I'm driving a 2007 GMC 3500 Duramax/ with a landscape dump bed.
That's cause my 2004 F-250 Cost me over $13,000 in repairs; blown radiators, broken AC , blown Head gasket...repaired with head studs as well as a few other incedents. So I'm selling the Ford.

Roughly $800 per year for the Saturn and GMC each for 12 months coverage...wife and I are both retired with spotless driving records, and both nearly 60. Cutlass is only driven 3 months a year, Buick 6 months. Roughly $2100 per year for full coverage for all 4.

BK how do you like your SportTrak? My brother has one, about a 2001 model, something like 170,000 miles on it now.

The first pic. is the '01 Chevy 2500HD that I just traded off; 6L w/167K on it.

Other three are of my (NTM) '06 Chevy 1500 crew w/5.3L, 52K, very clean. Besides getting up in miles, I just don't need a 3/4 anymore! I had been occasionally towing 12-13K with the 3/4, now that I've sold my "Two-Cylinders", my biggest tow will be around 7K.

I had been having to drive 80 miles (one way) to the Hosp. to see the wife, with some town driving added, it was costing me $45/day for gas with the 6L, :eek: with the 5.3L I paid $42.35 for a trip & a half! :smile: While she was in the Hosp., I went out & traded! :biggrin: I did call her before I wrote the check! :biggrin:

I put on a Extang, Solid fold tonneau cover on it in place of the fabric cover (security), still need a new receiver hitch, the one on it is lighter than I like & looks like it was parked in a salt pile! Have a class V on order (back ordered :frown:). ~~ grnspot110

I like it just fine, except that I have the 4.6 V8 and mileage isn't great (18 max)- mine is all wheel drive all the time and I can't lock out the front. I don't believe it was an option - I have 4WD auto, 4WD High, and 4WD low

I drive to work a '05 Chevy Silverado 2500HD with 122000 miles on it. My wifes car is a '97 Caddy
Catera with over 100000 miles also which I currently am repairing an oil cooler problem, so she is
driving my daughters '02 cavalier.

I also own a '94 Chevy Corvette Z-R1 with 28000 miles and only drive a few hundred miles a year

The third pic with the rear view of the 1500 shows a John Deere plate, not a standard registration plate...is that legal where you live?

Now JD you shouldn't pick on my little roller skate, it's the sport model and that thing has a 4 cylinder turbo and gets 38 on the hwy.:thumbsup: I did ask the guy at Mini about putting on a hitch so I could use it to pull my trailer and he said a hitch is available but he just :laughing: at me and said he wouldn't recommend it doing it. I agree it would be a site to see. Besides the F-150 does just fine for the trailer.

Sorry, couldn't resist kidding you...:biggrin:

My Buick and Saturn have hitches and they are (cars) rated for 1,000 lbs. but I can put a half ton of cargo in my 750 lb. utility trailer and they do darn good at pulling it.

I just transferred the 18,000 licence from the '01, in MO they just provide one plate over 12,000 & want it on the front. I'll go back to 12,000 next year. IA & other states don't like that, but it is my understanding (for private vehicle) if you're legal in your home state, your legal nation wide as to plate placement. Doesn't mean they can't hassle you, just can't do anything about it! ~~ grnspot110
