I have the XLT and paid 35K out the door in 2010. Buy a RAM looks to be better discounts, or better still get a Fagon Wagon, always good deals on those.

Anler Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Oil guys made up some kakamania idea about "summer blend" so they can charge more money during construction season. Meat puppets: oh that was a great idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son bought his truck here- https://www.lauraautogroup.com/specials/used.htm I know its a ways away from you but the numbers are unbeatable (if you are looking) 2017 GMC All Terrain, 6.2L, double cab and loaded. Under 40K OTD with ext warranty for 5 years I believe. It had what they called hail damage. When I say you need a microscope to find the 4 or 5 dings i'm not lying. not looking, yet. i plan to drive this thing until it dies. also want to get the wife's new car paid off first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also rust out faster, you should see some of the 4 year old and older ones here, rust buckets, they would be my last choice in a truck, lots of mechanical problems too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the main problem. Buddy had one rust in 2 years of ownership including oil spraying. He got it fixed under warranty but still way to early to start rusting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to do that years ago..In the Spring time I park my trucks into a lake at paved boat launches..lol leave them sit for 1/2 hour, it washes off some salt.

I always do my own work other than auto trans work, put upper and lower control arms with ball joints on the wife's Avalanche at 121,000, bottoms were shot, I put top ones in as long as I was that into it, pretty simple, took about 2 hours for all 4.
