It was a one owner truck before me, owned by a man who used it to tow his camper. There are fifth wheel rails in the bed from this, but it was never used for work towing or abused. I have only used it occasionally to tow a horse trailer and used it as my daily driver. The truck is excellent condition. It has never been plowed with, and the front end is nice and tight. There is no rust on the body, nor are there any major dents, dings or scratches. (A few here and there you would find on any ten year old vehicle, but nothing major.) This truck has every option except the sunroof and DVD. It is 4x4, crew cab short bed. It's an SLT, so it has power everything, leather, Bose sound, heated seats, and automatic A/C. The truck has just under 82,000 miles, which is very low for a Duramax of this age. This will go up some as it is my daily driver. I've kept it well maintained during the time I had it, and added quite a few modifications: It has: - LBZ Turbo mouthpiece - Brand new Fox Racing Shocks on all 4 corners - Magnaflow Downpipe - 5 Inch MBRP straight pipe to a 6 inch polished tip - Edge CTS 4 inch touchscreen in a dash pod. (ONLY used for gauges. This truck has NEVER been tuned or programmed) - Prodigy brake controller - Denali Projector Headlights - AVS bug visor I've also done a few maintenance items, including flushing the power steering / hydroboost system out with Amsoil synthetic. I also have 5 gallons of Amsoil Trans-Synd and a new Allison filter to go with the truck, which is almost $300 by itself. Minor Issues: There is a little bit of surface rust on the frame here and there. No rust on the cab or bed; Please see the videos for more info. The rear passenger door reflector is missing, and there is some peeling paint underneath the headlight switch. Also, when the truck is cold, there is sometimes an odd groaning noise from the front end. I'm not sure why this happens, but it goes away once the truck is warm and doesn't always happen when it's cold. This is bar none one of the nicest LLY trucks out there, ESPECIALLY in the northeast. Please let me know if you'd like to see the truck before bidding and we can set something up. Thanks! |

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists
Sat, Oct 24 2015Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
5 reasons why GM is cutting jobs, closing plants in a healthy economy
Tue, Nov 27 2018DETROIT — Even though unemployment is low, the economy is growing and U.S. auto sales are near historic highs, General Motors is cutting thousands of jobs in a major restructuring aimed at generating cash to spend on innovation. It's the new reality for automakers that are faced with the present cost of designing gas-powered cars and trucks that appeal to buyers now while at the same time preparing for a future world of electric and autonomous vehicles. GM announced Monday that it will cut as many as 14,000 workers in North America and put five plants up for possible closure as it abandons many of its car models and restructures to focus more on autonomous and electric vehicles. The reductions could amount to as much as 8 percent of GM's global workforce of 180,000 employees. The cuts mark GM's first major downsizing since shedding thousands of jobs in the Great Recession. The company also said it will stop operating two additional factories outside North America by the end of next year. The move to make GM get leaner before the next downturn likely will be followed by Ford Motor Co., which also has struggled to keep one foot in the present and another in an ambiguous future of new mobility. Ford has been slower to react, but says it will lay off an unspecified number of white-collar workers as it exits much of the car market in favor of trucks and SUVs, some of them powered by batteries. Here's a rundown of the reasons behind the cuts: Coding, not combustion CEO Mary Barra said as cars and trucks become more complex, GM will need more computer coders but fewer engineers who work on internal combustion engines. "The vehicle has become much more software-oriented" with millions of lines of code, she said. "We still need many technical resources in the company." Shedding sedans The restructuring also reflects changing North American auto markets as manufacturers continue to shift away from cars toward SUVs and trucks. In October, almost 65 percent of new vehicles sold in the U.S. were trucks or SUVs. That figure was about 50 percent cars just five years ago. GM is shedding cars largely because it doesn't make money on them, Citi analyst Itay Michaeli wrote in a note to investors. "We estimate sedans operate at a significant loss, hence the need for classic restructuring," he wrote. The reduction includes about 8,000 white-collar employees, or 15 percent of GM's North American white-collar workforce. Some will take buyouts while others will be laid off.
