Summary

This vehicle is in good condition and drives great. Seats 8 comfortably, with plenty of cargo space remaining. Third row seating is removable for even more cargo space. There is also an adjustable luggage rack if you need storage on top of the vehicle. 

CNG
I purchased this vehicle with an existing aftermarket CNG (compressed natural gas) system already installed. It will hold up to 7 gallons of CNG (using a 3600 psi pump), and drives great on either gasoline or CNG. CNG is currently as low as 90 cents a gallon where I live in Oklahoma, with a growing number of stations available. Check the station locator at cngprices.com for prices and locations near you. CNG is not only inexpensive, but is a clean-burning fuel that is mostly sourced domestically here in the US. It's easy on the environment and on your engine. If you have a home refueling station, it's probably even cheaper to fill it up. The tanks are mounted in the rear, underneath the vehicle where the spare tire goes. For this reason, they don't infringe on cargo space, but the spare tire will need to be carried in the cargo area if desired. We have only taken it on longer trips, and usually leave it in the garage for driving around town. 

Features and Condition
The SLT trim means it has leather, and power everything. It has had several gaskets replaced recently, including the main seal between the engine and transmission, and other routine maintenance has been performed. The CNG system was also recently checked and tuned up. The AC blows cold, the heater blows hot, and the radio and CD player work great. The tires are all relatively new with good tread (one was replaced last month due to road hazard damage) and the rest are less than a year old. The windshield was replaced a few months ago due to a crack. There was a video system that played VHS tapes on a drop down screen, but it doesn't work anymore, although it may be possible to install a DVD system using the existing screen.

There are a few cosmetic issues, displayed in the pictures. There is a dent near the gas tank filler door. It was caused by a person falling on the vehicle, so there is no paint damage. May be able to fix it for cheaper than normal using paintless dent repair (PDR) if desired. It's never bothered me enough to mess with it. The other big one is a hole in the second row leather seat, near the passenger side back door. There are also some minor cosmetic things, such as radio knobs missing.  

Overall, this is a workhorse of a family or adventure vehicle, made surprisingly economical when driven on CNG.

Update

I forgot to mention a few things. It includes the towing package, so it comes with a trailer hitch. The CNG fill nozzle is located behind the rear license plate, which is why you don't see it on the side of the vehicle. And the car comes from a 100% smoke-free environment. Also, I'll just let you know that the reserve is $7500, which is the blue book value before taking into consideration the value of the CNG system, with its potentially increased engine life and decreased fuel costs. Good luck!

Next-gen Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra may use carbon fiber

Thu, Dec 7 2017

It's been generally accepted that the next generation of full-size GM trucks will use some sort of strong, lightweight material for the beds while retaining steel for the cab. While aluminum seems like the most obvious choice, according to Automotive News, the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra will incorporate both aluminum and carbon fiber in their beds. The publication cites sources from within GM, though it seems the introduction of this comparatively exotic material mix is still a few years off. While carbon fiber is both stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum, it takes significantly more time and money to produce, essentially relegating the material to small-volume cars. The main benefit for trucks is the resulting reduction in weight to improve fuel economy without sacrificing the tough, rugged capabilities truck buyers expect. The Ford F-150 made the switch to aluminum for the 2015 model year and it's proved highly successful. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the competition followed suit. Automotive News says that the next-gen trucks will launch with aluminum beds and that it will take a couple of years before we'll see any carbon fiber incorporated into the design. Even then, only look for the composite material on higher-trim models, with a trickle down to lower-spec trucks possible further in the future. In 2011, GM announced it was working with Japan-based Teijin Limited on a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic. There's a good chance that material's introduction will be on trucks.

GM to offer 2 years free maintance on most 2014 models

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

A day after Ford announced it was scaling back the complimentary maintenance program for its Lincoln brand, General Motors has gone in the completely opposite direction, offering most of its 2014 lineup with free maintenance. Since 2011, Cadillac models have all come with a four-year/50,000-mile complimentary maintenance program, but Chevrolet, Buick and GMC vehicles will now come standard with free maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles for the 2014 model year.
The program will give vehicle owners and lessees free oil changes, tire rotations and 27-point inspections following the recommended maintenance schedule laid out in each vehicle's owner's manual. We contacted GM to see which vehicles were eligible for the program, and a spokesperson got back to us with the following comment:
"All 2014 models are eligible, it's just that the included services vary by model, e.g., Spark EV would not need oil changes, Corvettes don't recommend tire rotations."

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.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.
