I am seriously thinking about taking over my fathers Sierra truck.I currently own an 05 Focus zx3 SES with 35k miles but while owing nearly double its value and for 4 1/2 more years, im starting to consider this truck.
The truck is a 2003 GMC Sierra 2500 HD ext cab 6.0L.It has 85k Miles on it and as far as I know the Flow master is the only mod.
I know the difference in gas mileage will probably be staggering.But Ive only put 13k miles on my Focus in a 1 1/2 years so Im no a huge driver.
The truck Is already worth more than my car,will probably have a much better resale value and will be paid off in 2 years.
So the question I ask is, is it reliable enough to make the trade giving that my Focus has 4 years left of warranty and almost 2/3 less miles?
Are Sierras with this size engine expensive to fix? Is the gas mileage going to be extremely poor?
Ive never owned a truck,a V8 or one this big.
What do you think?
