 4x4.  It was roomy,
quick, and had a ton of options.  I drove it around town and on the
Thruway and it handled nicely overall.  I'm 6'-3", 260lbs and I was
very comfortable.

I don't really have anything to compare it to, as my '95 ext cab is
100 steps below it, and maybe 50 steps above my dad's '01.

I didn't particularly care for that eazy-lift tailgate thing, but I
suppose I'd sit with the sales rep and build my truck anyway.  

Price was kinda steep for a Chevy, $43K out the door.  Personally, I
think GM is really trying to impress potential buyers.  I like the
truck, and its styling, but the Wallet Clamp, aka wife, doesn't  think
we're ready to kick out 700 a month for something to drive.  Besides,
I know I can get another 10, 20 years outta my  '95!!!!!  (wouldn't
THAT be cool!!!)

Go check one out, they're pretty nice...
