full size truck 4x4

[JoeliusZ28]

wow no torque? the only 4.7 i ever drove was in a dakota and that thing MOVED for what it was.

[sman]

Yea, my buddies ram had a 4.7 and it pushed it around quite well, I was impressed when he said it was only a 4.7.

ill keep an eye out for ya too. There was an absolutely flawless loaded 2000 Z71 for sale near campus a few weeks ago for 9K. It sold fast though. Im so glad i hung onto mine.

The red one? I was tempted by that, went and checked it out a couple times since I had to stare at it everytime I left work. It went for sale on a thursday, I think I saw 20 cars stop by while I was painting a roof at work, saturday afternoon it was gone.. I wondered how it could have been that PERFECT seeing as it had 90k miles, It was flawless because it was repainted, I looked underneath and there was overspray all over.

I'll keep my eye out for ya man, don't usually see too many of these go up for sale lately.

There is a 1997 ext cab Siverado 1500 in town if you want to me to details/number. From what I remember it said 350, auto, 90k, 5000obo on the windshield.

[JoeliusZ28]

yes that is the one, but no it was not repainted. He simply had the cab corners redone which is a very common rust area on those trucks. My dads 02 has some bubbling there and it only has 40K well kept miles on it.

my 4.7 got awesome gas mileage. I could get 300 miles to a tank of gas.

How big was the tank?

My 4.7 Dakota got 14.5mpg Highway 13 city with the 3.70 rear gear...real peppy truck.

I know it was a 20 some gallon tank.

But I was getting more towards 18mpg total combined highway and city.
I drove 150 miles a week back and forth to work going on an average 60mph.

But the 4.7 was VERY peppy, quickest SUV I ever drove.
BUT....you put a snowmobile trailer behind it, you knew the trailer was there that's for sure. And that was only a 2 place.

If I'm going to spend the $$ on a Chevy/GMC, I would like the newer body style 99 and newer.

Looking at a 1999 Chevy Tahoe. 5.7L He will take $5600.00 for it. 118,000 miles on it.


But do I really want a Tahoe? It's very clean with no rust.
But a 4 door Tahoe?? It does have aftermarket rims and nice tires on it though LOL!

You had a durango and your complaining about a tahoe?

[tenpin842]

LOL....a Tahoe is a little bigger.
Plus, I don't think there that good on gas.
I know a truck would be better.

but I'm just a single guy, do I really want a 4 door Tahoe?
LOL...the guy is the 2nd owner. And bought it to drive to Colorado and back with his family. Now he's selling it.

I just thought it was a bit big for a single guy like myself.

but think of all your buddies when u want to go on them snowmobile trips and all the space in the back for suits, and helmets and stuff

True there. There is a lot of room. plus I know it will haul our 4 place with no problems.

I guess I can try to talk the guy down more. He was at $5900.00.
He said he would take $5600.00.
If I blue book it...it's worth a lot more then hes asking.
Then sell it in the spring.
I'm not sure, I really would like a truck.

[kammi10]

yeah but think of when it snows if the truck doesnt have a bed cover or anything you really cant throw all your gear back there... try and talk him down and use it for the winter and sell it in the spring

[78mali350]

I would swap my truck for a tahoe anyday simply for the matter of having it covered. There are a lot of times where it would have been nice to have it covered and I even have a cover on my truck bed but it still isn't 100% clean. Tahoe would be a great buy go for it! sell it in the spring if you dont' want it
