Still doesn't solve the issue of being in Texas when your truck breaks. What do you do then?

This is a decision that pretty much everyone has faced. The debate will never lend itself to a decisive victor. I chose to build my truck exactly how I wanted it. It ends up being cheaper to start, but you run into alot of snags on the way. When something breaks I pay for an upgraded piece. My truck will never be exactly how I want it and that is the fun of it. If you think that what you recieve will be everything you want then I say go for it. That 36K warranty can go pretty quick though and I swear they build these things to break at around 37K .

I think that sticker price was an ext cab or tahoe or something cause the reg cab is going for about $34,000-33,000 same as lightning. Thats what i want something like a lightning but a chevy!!!!!

Almost get you a viper truck for that much cash. I agree you can build a better truck for that.
When is chevy going to build a high preformance truck that a blue collar guy can afford?

They probably wont ever build one but this to me is a badass truck and I cant pass it up. I just talked to a salesman at one of the only dealerships in Texas that has these trucks and he said prices are very negoticable right now plus they have a $4000 incentive!!!! So I can drive out for under 30,000 with this truck!!!!!!!! Not bad.

I have to agree financing a package deal would be best. Warranties don't mean sh*t, I've only found one dealer that would honor them honestly and fix what's wrong. I drive 40k a year, so warranties are useless to me. You just have to watch financing though, they like to screw you!! Most people don't know that the Finance Manager makes a killing off of you by selling you extended warranties and a higher APR. The best way to buy a new vehicle, is to not trade anything in, because you'll be at their mercy. That's why I'm stuck with 2 car notes, they won't give sh*t on trade-ins.
