Welcome! Thumbs up on the cargo mgmt system. What color did you get?The only advice I have is that there are multiple sources for GM accessories, should you want to pick anything up. The search function is your (sometimes) friend. Have fun!BTW, I know a "Jolly" on another forum - but you are not him!

It's silver - the only color my local dealer had. That's OK tho. I live in the sticks (and love it) so I deal with a lot of gravel roads. Silver is a good hue for not showing a ton of gravel dust.Jolly was my dad's nickname 'cause he was so full of life and a practical joker. He left me a couple years ago aged 93.I've been reading this forum for a month or so and it seems really light-hearted and fun. So when I had to think of a user name today, I thought of my dad.So, Jolly it is!I look forward to learning.Jolly
