Rig shopping.....

[trippled]

Yea kinda figured thatd be the case.

You could potentially find a first gen wk2 Laredo with your budget.
3.6 seem to last forever so mileage shouldn't be a big deal.

 

[in4aride]

Not really. Few and far between. Usually high mileage and more than I wish to contend with.

 

[Kittrell]

Did I miss your max mileage requirement?

 

[in4aride]

I'm not looking at anything over 140. At all. What so ever.
Ideally under 120. Best case under 100

How about a Chevy Trailblazer with the 5.3 in it? Or a Durango?

 

[in4aride]

No dice on the Durango. Just bad luck there.
I considered the TB but really unless it's a TBSS they are known to be junk and not very good in snow, especially compared to the alternatives.

I'm. It looking for other options. These are the two I'm pretty well set on. Thanks.

 

[in4aride]

Found two limited commanders in going to look at this week. Both hemi. Figured they are both ****ing red too.

 

[YELLAHEEP]

Our TBSS was a beast in the snow with Blizzaks mounted. Dunno why a V8 TB would be much different.

I'd definitely own one again.

 

[in4aride]

I've never liked a tb or exploder in snow. At alll

Another vote for a 4Runner.

My wife and I had an '08 trailblazer ( non SS ) and it was a damn good vehicle. We put about 70K miles on it, and had zero issues other than having to replace the 4wheel drive switch. Thing kicked ass in the snow with some Falken tires.

Wasn't a powerhouse by any means, but we got 18-20mpg with it.

 

[in4aride]

I haven't been in a single one I liked. I thought there were far inferior to the original blazer.

That's okay, have you actually priced one?

:roflmao:

 

[in4aride]

No reason to. Guessing like 3k on average.

 

[Kittrell]

An SS, around 15+

 

[in4aride]

Oh I meant the non ss. TBSS are definitely money but cool rides.

 

[in4aride]

Well now the fight with insurance over the value of the burb.
Book is right at 9k.
Average list price is 13k+
They offered 8.
This will be fun.

My favorite thing to tell these jamokes is "If you found one in the same condition as mine for your offer tell me where because I want to to buy it."

 

[in4aride]

Yeah they sent me a copy of the comp vehicles. All of them are 1500 suburbans. :roflmao:
