I test drove a 2013 but just couldn't do it so I'm still driving my 95WT Chevy with 97k.

When I burned out 5 years ago I bought a 2000 Powerstroke Super Duty with 100K miles for $12K. It now has 180K miles on it. I figure it's good for another 100K miles, then I'll look for another 100K mile used truck.

Buy a good solid used truck and don't worry about the odometer until it approaches 300K.

Poor ducks, looks like they got snowed on....

Traded my 2005 Silverado with 32,000 miles for a new 2013 Silverado last July.I was about to put $3,000 in body work(rust) and decided to trade instead.I had purchased/ordered the 2005 and really liked it but the salt they use on the roads up here in the North-East did a number on it.The 2013 with a 5.3 ,six speed auto and cylinder deactivation gets exactly the same mileage as the 2005 with the 5.3 and four speed auto.

I'm not a fan of those systems at all. My Wife's '11 Hemi V8 Grand Cherokee has something similar, think they call it Multiple Displacement System or something like that. Runs on 4 cylinders when it can. Gets 19 mpg. I'm guessing an older Hemi without that system would get identical mileage.

I knew that I did not need a new truck as my old one 2003 Silverado had only 38,000 miles but I also did not need two vehicles. So I traded my truck and Toyota Vensa in on a new GMC Sierra SLT crew cab.

So far I do like the new truck but I had not shopped for a truck sense 2003 and was shocked at the
1. Prices
2. Options
3. Generally the stuff they put on new trucks.

Nice truck. You have something you can enjoy everyday you drive it!

Congrats!
