    2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 Z71 Regular Cab Stepside 5.3l Vortec, 85000 miles. I'm currently looking to buy my own truck of around the same year extended cab 6 foot bed. I eventually want to get a Duramax.


    And a suggestion; You should add Dodge in there aswell.

    Might as well ask "why do people compare computers?" "Why do people compare <insert item>)"

    Cause we can an it's great conversation as Tater said. If it doesn't interest you, why read the thread? Or if in person, maybe walk away or ask to move on to a different subject. I'm not a "Mine is better then yours!" but I do enjoy at times listening to folks compare trucks, cars, computers, etc. Never know when what their saying might prove useful.

    An guest now?

    Man I miss skippy at times..

    I run a 1998n Freightliner with a Timberjack mounted on the back. Great for loading scrap of any sort.

    1991 MAZDA b2600i 4x4 5 speed, before mazda and ford trucks were the same, and after mazda stopped using mitsu engines this one is actually a mazda. great little truck!! tall and light and can get through anything. people say "but that truck is so small to haul with" true, its not a full-size, but I also get great mpg, so I don't care if it takes me an extra trip, and two, the thing is a tank! I've had excess of 900 lbs in the bed with no problems. pretty good for a little 4 banger!
