truck question

[SuperBowlNachos]

I am in the market for a new truck, just looking online right now. Haven't gone to a dealership. Waiting for parents to help me with getting the financials right and blah blah.

I know nothing about cars. My question is, what does it mean by work truck? http://www.carmax.com/enUS/view-car/...a-c18077581177

I am going for the newer style silverado extended cab. But all the ones under 20k on carmax at least are "work trucks"

Re: truck question

I believe its the less expensive version of the model, the extended bed also is something construction or other companies seek to haul more.

Yeah, it's usually the base-base model.

I think with the Silverado's, it's the LS. It's more of a work grade truck. Everything is super basic. The seats are probably more of a heavy duty canvas type material than a soft cloth. 60/40 bench up front instead of bucket seats and the center console that flips down in the middle is of a really hard plastic instead of topped with leather (if I recall, I think the console is even open on top). Even the doors are trimmed out with a cheaper looking plastic, than the wood grain or mid-grade plastic they put on the LT's. Even on the front, the bumper, I think is different. One is stell vs. the other being the body color.

I was in the market for a Silverado a little while after the new ones came in and saw one advertised in the news paper by the dealer at a super low price and when I came in to the dealership, this is pretty much what they showed me.

The inside probably looks like this one:

(If you see what I mean about the console), though this one looks to have bucket seats.

I thought you misspelled trick question. I was wrong.

Re: truck question

Yeah work truck is bare bones. Stuff that a real man would care about. Powerful engine, long bed in the back.

Where as the street model truck or family truck, would have a shorter bed, more likely with a lid on the bed. Leather seats, shiny dashboard, gps system, less poiwerful engine that is more fuel effiecent.

Have you looked at GMC Sierra? You should be able to find a 4 door model for about the same price with the lift and tires still

Interesting, guess it's the difference in markets then.

Re: truck question

At least in Texas, GMC has always been more expensive than Chevy's even though they look exactly the same.
