I did own a 03 1500 sierra 5.3 4x4 in my early 20's, fantastic truck but it started to rot out where the a-arm connects to the frame. Bought it secondhand with 33k miles and only had 89k miles on her (upstate NY) when I had to ditch it because my first kid was on the way. As of now, I own a 2019 f150 with the dreaded 10r80 trans, 5.0 with 46k miles, purchased in 2022 with 11k miles. I can't stand this transmission anymore and the only solution is a tune but I feel like it's too late and the 10r80 will crap out within a year. Anywho, I'm looking at this <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicle/743137011?allListingType=all-cars&city=Altamont&driveGroup=AWD4WD&endYear=2007&makeCode=CHEV&maxPrice=20000&mileage=150000&modelCode=CHEVC25&searchRadius=0&startYear=2002&state=NY&zip=12009&clickType=listing" target="_blank">https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicle/743137011?allListingType=all-cars&city=Altamont&driveGroup=AWD4WD&endYear=2007&makeCode=CHEV&maxPrice=20000&mileage=150000&modelCode=CHEVC25&searchRadius=0&startYear=2002&state=NY&zip=12009&clickType=listing</a>Can't stand the new trucks anymore, had a 2015 Silverado 5.3 and the trans started slipping at 80k. So I got the Ferd because the new Chevy's look like absolute dog shit. I know this truck is priced pretty high but I know they will last for over 300k with regular maintenance. I need it for commuting and my side hustle which is plumbing and HVAC. Am I absolutely fucking bat shit crazy to pay that much for a California truck not including shipping to NY and sight unseen? Yes I have a private inspector going to look at the truck. Yes I am capable of working on/diagnosing an older truck</blockquote>
