I had been considering buying a new truck and looking hard into the chevy crew cab 1500 4x4. Marc Heitz Chevrolet is a sponsor for The BASSZONE so I got in touch with them and they made it worth the drive to Norman Oklahoma and put me in a new truck today. I cannot say enough about the guys over there and how hard they worked to get me in and out even with my last minute change request.

The truck we had talked about was already cleaned and ready when I arrived at 3:00pm today but I had not realized some things were not on there that I really wanted. They had another white truck on the lot with the accessories I wanted and a little more but that did not stop them from making me a deal I could not refuse and they had me on my way home by 5:15pm with a sparkling clean truck and a full tutorial on all the buttons and knobs.

Considering the drive time there and back and the 2 hours at the dealership, I think they still beat the amount of time it usually takes to get a truck purchased at most other dealerships.

Great experience and I would recommend them to anyone interested in a new truck. Lee promises he will make it worth the drive and is even willing to deliver to the metroplex if needed.

I'll take some pictures and post them tomorrow. I am very happy with my purchase experience and my purchase.
Thank you Lord for my family and the waters I get to fish

Great news Mike. Not all things from Oklahoma are bad. Enjoy the new ride.

Mark Heitz also has a great incentive plan for tournament anglers. Maybe they can expand that to Southern Oklahoma (North Texas).

Here is a picture of the new ride. I need to get over to the sign place and get her dressed properly. :-)

So far I am getting 18.1 MPG over 200+ miles.

Sweet ride Mike. I averaged 18.8 MPG on my way to Toledo. I kept it around 70MPH. I'm not saying what I got on my way home:-)

Mike, I have a slide-in camper for sale that would fit perfect in the back of that truck. Your mpg might go down but you would be flying in style.

Congrats Mike. 4x4 means you have no excuse to visit PINS one of these days.

One word... SAND... :-)

I just traded out the tires on the truck this morning for some Nitto Terra Grapplers. Discount tire gave me $75 credit/tire for the ones that it came with. I stuck with the little 265/70/17 size and by the time I wear those down I hope to have worn the wife down on letting me put a lift on the truck to be able to fit some 305s under it... :-)
