OK when I saw Riverdude got himself a new truck I thought "Hell if he can get one so can I!"

So here it is...
3/4 ton GMC. 6.0 liter gas, 6 speed transmission. Heavy duty trailer and plow packages.

So did I Milo! rotflmao Very nice Sam! What engine does it have?? :smiley_bike:


So did I, and it says 6.0L JEffro! Dang kids can't even read the fine print anymore. lmao

Nice truck Sam. I just sold one similar in white with about the same equipment package. It was an 03 model though. You got the newer body style. You will like everything about it but the fuel mileage. Good ride. Good power. Not too bad pulling a load.

Well my old Dodge with a tail wind on the interstate would get 11 MPG. I'm hoping this will do 3-4 better, but we'll see. A neighbor bought the same truck last year, traded in one 4-5 years old. He farms and pulls a lot of trailers. He said the newer 6.0 engine was much stronger and better MPG then his last one.

I got 10.8mpg with my 2003 model. . . once. . . on the interstate. I hope you do better. 4.10 or 4.11 gears didn't help me at all. Pulled whatever we needed, but never missed a gas station. haha

Good looking truck Sam! I'm sure it'll pull the chrome off of most anything!!!
