    Except mine was off the manufacturers site. Jesus GMCs are pricey. Optioned I hit 78k!
    GM has huge incentives, you would never actually have to pay that.

    You would need a 16 cyclinder quad turbo to get that out of a gasser. haha
    Yeah, I know you could have a lot more power, to be honest, what I really want is a better transmission. I'm still stuck back in 4-speed world and let me tell you, it's a long way between dem ratios.

    Yep, The trailer is only a few hundred pounds heavier than mine, but almost 20 years newer, and from the looks of it, has a few conveinicens mine might lack, like space.

    My truck is about to roll over to 222,222 km, so that's pretty exciting. Maybe I should get it to 250k before I upgrade.

    My end game is totally a diesel. Who knows, maybe even my next truck.

    This would be it: http://shar.es/zEiZK

    little pricey, but damn, this would be an awesome tow vehicle.

    ^ that's pretty much my exact truck except mine's a 2012. I got mine for quite a bit less than that price though, $52k I believe. You can pay that much for a loaded half ton anymore.

    I also have the sunroof (useless feature) and 20" rims. I don't have the backup camera though, It'd be nice to have but mostly useless to me because I usually have the truck camper on so my tailgate is off.

    Did you almost buy it from Border City in LLoyd ??

    It's a nice trailer. We bought in Michigan , had it towed to Sweetgrass , and pick it up from there.Saved about 4K .
