So I picked up the Tow Rig/DD today...

[Burnall4]

Sorry for the crappy pictures, I picked up the truck at night. These are from the craigslist add. I will take some of my own tomorrow in the light

Its a 2005 Chevy K1500 5.3L V8
Charcoal Gray, Beige interior
Chrome package
Tow Package
Premium Sound
Power seats
Satellite radio
DVD (factory)
Rear Entertainment Controls
Spray in bed liner
etc...


Best part 22,000 original miles, one owner...and I ordered the vanity plate NEEDRGR

Picked up for $16k for those who will ask, I got lucky


Funnier story, my sister and borther in law just picked up a car today too. 2000 Volvo XC70 AWD station wagon with 30k original miles. every option imaginable, the window sticker says it was 52K new...oh and she only paid $8.5K for it. Owner just passed away and her daughter sold it, after having the 30K/90K service done. All service done at the dealership anyway, just thought that to be funny we both got great deals on cars.

We are trying to find my mom something cuz she needs a new car, but she is too picky

Nice truck!!

I have a few of these for my work. The only thing to look for is when the brakes need replacing, go to NAPA for aftermarket rotors and brake pads. The GM stuff doesn't last as long as the aftermarket. The truck comes with ceramic pads but the aftermarket semi-metallic pads from NAPA are way better for towing.

Other than that they are great trucks. Enjoy.

Thanks! I found every excuse to drive around town tonight, I haven't been this happy about a vehicle purchase since I bought my first car when i was 16

Yeah I was looking at Rams too, with the incentives they are throwing around I could have gotten a brand new truck for almost the price i paid for this

Nice! You'll be happy with that! Crew cabs rule!

Awesome deal, man. I've got a pretty good deal too. My F150 is a company fleet vehicle that they let us use as a personal truck. It's got the big v8, and I only pay 5.5 cents per personal mile (that I report). Works out to like 50 cents a mile when I'm towing the trailer.

Screw recession. last summer I bought a truck that gets 12mpg! Screw tree huggers too!

FYI this country has more trees now than we did in 1905.
