Ive driven a 2003 Chev Siverado 1500HD Crew cab 4WD with 6.0 liter engine for the last 6 years. This truck was with me every step of the way while I built my businesses. This thing has hauled way bigger loads than it ever should have, and I have driven it all over hell. Its got 185,000 miles on it now. Still looks and runs great. Last November I had the opportunity to buy a 2007 Silverado straight half ton crew cab with a 4.6 liter V8 for $10,000. It books at $14,000 so I jumped on it as I don't pull the loads I used too. I kept the 2003 around to plow snow with this winter thinking I would sell it in the spring and then move the plow to the 2007 half ton. Now I am just dreading selling the 2003. This truck has done everything I have ever asked it to do without hesitation, I feel that selling it is letting it down. The biggest thing that makes me want to sell it is the gas mileage. It has never done better than 12, usually gets about 11 MPG. the 2007 half ton gets 16. That equates to 2 tanks per month saved, or about $150/mo. I had the 2003 into the shop and just hauled it home on the trailer behind the 2007 half ton and couldn't believe the way the 2007 handled the load! Acceleration was a bit slower but it really handled the load well. I can justify selling the 2003 due to the above mentioned facts, but I am just too attached to put it for sale. I know I would cry like a baby as it drove away. I've been thinking about this situation since I bought the newer truck and still don't know what I'm gonna do. I never in my widest dreams thought I would ever get attached to something like this.
