im not wild about the newer body styles at all. i still like my body style the best although it's pretty dated. if i was to buy a new truck it would be the dodge or tundra. new chubbys are not my style.

I agree.... with the 99-02 trucks both GMC's and Chevrolets look great but from 03 and up, the GMC's are the only way to go. I did see a new dodge that I looked twice at yesterday.... guilty as charged

My favorites are still the 06/07 Silverado Classic body style. I'm really torn between a new Sierra and new Ram. Ram has the power with the hemi/vs the 5.3 liter and I love the looks, but reading the ram boards they seem to have a good deal of nit picky issues with them. Where as this 07 NNBS I'm driving right now has been bar-none the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned.

Hard to stray from GM when I've had the luck I've had with my current truck, its just racking up the miles quickly.

Pick up a low mile 2010 6.2, you'll save enough money to get the upper level interior and have the painted bumper.

We'll see. I'm still a few months away from when I'm going to really start shopping around. Trying to get a few bills paid off first.
