Actually its great to have a truck. I wanna one of those to haul my Ocean Kayak around. I got so much fishing stuff that i load on a kayak. Need some sort of transportation to go around.
Congrats on your purchase.

My brother's in the market, but I told him they're going to be steep. He wants a 3/4 ton, 4WD on top of it. I'd own a truck if they didn't cost so damn much. Hell, I can buy a loaded luxury car for the same price as a stripped down truck, of the same year and mileage!

Thanks. I've always had a truck except for the last year and I've really missed not having one. So, I traded in my old 98 Olds Aurora and bought this. I really am pleased with it. Lots of power and looks. These pics do it no justice at all. Stupid .3mp camera:|

You're right. I originally looked at on '02 Chevy Ext. Cab Z71 but it was 24k with over 47k miles.

Hell, you can get a new one for $26k if you don't go bonkers with the options.

Most of the dealers around here offer up 04 Z71 Ex Cabs for about 25k after rebates.

BTW, nice truck you got, I'll admit to having the wanting for one myself. But since its tax time, I have to pay my "fair share" in a few days.
