Thanks again guys, for the welcomes. So, I picked up the new truck yesterday...and I have to say...this is an impressive vehicle.
First, let me start by saying...I grew very attached to my Armada....so I will miss it. I had it for 7 years...so it really was like an extension of me. Everything was where I was used to it...you guys know how it is. It was far superior to the Expedition before it, and I really liked it a lot.
But enough of that. This new Yukon is more refined...quite a bit. Not quite as powerful....but I'm not driving this to go fast. So I don't really miss that. I'll take the smooth ride and nicer interior any day.
Funny story though...I bought my truck this past Saturday..it was raining out that day. So when I saw the truck, it was black...or so I thought. When i went to pick it up yesterday, it was about 7pm...so there was just a sliver of sunlight hitting the front of the truck...that's when I realized that this thing had metallic flakes....I knew it was called "carbon black metallic"...I just didn't put two and two together.
Fortunately...it looks great....so I don't mind. And looking at the window sticker shows that it was a couple hundred bucks extra for this paint...so, bonus! With the big 20" chrome wheels, this thing looks really killer. I still am waiting for my chrome grille and mud guards (should have them in a few days)...but I did take a few pictures. These were from my phone, so forgive me...they definitely don't do this thing justice. When the accessories are on, I promise, I'll take some proper photos. But for now...just a couple taken this evening. You tell me this thing aint black
I'll tell you one thing. It's a good thing I ended up liking the paint...cause at that point, I had already signed all the paperwork. Just goes to show you...don't go car shopping on a rainy day!
Thanks again!
