Re: Are you guys as disappointed with 07 and up chevy trucks as i am?

I work for a large utility fleet, and we liked the 900's, particularly the 2011-up HD's. In our 800 series GM trucks, we used to see the upholstery wear very quickly, instrument panel gauge failures, and lots of popped spot welds and sheet metal cracking in the cargo boxes when we mounted large tool boxes and other equipment. The 900's (base WT models) had better seats, no instrument panels problems, and the cargo boxes seem to be a lot stronger. Did notice the top horizontal part of the quarter panel (bed rails) to dent real easy though. 2011 up HD front suspension is the best in the business and the chassis is very strong. Interesting that the new HD's have the same chassis, suspension, and inner cargo box as the 2011-up HD's.

Don't get me started on our Super Duty's...........
