Testtube Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Hello guys i just got back from the dealer 9-18-05 6:25 and put my money down on a Red 2006 Vortec Max Iam not sure if iam posting this is in the correct spot. Iam pretty excited about picking up the truck tomarrow. If your not familiar with the truck It comes with the 20 inch rims. This one iam getting has Full leather seats And wheel. On star XM radio Sun Roof power windows door locks power folding mirrors. Dual heated seats (I live in florida Dont think ill need them ) Oh and of course the the 6.0L engine and improved suspension. Iam not new to the sports truck Market My previous vehicles where 2002 Ford Lightning 2003 Dodge Ram- Hemi 2005 Dodge Ram SRT10 I currently work for General Motors and it looks bad rolling into work everyday in a Dodge. So i thought it was time to break down and buy a Chevy. This will be my first ever GM Product. And hope i have some good luck with it. Again Iam not sure if this is being posted in the right place feel free to move it. Once i pick it up from the dealer tomarrow ill grab some pictures of it -Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 You're certainly welcome around here. I'm familier with the Vortec Max. The 20" wheel part though isn't standard on all Vortec Max trucks, but a nice improvement in the look for those with that option. Now you just need some pictures...

Jonmalibuss Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Welcome to the site and I'm sure you will love the new truck! Is it extended cab or crew cab? Didn't we just have a conversation about the Vortec Max's yesterday! I was sure they would show up but this is way sooner than expected.

Testtube Posted September 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 (edited) Its the extended cab. To my knowledge there are around 6 of these trucks in the state currently But i could be mistaken And two of them sold today from the dealers that had them. So they are going fast I could of sworn the 20 inch rims where standard on the truck I couldnt imagine the truck without them. Thanks for the welcome and ill get some pictures together as soon as i can Is there a standard gear ratio on this truck. I have been told 4.10 and 3.73? By another person. I forgot to look on the sticker/ Look under the truck And is it true the truck can tow 10,200lbs? If so thats insaine Edited September 18, 2005 by Testtube (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testtube Posted September 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 (edited) They look very similar to the ones in your Sig. They may be the same rims. Is there a site with some additional Info about these trucks? Iam going to have to say the coolest features are going to be the Sunroof and the XM radio along with Onstar. Now i have somone to talk to on those long drives Edited September 18, 2005 by Testtube (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonmalibuss Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 I have used my Onstar once and that was to find a local tire store to get 04Chase a new lugnut when we were at the track so we didn't spend a whole bunch of time searching. They pin pointed exactly where I was and gave me dirrections to the closest place we left and came back to the track in less than 10 min.
