Wheels definitely made that truck look even better!

I can't decide if I want to go all out on my truck or jump up to a 250 still. It's killing me lol. And I have to decide on a new toy car as I miss speed lol

Thanks man! i love it! Go all out man! I love mine. It'll pull whatever I want, rides better than a 250, and the oil changes and maintenance is still cheap. We have a '13 SHO that I get my speed "fixes" with. Wife told me yesterday she was gettin bored with it, and have me the green light for wheels, drop springs, tuner and exhaust. Oh yeah! Didn't you get rid of a '13 gt500?

I was thinking about lifting it, but decided against it. Lifting it the way I wanted was going to set me back over 6 grand. I think I'm just going to level it for now and throw some 35's on it. If you want to lift it though let me know. My buddy works at truck toyz in mcallen and he'll hook you up with a great deal.

I just got a quick glimpse at the '15 Platinum on the news. Right now I will say it's interesting. As with most vehicles that change to the next generation, it will take me awhile to decide if I like it or really like it. It does have a remote tailgate with dampers to let it down easy. I really like that.

I am happy I did not wait and went ahead and purchased my '13. The interior on the new one looks real nice, but I am still on the fence about the exterior. Ground clearance looks lower and all trims look like they need bigger tires and a small lift!

^^^I though the same. Of course we know if you have a Ruby Red '13 with pecan seats what else would one need.

I'll need to see it in person too, but it sounds like a lot of good improvements. The 1" lower bed sides and tie downs sound good to me. A more integrated tailgate step will be a big improvement. The way it is now it's rough to sit on and hard to clean pine needles and mulch from. A little larger console plus the new bed light also sounds good. I especially like the new tailgate treatment for the platinum. I wonder what the new mileage ratings will be?
