Fratty Countdowns: Fratty Vehicles #4

Chevrolet Silverado z71 Truck


We decided to go with the z71 in this spot, but to be honest the real selection here is the more general category of any full sized pickup truck, and F-150 could just as easily be pictured in this spot.

The full sized truck bears several advantages for its fratdaddy owner.  First of all, be honest, ladies…you love the truck.  You will find that many sorostitutes, especially those from south of the Mason-Dixon Line, have an almost innate attraction to a vehicle that has an actual component called “the bed.”  Coincidence?  We think not.  Pull up to her sorority house beside the GDI in his Corolla who is there to pick up his Plan C Triple Legacy Had-to-Take-Her-Because-Nationals-Told-Us-To girlfriend, and the projection is clear.  You are showing masculinity and confidence…he is showing a douchesque worry about fuel mileage.

This brings us to another point:  fuel economy.  As we mentioned with the Ford Bronco, these trucks drink gas like you drink Fratty Lite while pregaming on Thursday night.  Be sure to rev your engine at redlights whenever you pull up next to a hybrid…someone has to make up for the gas he is saving.

What dropped the full sized truck down to #4 on the list?  Unfortunately, this venerable vehicle has been hijacked…literally…by a number of trying too hard douchebags.  By “hijacked”, I mean they jack the car high in the air, put on monster truck tires and, Frat Gods forbid, fill the back windshields up with stickers that they perceive to be fratty (if you’re wearing Costas, we see they’re Costas…take at least 6 of the 17 Costas stickers on your car off).  If you actually take your truck off-road, a respectable off-road package is fine.  If you break out in a cold sweat if you accidentally hit gravel, don’t make your truck look like this:

As we always say, though, when GDI’s try to usurp fratty territory, we don’t give an inch.  Keep your truck smaller than Gravedigger, and consider taking your z71 and your sorostitute of choice on a “camping trip”…tent not required.

    There is nothing sweeter than the bond between a Pledge and his pickup. It saw Plan A in it’s back seat while I was driving than I will see in my enitre undergrad career.

  5. FRATTYLAX says:

    I am in KAPPA ALPHA ORDER and we didnt get hazed. We did get drunk every night of pledging and get wasted and hit the bars and bring back Plan B’s to the dorms

  6. Kenny Powers says:

    Nice change, thank you.

  7. Beauregard says:

    Chevy lost its frat status when it became socialist and took a bail out.

  8. JIMBO says:

    beauregard… you were a shitty failure on the ‘row and you’re a shitty failure here. as a private company CEO you will gladly take a free pass from the government. that’s what we call effective lobbying, you moron. accepting bailouts is not socialist, it’s exploiting the stupidity of government officials

  9. Futurefratter says:

    FRATTYLAX, what order are you? My brother is KA at duke.

  10. W.A.S.P. says:

    Ford > Chevrolet. I mean Chevrolet is a French name, for God’s sake!

  11. FrattingHard..The AmericanWay says:

    To WASP… you can suck my left nut… for that last comment… give me a Chevy over a ford any day.. “Found on the Roadside Daily” ? I think So

  12. Clayton says:

    Jeeez, who the hell cares if it’s a Ford or Chevy. (Although I was just informed bt DCN that I am the proud owner of The Frattiest Vehicle availabe for sale to the public.)
    As long as it has 4 x4 and leather, you’re good to go!!

  13. SigEpic says:

    Who gives a shit about Ford vs. Chevy?
    Dodge reigns supreme no matter what.

  14. Corey says:

    To Clayton, what vehicle would that be?

  15. Clayton says:

    Corey, I was just making a comical reference to Doug and the site voting my Z71 the frattiest vehicle. I bought my ’05 Z71 new, paid it off, and plan on driving it another 100K miles. My 4th one and never had one slightest problem with any of them.
    I just can’t stand it when people say “Chevy Rules”… “Dodge Sucks”… vice versa… etc. Makes me think ouf a bunch of drunk rednecks in the cheapest seats available at a NASCAR race.
    Like I said, as long as I have leather and Four wheel drive…. I’m good to go!

  16. James says:

    Just going through the archives as my lease is out on my jeep wrangler. I’ve been looking into a truck, what is the word on the ford sport trac? Under fordvehicles it lists it as an SUV but has a bed

  17. Nick says:

    I tell ya whats with poeple not liking lifted trucks just cause we can afford to do that to our vehicles does’nt make it your problem or a subject for your frat buddies to talk about keep your gas saving cars and your goofy opinions to yourself.I have a big ass chevy z71 and it gets pretty decent gas mileage i have no complaints what so ever..
