Hard to find a Duramax in this condition with these low miles at this price. I don't really need to sell it, I am just considering it because I sold the large living quarters trailer I used it to tow with and really do not need a truck this big anymore and somewhat tired of the inconveniences of diesel.. Never been used for hard work, only pulling horse trailers. I thought I was the second owner and guy I bought it from was the first, but the auto check says 3 owners. However, I have had it for the past 95,000 miles out of the 107,000 on it. Just had its 100k check-up about 2 years ago with no problems. This truck has only had an avg of 8000 miles put on it a year and is really just broken in for a diesel. No rust and no accidents, it would be considered in excellent condition except for the fender damage. With good fenders, I have seen comparable trucks like this listed in the $23k-25k range at dealerships. Everything works on it (except electric mirror control on sideways movement, you just push them in/out were you want them and then can adjust up/down as needed). Gooseneck tow ball and outlet in the bed with a Line-X professionally sprayed bed liner. Receiver hitch and bumper pull outlet also work and used recently. Tow transmission button on steering wheel and trailer brake actuator professionally installed under front dash (see pic). Just used push-button 4WD a month ago with no problems, drove great. Six brand new tires less than 2000 miles ago and new front shocks. Beautiful, smooth ride. Good regular maintenance and frequent fuel filter changes, no leaks, does not burn oil.Always starts. Has cold weather plug in if you need it or want to use it. Only been in the shop once about a year after I bought it for new u-joints probably around the 30k mark (which was a weird time for u-joint failure, which perplexed us, but they've been fine since). This truck has tremendous pulling power; had no problems through the Rocky mountains with a loaded 26' foot trailer on it. The performance of the Allison transmission spoils you for any other transmission especially how it saves your brakes. Transmission on this truck has always worked like a dream and made a lifelong fan of me for the Allison and probably the biggest thing I'll miss on this truck.
Left rear fender damage did not occur from an accident but from jack-knifing a flat bed trailer into it and the the speckling on the front of the fenders is from living on 4 miles of gravel road. (see photo details) I have no idea if it is an LS or an LT as there are no markings to that effect, but I believe it is an LT since it is all leather and everything electric with the push-button 4WD. Single CD player. AC blows cold, but is manually controlled (not digital) and not separate on the driver/passenger sides. Other than that, I think it has all options. Even has the fog lights. Front center console does not change into a bench seat, so captain seats in front. Leather all in good shape as front seats have always had seat covers on them. (interior photos are dusty due to living on a gravel road, but it will be cleaned if sold) The ONLY trade I would consider would be for an EVEN trade on a K2500 Silverado or Sierra (Chevrolet/GMC). Since I would be trading a one-ton Duramax for a 3/4 ton gas, the 2500 would have to be newer (2002-2007 range) and lower miles (40k-70k). Must be gas, Must be an HD so it has the tow package, Must be a 4WD, Must be a long bed. Must have cruise. Must be an automatic. Must be a crew cab or will consider an extend cab if the right truck. No regular cabs. I will consider a basic W/T as long as it has cruise. Don't care if the 4WD is on the floor. Can be cloth and have a base interior package. Prefer a spray-in bedliner. Truck must be clean, run great, no accidents (clean carfax) and no rust. Of course, a gas 2500 equipped with an Allison would be given preference over any other trades, but I know they're pretty rare :) Mileage may be slightly higher as I do use it about once a month for small local trips. Payment of balance after deposit is by Bank Wire Transfer ONLY Title free and clear. Truck is available locally so listing may be cancelled at any time. |

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

Buick Encore, Chevy Trax earn Top Safety Pick from IIHS [w/video]
Thu, Feb 12 2015The Buick Encore has been a massive sales success practically from the moment it debuted, and Buick recently decided to increase production to keep up with demand for the premium compact crossover. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently put one to the test again, and the Encore earned a Top Safety Pick award. It's the first model from the brand to score the nod since 2013, according to the IIHS, and the rating also carries over to the 2015 Chevrolet Trax. The 2015 Encore scored a Good rating in all of the IIHS' evaluations, including the 40-mile-per-hour, small overlap front crash test. That was a big improvement over the previous model the institute tested, which scored a Poor result in the overlap test. In the first test, about 13 inches of the lower door hinge pillar came into the passenger compartment, and the steering wheel airbag moved too far to protect the dummy's head. Improvements for the latest model year showed six inches of intrusion this time, and the airbags caught the dummy's head well. The dummy's sensors also indicated a low risk of injury. The two CUVs missed out on the full Top Safety Pick+ because the IIHS scored the Encore as only having a basic front crash prevention system, and there was no such equipment for the Trax. To earn the highest mark, models need at least an advanced rating by the institute for this technology. Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax earn 2015 TOP SAFETY PICK award ARLINGTON, Va. - A small SUV is the first vehicle from the Buick brand to qualify for a TOP SAFETY PICK award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety since 2013. The Buick Encore's newly introduced, lower-priced twin, the Chevrolet Trax, also qualifies for the honor. The Encore's award follows improvements to the SUV's structure for better small overlap front protection. The 2015 model earns a good rating in the small overlap test. In contrast, the 2013-14 Encore rated poor in the test. The driver's space was seriously compromised with intrusion measuring as much as 13 inches at the lower door hinge pillar. The dummy's head barely contacted the front airbag before sliding off the left side, as the steering column moved to the right. The side curtain airbag deployed too late and didn't have sufficient forward coverage to protect the head. In the latest test, the driver space was maintained reasonably well, with maximum intrusion of 6 inches at the door hinge pillar and instrument panel. The dummy's movement was well-controlled.
