Any interest in non 's ?

Sure, a cheap Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade is on the list. I really just need something that can tow the boat.

This makes me wish I bought the Buick Rainier V8 I looked at for my dad a couple weeks ago. V8 BOF cush mobile.

An Envoy XUV would be

Whenever you're ready you have a few of us in no rust climates.









This thing was dealer maintained, rust free, v8, and sold for $3500

Thanks! I'll be looking over the next few months, just waiting for the market to die down. The debate will be leasing a new CT or buying an old thing rust free from south/west

What's a V8 CT lease for?

No idea, depends on the truck and deals at the time. I think I'd prefer to just own a rust free GMT800 or similar.

It might be worth going for the CT to save 3-4k on a used truck while waiting for people to forget what they have

That's quickly approaching status.

We'll see what the market looks like when the time comes.

Well, I'm willing to travel anywhere in the country for it and I don't care what it is as long as it can tow 6-7k lbs. Max always manages to find great looking trucks out west, so I feel like this could be doable. Again, no rush and I know the market is jacked right now, so we'll see what shakes out.

Sorta but they sold like 300-500k a year of these things. It honestly isn't that hard...

It is hard to find one that has under 150k miles and an owner that actually gave a damn. People really drove these things like Land Cruisers, its just really hard to find one that isn't all used up.

That said @Chris can you give me a price point/miles/truk vs non truk ?
I know 4x4 is a must...
No rust is a must
As mod free as possible
Rebuilt tranny is a plus (they all seem to fail)
Sub 10k I already got... but any other absolute NO NOs ?

I don't even care that much about mileage if it's clean and clearly been well maintained. Sub 200k would be nice. Sub $10k, I don't care what vehicle it is. But, I really want something on the smaller side. Tahoe before Suburban, extended cab over crew cab, etc. I don't even necessarily care about the brand. I don't like Fords, but could get over it for the right truck. I'd even consider a Toyota if it was worth it (an older Tundra, Seqouia, Landcrusier?). If it tows 6-7k lbs and has a history of reliability, I'll consider it.

Not looking to buy immediately, just keeping a pulse on the market. If the right came up, I'd make it happen, but that seems extremely unlikely right now.

And if nothing comes up, and new leases are still stupid, I may just rent a truck to tow the boat when needed like we discussed in a different thread. Unlike the CTrek, this is not an urgent purchase by any means.

That's a nice denali....once again in pewter metallic Problem with Denalis is 6.0 sucks gas for no real point, AWD means no 4LO which is sometimes VERY HELPFUL on a slick boat ramp. Nice truck though, would buy for $7500 all day long.

6.0 Means 4LO is for pussies or cucks who didn't spring for the real engine.

Also gas sucking on a GMT800 is part of the entry fee. None of these thing will average above 15

Durango 5.9 is actually another epic rig.

Nah 4L0 lets you crawl out of quicksand but I appreciate your combativeness. The 5.3 in 2WD at 65 or less gets you high teens/20. The 6.0 in perma AWD means 10-15 all day err day.

That's not real life for most... What do you average in your rig? When I had my 4.7 powered 5 speed JGC I was getting 15.5 all day everyday.
A +800 lb -1 speed and +.6L powered ancient rig should be at that at best...

But yea the 6. will get worse mpg no doubt.

I live an hour from the nearest freeway on ramp All of my driving is on 55mph 2 lane roads, unless we go on a trip.

That said, I really would like 4Lo...I use it more than most for various things. I don't need a big dick engine, just something with adequate torque for towing.

My 5.3 got 22-23 at 65mph. Highway 3.21s and street tread pattern help alot

I love this. Transmission seems to be the weak point, and IIRC Melon mentioned there were some front suspension things with Dakotas (which I imagine translates to the Durango).

I really don't want a truck with 3.21's unless the engine is huge.

I love the 5.9 Durangos, but for 2003 the 4.7 got a 5spd auto which might be worth having over the extra 15hp and 30tq.

For towing I don't blame you, but the L33 5.3 had more than enough power with that gear for everything else.

The only reason I'm looking for a vehicle like this is to tow the boat. And even then that's proving to be a 2x/year thing, so I might very likely just rent/borrow a vehicle for that and get another cuck mobile when we need a 2nd car.

Or go anti-cuck and pick up a new BRZ Curious what the new WRX will look like too.

4.7 w/5speed. I'm into it.






BUUUUTTTTTTT. I also kind of support just renting a truck whenever you need it, and buy something you'll prefer driving the other 360 days a year
