I sat in a Silverado 1500 that was marked as a 2016 with no "projection" icon. I was like "wtf"? He was like "blame Canada bro, this is a '16"

And this is why I try to fight the good fight and be a decent :dillerman:

You can move the icons around - was the projection icon on the 2nd page?
Didnt see it. But he was a good dude. Just didn't know the product he was selling

Finally drove a Tacoma. No thank you. Dead pedal is enormous and right in the way. No height adjustment on the driver seat and my knees were constantly in the bottom of the steering column.

The position I would have to sit for the car seats to work isn't doable.

Jumped in a ZR2 right after and it felt cavernous

So I think it's going to be a Canyon unless I go :fullretard: and get a ZR2.

Need to do more research on the trim levels. Basically all I want are heated seats and nav, even though I'll use Android auto most of the time.

The General was dillin' hard on the Colorado when I got mine, with minimal discount on a Canyon. Just make sure you're getting the right :dill:

To me it sounds like the most interesting DD aspect of the ZR2 is the fancy multivalve shocks that produce a cadillac ride without throwing handling on a lifted truck out the window. It looks cool and is an offroad brotruck and all that, but depending on your commute the soft ride might offer you a rational basis for spending more. Just saying.

The GMC in the normal trims just looks better. The front ends are more truck like. Which is desirable when buying ....a truck.

I wanted the GMC, but if I was going for the best dill, I would have gotten a Z71 Colorado.

Colorado has that sport truck look that the 1997 era F150 had, which I loved, so I'd pick the Colorado.

The GMC looks more like a dad truck. :iono:

It's actually not a Cadillac ride quality. It's rather firm on the street, which makes it feel dangerously close to sporty for a truck. Minimal body roll, and it doesn't wallow about over uneven pavement and bumps. Impact harshness over bumps doesn't exist and offroad, you can go way faster than you should be able to.

It's really quite an experience. You'll never drive a bro truck that rides so good. :wub: :koolaid:

IIRC :waxer: said his donkey cart suspension JLU rides better than the flatbrim-spec ZR2?

Yep, and I believe it. An SUV that's designed to carry and tow very little can be designed to ride great. Make the thing capable of hauling 1,100 lbs payload and towing 7k lbs and report back.

Makes sense. The F150s we have ride like dump trucks but throw a pallet of shit in the back and they're cadillacs.
