picked up my poor old truck long ago when my Nissan King Cab was rusting away and had and infant and toddler and needed room and a bit more safety for them.
At that time crew cabs were just ramping up in popularity and with discounts, the Chevy Silverado I nabbed was only ~$2K more than 2-3 yr used.
Anyhow, got 150K miles on it now, had minor issues, worst of which was a transfer case motor dying. oddly this truck seems to kill off 3 O2 sensors, last one I decided I'd do it myself for the $20 cost.
Otherwise (knock on wood) had no issue and it hauls all the crap needed for long vacation for 5 with pretty decent comfort.
Personally I like sitting up higher than a sedan and seating wise pretty nice with heated seats and such. Gonna do some camping with it this year and while the topper doesn't quite match (blue verses silver) a few color matched bombs will do fine given the topper has pillars and was being dumped for $75 bucks at a dealer.It appears few folks want em and the truck it came off of wasn't selling simply due to the topper.
