So, I have been thinking about selling my truck for a while. I have a 2003 Chevy Silverado Z71 (Extended cab). I bought it in December 04 and it had 95K miles on it. Hour meter showed high speed (highway) miles. Over the last 12 years, I have put another 110K miles on it but I really only drive it on the weekends or if I need to haul or tow something. The ONLY reason I am considering selling is that my kids, 4 and 6, don't have much room in the extended cab and I want to get a crew cab. I am not looking for a brand new truck.
I drive an '07 Camry to work every day. The Camry has 180K on her and I am thinking of doing a 2 for 1 swap. Sell the truck..... then trade the car in on something else and pay cash for it. I don't want or need new but I will likely make this my DD for a few years. I will still have the 40 as a third vehicle if needed. I have driven the car for almost 5 years and I don't want to drive a sedan any longer.
With that said, I was thinking about another Silverado in a Crew cab, 4wd. Although I don't use my truck bed every day, I use it at least every two weeks. I am not sure I want to go full on truck-less... But... I wandered over to the 100 section on MUD and I REALLY like the 100 series LC. I am thinking I could get one of those as my DD and replace the Camry and possibly replace the truck, even if for only short period of time.
So... any of you guys drive a 100 series daily? Regrets? Love it? Also, in my search for vehicles for sale, I swear, the LX470 seem to be more reasonably priced (cheaper) than the LC.
I have three options:
1) buy one in the 99-02 range with almost the same money I can get from just the Camry (I may have to put a little with it)
2) buy a 06-07 in the $15-19K range which would likely leave no room for another truck, at least until I saved a while for it.
3) buy a crew cab truck and forget about another cruiser in the driveway....
I would post this in the main pages but thought I would see what you guys had to say locally first. None of these decisions need to be quick, I am just in the early planning stages. Oh, I am not dropping $50K+ on a 200 series before you make that suggestion.
