Welcome from Miami Beach&NYC Philip!

Nice find on your extremely low mileage 2013 PPV. Looks to be in excellent condition. Hopefully you got some service records with it.

Don't forget to check out the PPV section.

Welcome and nice! That's Chicago Motors, right? What did you think of them?

I think it was a pretty easy deal, it seems to be as described, I elected to have it delivered so I've only ran it up and down the road a bit to make sure it shifted and had no motor noise. I dealt with a guy named Ted, he answered what I asked, the provided car fax was nice and the 54 photos pretty much showed what you needed to see.
I'd deal with them again.

Welcome Phil! Truck looks great. Don't see many PPVs with hitches, could you do me a favor? I'd like to know what your truck's GVW rating is and the cargo capacity in the Tire and Load Information sticker in the door jamb for the files I keep on these. PPVs usually have a GVWR of 6700, the lightest of all the versions. A pic of the hitch sticker would be helpful too. They usually read 600 and 1000 or 600 and 1100 for the 1500 chassis. If you have a PPV specific owner's manual, it should also have the gross trailer weight ratings.

Oh, what other hot rods have you had? I used to own and race a bunch of Buicks.

Thanks fellas, here's the option sticker and the GVW/tire sticker

The only Buicks I've had was an 86 T-Type with a few mods and I turned down my brother's 66 Skylark GS 401/4spd car when I was to young to realize the rarity of that car..lol
My current cars are a traditional inspired t-bucket with a decent 355 that went 7.30's in a 66 nova
