[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 679622, member: 1780"] Sounds like since its something that you don't really "need" and aren't set on just any one brand, there's a chance you may sell one day. You want to make sure you buy something that will hold it's value. I'm not pushing Chevy/GMC because of brand loyalty, it's just that those are great trucks, look good, and the majority of buyers out there are looking for those trucks, not 10+ year old Fords and Dodges. The 3/4 ton gasser that I had sold for $16,500 a couple years ago. It was an 06 GMC 2500HD 4x4 SLE (middle trim model) with 130k miles. **** fuel mileage, but sold within a week of listing it and I had 3 people in line to buy it if the first guy backed out. It was then I knew I listed it a little too cheap. BUT, I owned it for 5 years, traded a 2002 Z06 Corvette for it and some boot, and wound up with $17,300 in the truck in stock form. It had 94k miles on it when I got it. I put some wheels and tires on it, and that was pretty much it over the course of the 5 years I owned it. Then sold it for $16,500 after using it for 5 years and 36k miles later. I feel like I done pretty well on that. Wouldn't have worked out like that if it were a half ton Dodge. :flipoff1: With anything under 150k miles being considered "low" on these trucks, mine only has a little over 120k miles on it now, I could drive it another 2-3 years and still sell it for what I gave for it, should I decide to do so. That's a good feeling. The market is so different for Chevy/GMC half tons than Dodges. They are like Polaris in the sxs world, which owns 3/4 of the market share.
