Well, It looks like our trucks can only increase in value...

That's hilarious! Check my sig for a quote I borrowed from CPNE.

I'll totally agree with all of that except the honda thing? Maybe more Nissan? And yes, the hood is popped. Lots of people don't "use" trucks anymore. I go to muddy job sites and to NY in the winter, so I've used my 4wd a lot, but the Z71 thing is just a sticker and shocks. I was looking for a plain 4x4 to save money, but the only one I could find with a 5.3 (I was looking for 4-5 year old used trucks) was the Z71. Almost all of the "plain" 4x4's I looked at were 4.8's and I test drove a couple and the engine performance was not comparable to that of the 5.3, yet they get VERY similar fuel mileage I have the tow package and will admit that I've never used it. I have hauled a trailer with it, but I just put it in 3rd till I hit the highway.

I think if GM was to offer a truck that had the 4x4 stance but was a 2wd that it would sell well. Look at toyota and nissan "mid-size" trucks. You hardly ever see a low to the ground 2wd anymore, no one wants them. They are buying the toyota pre-runners and Nissan dessert runners. 2wd with the 4wd height. You save on the 4wd price but have a truck that sits "like a truck." I think GM has started this with a 2wd Z71 Colorado??? and maybe some of the new tahoes???
