Any major diff between 2011s and 2013s?

Default Any major diff between 2011s and 2013s?

Stumbled across a 2011 LTZ with low miles that can be bought somewhere in the $37-38k range (2wd that stickered ~$57k). Although that is more of a vehicle than what we are looking for, it seems like a pretty decent deal for what it is....

So---question. We don't have to have all the buttons, as a new LT decently loaded would be about the same price....are there any major differences between the 11s and 13s that would make someone lean one way or another? I was thinking that the LTZ may hold its value a little better than a standard LT

I have read that the redesign may not actually hit the lots until 2014 -- unlike the trucks that will be availabe this summer

IIRC the 2012 Nav went a hard drive based system and LTZ has a heated steering wheel. Not sure if 2013 added any new things.

2013 is pretty much the same as 2012.

Any differences at all? I couldn't find any.

thisnthat: A 2WD should have a hefty discount unless in the deep South.

agreed that just about any carmaker these days will be discounting their new ones.. but the LS/LT models only have a $750 rebate with the LTZ models getting a $1500 one...

may wait a week or so b/c i think i read where they are going to announce the 2014 at the North American auto show next week?

I wasn't referring to regular discounts, but one for not having 4WD. They don't sell well except in the deep South.

I get a message once in a awhile about grade braking on the 2013. I will look it up in the 12, to see if its there.

Some paint colors for the 13 are different. Blue ray metallic is awesome.

I'm getting ready to purchase a used LTZ and found these links extremely useful.

Thanks!
