Do you love your truck?

[02_Tahoe]

I'm going to keep this Tahoe for a while, I'm only 17 and it's my first vehicle that I paid for, ($1500) and I obviously can't afford anything more than that. When I got it, it had 225k miles but the transmission was rebuilt at 223k miles. Until I can afford to make payments on a new truck and still have a good amount of money coming in so I'm not struggling to pay it, I'm keeping this thing. And I'm going to school for diesel/automotive so if something breaks I just pay for the part. And even if the damn engine blows up you can get one with around 80k miles on it for about 1200, fairly cheap to repair these trucks, even fairly cheap to mod. My dad has an 07 ram 2500 with the Cummins engine and it costs him a fortune to repair that thing. His transmission went up at 112k miles this past February and it cost him over 3k for the transmission and after everything said and done it was 4300 if I remember correctly.

 

[D is for DENALI]

If you can get away with not making payments, you are in the butter zone.

This applies to all liabilities, like a house, boat, motorcycle, hell, even your toolbox youll end up with after you get your degree...

Live within your means, play hard, wear a ******.. life is good if you do these things.. u nless you want to have a kid, then cancel #3 and replace it with, credit cards are for suckers.

<< that's a ginger beer, cause youre underage..lol

I can gladly say I've never been a slave to the wretched banking system in my whole life. 2 up in the air for sure.. It feels absolutely liberating to know at 37 years old I can say I've payed for everything I've ever signed for and can openly tell the rothchilds to **** themselves... hahhahha

Solid advice.

I fuggin love my avy, and the value is going up. Daughter says shes getting it in 3 years when she drives, but we shall she. I need to get a Lexus gs350 "beater" to add to the fleet to keep the miles off it (have you seen how quickly they drop in value?). I saw a nice 14 gs for $27k with 30 some mile - about half sticker. My 5.3 LC9 is good for at least 250-300k. Im gonna be Eastwood in Grand Torino with this mo fo...

I love my 05 Denali. I love sex more.

Styling is subjective, but the only big GM SUVs I like that are newer than what I have are the NNBS Escalades. I don't plan to get rid of my Denali, but if it were totaled on the way home today and I had to buy something else, I'd look at a 07-14 Escalade. The NNBS Tahoes look ok, but the Yukons and Denalis look terrible IMHO.

Am I the only one that thinks the current gen Tahoe, Yukon, and burb look like a hearse? First black one I saw, I actually thought it was a hearse. I think it's the chrome rear side trim.

I agree with all your points. And IMO the current gen look nice after ALL the chrome is removed and they're slammed with some big wheels. Then you know they're definitely not a Hearse.

That's probably true, although I've never seen one with blacked out chrome, on the ground, and big ass wheels.

I wonder if you could do a front clip swap on the new Yukons from the new trucks? That new headlight and grille design on the GMC trucks looks great

I love my 03 Yukon, have 248 K on it , but just recently came up with a weird electrical issue,
still gonna keep it LOL

Sure I love my tahoeee, but I am definitely not stuck with one brand or model. before this I had a Kia

I'm probably the "geezer" of the folks that have responded to this thread so far, but yeah I get attached to trucks. One of my GMC's has been in the family (Mom's then Mine) 46 years and my wife and I bought another used GMC in 1979 and we are still driving it too. Ironically my oldest GMC has only been in the family since 2009!

We really enjoy driving the '06 Denali we bought about 13 months ago and have decided to try to just keep it long as we can too. We try to just leave it sit and just use it for trips or long day drives when we want all the quiet and comfort one of the old trucks doesn't give us.

Just retired from Mercedes and after lease ended the only vehicle I wanted was my 04 Tahoe I used to pull the boat with. So I went through everything all suspension shocks and lowered, hoses, belts w/p, radiator. Replaced trans and updated tires and wheels. So yeah, now I love it!

When I first saw the 2015 Suburban [Black] toward the end of 2014 at a red light next to me I thought I was a hearse for real..Then after seeing other Suburban's and Tahoe's in other colors it grew on me..After renting several 2015 and 2016 Suburban's and Tahoe's for trips to Key West and Georgia decided to get a white 2016 last October.. I love it more everyday.

With that said I still love the older ones and always will!!!!

I bought my 05 Silverado new and I refuse to sell it! worked so hard to pay all that money for a beast of a pickup! My son tells me its gonna be his, and hes correct. My 1948 I cant sell either cause its a piece of history, and who better to protect/preserve it??
The Escalade is my newest toy and quickly became my favorite, do i wish it had a duramax under the hood... sure but I cant see getting rid of it either. Why sell them? Park them in the garage and keep buying more!

My 99 obs burban is my first big vehicle. Could have bought a 03 Tahoe with 251k and a new trans but wanted a big family vehicle and the obs was BIG! I get bored with vehicles alot and agree with just about everyone who has posted before me. Some days i swear ill never sell it other days i want to trade it for a nbs hoe or escalade, some days i dont want a big suv at all. Every day brings a new thought. One thing that discourages me is that its not in better shape. I mean its just a few dings and dents but i see other burbs hoes trucks etc and the are soo much more beautiful than mine. I wasn't blessed with patience so the fact its not perfect after 6 months of owning it is driving me crazy lol.

I have a love mine! But at the same time I’m starting to hate it. So many little problems starting to pop up it’s getting aggravating! But I can’t stop turning around and looking at when I walk away.

Love my wife, kids, grand kids, other family members, etc., but I really LIKE my 2015 Silverado 4X4 Double Cab 1500 bought new and now with 7,700 on the odo. Have really LIKED our 2008 Tahoe Hybrid with (137,000 + miles on it) but it is beginning to show its age. We have spent about $5,000 + on it for some engine stuff, tires and the typical solenoids, etc. Never touched the brakes, shocks, exhaust or any other mechanical stuff. Probably all going to hit at the same time, about 150K. No problems ever with the Hybrid part thus far, knock on wood. But the stinking driver side rear view mirror will not fold in or out any more. Don't know if I will buy a kit to repair it or buy a new mirror. Luckily I hardly ever drive it and it does not bother my wife at all.
