My new ride

[mtondreo]

lets see if this works. It is a 2011 with heavy tow. I was not my first color choice - but I kind of like it now.

Very nice! Ahhhh the new car smell...

Good color!

Thanks guys. Wife hated the color, but she drove it yesterday to get the remote start done-now she loves it. they are doing the remote start tomorrow because I decided I wanted 2-way communication, so they are doing an alarm also. Gonna miss not being able to use the keypad. Still trying to adjust going from a 3.73 rear end to a 3.3x, that has been a difficult adjustment. Hoping a tuner will help. It had every other option I wanted-so brown it is.

why won't the keypadwork?

 

[mtondreo]

It will still work-but I think if you unlock with the keypad instead of using the alarm fob, I believe the alarm will go off. The vehicle will still be armed and see the unlocking of the door by keypad as an intrusion (I think). I have not gone over this with the guy to make sure, and probably won't have the chance since wife is dropping it off. If the keypad disarms the alarm-that would be great. I commonly lock my keys in the truck and use the keypad to get in, just so I don't have to carry them (ie, out in the boat, out in the woods). But I will find out tomorrow. Not even sure what type of system they are using. I just know I wanted 2-way so it told me when it started instead of having to go to a window to see if it did.

I'm jealous of your ride, I love the color alot.

 

[GAINMOB]

get wrap or paint job....lol

 

[mtondreo]

thanks Nathanielson - has grown on me and the wife absolutely loves it now, she keeps taking it from me.

Not cool Freeway

I am happy to be out of the red one though - no real issues with red, but it definitely stood out and I had some bad paint blemishes on it

absolutely love the ride of the new one though

what i say?

 

[toms89]

what i say?

Think he was refering to your previous post...

get wrap or paint job....lol

But I think you were directing that at Nathanialson but its not clear.

 

[mtondreo]

that is correct freeway - thought you were talking about me complaining about the color of my Expy. I actually looked because I remembered someone posting up this color scheme before and I replied that it would not be my first color choice - now here it is. But liking it now. Was embarrasing when my wife called while I was finishing the paperwork and said please tell me you are not getting that color - the sales guys and finance guy could not believe it (I sent her a pic). Like I said we both like it now and absolutely love the vehicle. still have to address the subwoofer (lack of) issue. also this color is actually difficult to see dirt on - I don't clean the outside much, just not my thing.

 

[GAINMOB]

yeah that wasnt for you...where in florida are you and how dont you wash the truck? how can you say such a thing!!! lol

 

[mtondreo]

Tampa Bay area-west coast of FL. My trucks usually get detailed about every 6 months. Other than that, not very often. I usually will clean love bugs and stuff off, other than that - too much other stuff going on entertaining the kid.
