Thanks, I thought that sounded a bit fishy. I found a half ton 3 door 5.3 liter 4x4 with 200k that doesn't look too bad. Red with black round rubber tires on it....lol. Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

Hi bfgoodmudder,

Welcome to the Chevy forums.

IMO it's a great trade. But I happen to drive(BIG SURPRISE) a Silverado K2500. That is one sharp-looking rig.

After a couple years, the 3/4 tons usually need a little looking after. Between mods, upgrades, and maintenance, I sort of look at it as a dedicated hobby.
But when you're in traffic, all those commuters driving mid-size sedans, minivans, and subcompacts are looking at YOU, and thinking "Wow, I wish I had a BAMF truck ...".

 

I hear ya on that one. I like big trucks. Still miss my 6.5 liter 3/4 ton suburban 4x4. I probably should have jumped on the trade when I had the chance but I may have an offer on a 98 single wheel 1 ton crew cab 6.5 liter. 2wd but still alotta truck. The 6.5 makes me a little nervous though. The one in my suburban had terminal problems with the ecu.
