Skinner Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 if you get one make sure it doesn't have all the plastic cladding on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 That was the only thing I didn't like. The plastics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 That was the only thing I didn't like. The plastics. I think more of the "upscale" version's the plastic's were paint matched. I saw a newer one that was all black, it didnt look half bad but the older version with all the grey plastic looks fucking ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 The later model years were offered without the plastic cladding. Thank God Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I have had several trucks with 8' beds and I hated them. Primarily I hated the look of the longer bed. With theshort bed trucks I have had, If I needed them longer I just used a 8' long piece of plywood screwed down and bam 8'bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GilbWs6 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 All of the write-ups I've seen on them have been great. I hate Consumer Reports but it's one of the few GM products that gets their backing. Everyone that I know that has one, loves it. We've got one at our lot now that is just a base model and it's still pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil8 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 If its the new body style, get it, they are hot. Old plastic bodystyle not so much. They are very useful though. Hard tonneau, good. Side storage, very good. Using side storage filled with ice as a beer cooler, Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
