Question, is this a factory truck?

Postby SHNOOL [OP] » Mar 01 2012, 12:48am

Our local dealer has about 4-5 of these on their lot as "new" is this something that was done to them after dealer took delivery? Looks pretty non-standard to me. Nice looking truck.

I can't tell by the picture you posted, but three years ago I bought a Chevrolet 2500 pick up that was done by a company called "Southern Comfort" I know it's a company that the trucks are sent to and customized. Mine had a 6 inch lift, big tires/rims, custom paint and some other goodies! The best part it was all covered by the factory warranty! Your pic looks like it a Southern Comfort truck.

Well, if they were shooting for a marketing ploy to interest a younger crowd, I think that the person that ran the demographics may be off their rocker! Seriously, who would put that color combination on a truck? I like the lift and such, but the colors are hideous.

That is something that was done after it left the factory. It's probably a work truck they have fixed up,

Probably an aftermarket garage that did this, kind of like Roush is to Mustangs.

Fun part of buying a truck like that - none of the mods void the factory warranty. I have a local dealer that does this to their trucks in house. Since the work is done by GM mechanics on a new truck, they like to advertise that all mods are covered during the factory warranty periods, including the mods themselves.

Yeah, my dealer sells trucks like these as new as well. Though I gotta agree with Onlyinachevy... that is just an awful color scheme. With as much money as I'm sure they spent on it, they could have done much better.
