Default Should I?

Trade my truck in for 2005-2006 M6 GTO? I've always wanted one, and was looking into it before I got the truck. What do yall think?

I understand what you mean. I've thought about getting a M6 LS2 GTO too. I won't trade my truck in for one because a GTO will never offer all the capabilities and convenience as a truck will. Yeah, GTO's are fun to drive and look good but.......that is it!! A truck will not only tow/haul stuff but it also has a very similar aftermarket world for performance modifications. If you don't think you need a truck now, I guarantee you will need one in the future.

half the guys on here probably never even put your tailgate down and take there tonneau covers off, dont get rid of your truck just because you dont use it as a truck, that is if you dont anyways

Just seems like he wants more power, bettere mileage and a faster vehicle and thats what he will get by getting a goat. You are right about half of us not using our trucks. I used mine as a truck all the time.

I really don't use my truck. The only time I really used it was hauling furniture around for my mom when I was back in houston. I am looking for comfort and power and that's a GTO. I love my truck though, this is kinda just up in the air. Yall keep trying to bribe me to keep it lol

Yeah, do it....I'll even sweeten the deal by buying your headlights for $50.

Seriously though, I think GTOs are a bit on the heavy side and the styling isn't quite there. I do like them, but wouldn't trade my truck for two.
