Went and test drove it today, then went to the bank to make sure all was good- which it was.
has the 6.0 GAS. EXT cab, 4X4.
Has anyone ever had one? I see on KBB they say MPG's are 10-11 highway .. and I just don't see that being true. It has to be better than that, IMO. Are they right?
They also say my 03' silverado 1500 only gets 16 highway, which is a complete BS piece of information . a little assistance on this, please?
you might be a redneck if you say "Gun show was full today,ammo going out the door. Bought 900 rnds of 223 lake city brass,for 450.00.. "

I'm not sure but you got to think,that is a heavy truck that engine is pulling.My friends SS he use to have only got around 16-18 and it was a half ton with AWD. But it all depends on how you drive and what you are doing with it.Good luck with your deal and post pics if you get it.

Had a co-worker with a 2003 4X4 regular cab. Had the 6.0 as well. I believe it was good for more like 13-14 on the highway. Good motor, from what I've seen.

the diesel is a long ways out. insurance on a diesel for me right now is over 600/month ... not good.
but if i come across a boat load of money, i would deff. buy one, simply for the power. I don't think i will be getting the 2500HD either. Ill just sink the money into my truck to make it how i want it and still get way better gas mileage!

Why does it cost more to insure a diesel powered truck than a gas powered one? I don't get what the fuel type has to do with risk factor. $600 a month could insure a Ferrari, for Christ's sake.

Must be the payment and insurance?

no, 600 a month is only the insurance. I currently pay 270/month for my silverado ... which is actually more expensive than the truck payment!
The reason it's so high for me is my age. I'm just under 2 weeks before i turn 21. My driving record is perfect! 2 tickets -speeding and improper stop (4 years ago, off my record now). No accidents, DUI's, reckless drivings, NO NOTHING! And here I thought age discrimination was illegal ... apparently not.
