Don't know that I got a great deal but my window sticker was $34337.00, after all my discounts, paid $23675.00. $10662 off sticker. Could have probable gotten it a little cheaper out of state but then shipping would have cost. I'm pretty satisfied with the price and very happy with the way the truck drives. Only gone part throttle so far but this 5.3 has good power. Maybe feels peppy due to the 3.42 rear axle. Tach only reads a tad over 1500 rpm at 60 mph so the rpm is low for a 3.42 axle in that 6th gear.


Can I ask where you picked it up? PM me the dealer info if you don't want to display it on here. Sounds like you got a good deal.

Lone Star on 290 and NW Freeway. Worked with Harry Doggett. Real nice guy and a straight shooter.
