Fully studded winter tires as well!
I was looking at getting something else in the new year but the deals on the 2012 trucks were really good.... then they got a red one in... it was only 20 minutes from when it was unloaded off a truck until I put down a deposit!
Details:
4.8L V8 302hp, 305ft/lbs
4spd auto, 3:42 locking rear
Crew cab, power everything
265-70/17 Fully studded Firestone Winterforce on their own rims

It was traded in.ParknVibe wrote:So you really traded in the Vibe? Or, are you going to sell the Vibe yourself?
The rims have the dual bolt pattern, 5-100 and (I believe) 5-114 (will have to double check) and will look VERY good on a Red or Black car!!!CAMOGIRL wrote:OO! It's pretty! Too bad your wheels won't fit my vibe.. I have long admired them

No, no stick shift... GM hasn't offered one in a full size pickup since 2006.j42.snyder wrote: No manual transmission though I see
Fuel economy will be interesting to see - clearly not in the Vibe category, but probably not too bad for a truck either. My uncle recently rented a 3/4 ton Chev van with the 4.8, and got about 11L/100km with mostly highway driving.
They gave me 30% more for the Vibe then 'Canadian black book' said it was worth. I'll post the window sticker of the truck and details on what was included in the sale.ParknVibe wrote:Buick and other GM dealers still send me offers to get me to trade in the Vibe for alot of $$$. Do you still get these offers and is that what you did to get a good deal on the truck?
You can get a Dodge 2500/3500 Diesel with a stick, and from what I've read, the 2014 Colorado/Canyon will still have clutching capabilities.ColonelPanic wrote:Congrats! Power things AND autotragic? You feeling ok? (does anyone even offer a M/T truck anymore?)
They'll fit. And look darn good, too.CAMOGIRL wrote:OO! It's pretty! Too bad your wheels won't fit my vibe.. I have long admired them
That totally S U C K S I see even Ford dropped the manual out of their F-150 lineup I guess I'll be holding onto my 21 year old F-150 for another 20+ years and "shifting" those gears all by myself What is somewhat shocking is the price of trucks today compared to 20 years ago. Here is my window sticker when I bought it. My "out the door" final price back then was $10,520.00 I would think for 40K they at least would have put nice alloys on the truck instead of the basic steelies On the bright side, they should NEVER require airing them up like most alloys do.star_deceiver wrote:

Need a/c in Calgary? 28*C too hot for you, lol?
Seems like such a backwards trade for someone who does a lot of km's.
I find your love for winter terrifying and perhaps even a little revolting (perhaps because I am Texan)star_deceiver wrote:Wheeeeeeee!!!! Winter!!!
