So does spending $70 a week on gas to get back and forth from work

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

my dad spends $35 a day in gas.....quit yer whinin

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Must travel quite a bit. I remember $90 every 5 days in the truck. That was not fun. I can't imagine $35/day.

He drives too much, I thought averaging over $20 a day was bad.

I the new mac book

Hope he doesn't use the burban for that...

After much pain and toil, I am leaning towards the dark side.

I really need a newer truck as I am done with mine.

My whole life I have been a Ford guy, and obviously German imports.

I drove a big Dodge today--feels like a truck and I don't mean a pickup.

Drove an F250 Diesel, just flat out to friggin' big to drive around a city for me though. I feel like a pucker in something so big.

Drove an F150 and I tell ya, the era between the 96's and the new F150's is not at all for me. The SuperCrew is sort of neat as you get four doors, but a 4' box just won't do it for me.

97 concorde

same engine as the new mags,300's

It feels more peppy though

Needless to say, I drove a couple Chev's and actually liked them. I didn't want to, but they feel nimble and connected to the road. I am sure that they wouldn't hold up offroad, or do super towing big stuff but my boat only weighs 3800lbs so it isn't really that big. Plus I understand they get much better gas mileage and swallow a stereo easier. I have to decide soon as my headunit will be here and then I need a vehicle.

The only downer is I'd really like a leather bench but those are uber rare. Easy to come by in the Dodges which probably was half the reason I was leaning that way.

The next question

Any bad years or things to look for in these trucks?

1999.5 - 2002

Chevy Ext Cab

4wd -- prefer with towing and Z71

I'd love an LT and will hold out from the leather

Prefer 4 door, which leaves 2001+ (or a really rare optioned one)

5.3L is what I have been looking at....

Nope...all of them have minor recalls and the most major being the brakes up north...You may want to ask about the ABS systems and road salt. I have the paper work at home if you need further details. Simply fix from the dealership.

I love mine, Definatly get the 5.3l...

I am sure that they wouldn't hold up offroad, or do super towing big stuff but my boat only weighs 3800lbs so it isn't really that big.

Haven't had any problems yet.

Put both trucks through some pretty deep off roading adventures and they've held up just fine.

And I've towed 15000lbs back and forth to the lake through the mountains a few times.

thanks Steve I'm always so curious about what other people eat.

Is the shake a creamy or fruity one?

Note to Jim, this Toto LP is the best sounding I've heard yet.... first time I've heard that Vinyl upside

mmm I love the new coffee chick. she makes all the chit to the book and puts extra tea.

numm.
