This has been my personal truck that I drive to my daily job and side jobs on weekends that I have owned since January 2005. I bought this truck as I intended on going into business for myself as a marine diesel mechanic and added the Omaha tool bed that I bought new in 2006  and my job changed a little. I still drive the truck daily and back and forth to South Carolina a few times a year for work. I really do not want to get rid of this truck because it is paid for and I have had it for so long and know the history of it but I need a crew cab due to kids and have ordered a new truck. I tell you all this stuff because I want you to know what you are buying. The truck runs beautiful no smoke , no leaks  and drives perfect just did a round trip to north Georgia 12 hours each way and would not hesitate to do it again. It has michellin LTX tires on it with good life with no plugs or patches in them, based on my first set they probably have 30,000 left in them. It has eagle 086 aluminum wheels that have clear cote imperfections and chrome lugnuts have surface rust on the chrome. Has a factory trailer hitch with trailer brakes and a new brake controller, I rented a trailer that had brakes and I had to buy a controller to rent the trailer, towed 10,000pounds to SC and got 15mpg doing 70 on the interstate. The engine had the injectors updated around 170,000 miles they were not bad but dealer diagnosed problem incorrectly and did them under the 200,000 mile injector warranty, high pressure fuel pump was bad so I replaced that at the same time. Water pump was replaced at 205,000 miles, rear u-joints have been replaced, all shocks were recently replaced and bumpstops replaced in front, drivers seat was reupholstered at local shop but I think the springs are broken causing the cushion to have sag in it. I rolled the truck over in a accident in 2005 and the insurance company would not total it instead they put a cab and bed on it, you really cannot tell but cab has a gold firewall  the only thing that I could notice after repair. I had a rear end accident with it a few years ago and got a grapefruit size dent  in the bumper so I bought a new one to replace it. I ordered the tool bed the way I wanted it with flip top boxes and the forward compartment goes the width of the bed, inside dimensions are 72"x48" I did this to keep large parts dry, I had diamond plate that lined the bed for protection but removed because a battery leaked in the back and ate a hole in the aluminum and caused rust underneath you can see in the pictures you could easily cut this out and weld a new piece of steel in or put a piece of plywood over it. I get 15mpg in the city and 20mpg on the highway if I keep it under 70mph. Rear axle seals have been recently replaced and I just had a solenoid go bad in the transmission so it got new fluid and filters replaced at the chevy dealer. I hope this detail of the repairs do not derail you but any truck with 245,000 miles is going to have repairs and I just want to be honest about what has been done, I am not a car dealer nor do I want to be one I really hate selling stuff because I want people to know what they are getting. If you have questions or want more pictures let me know send a message. Always have used shell rotella 15-40 oil , ac compressor is less than a year old and I put a new condenser in at the same time. Evaporator was changed after the injector repair as it got damaged during the process, heater works is not bypassed and does not leak, cruise control works, tow haul mode works it has manual windows, four wheel drive works and the rear end has the factory locker in it. Truck has a aftermarket JVC radio with Sirius satellite radio with a fresh 1 year subscription that I will leave in it. Steering wheel has chunk of foam missing so I put a cover on it. The bed came with only 2 holes cut on each side so I did not put in the back-up lights I wil include them with the sale along with all  paperwork , spare parts and manuals I can find for it. It also takes fuel slow due to placement of fuel fill on the utility bed you just cant go wide open with the nozzle or it will spit back at you. take your time and fill slow and is fine, probably could be fixed easy but I got used to it. Antilock brake module is bad I had it repaired and it did not last you do not need it to drive the truck only needed fo abs to work. Air bag light is on and has been on since accident do not know if it needs to be reset or replaced. That's pretty much the entire history of the truck, repairs and minor issues, please do not let my honesty deter you away from this truck as it runs and drives perfect and all you need to do is put your tools in it and go to work

This week, the main topic of discussion is the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show. Of course, they've gotta talk about the Ford Mustang Mach-E — and its questionable naming scheme. They also run down some other L.A. show highlights including the Toyota RAV4 Prime, Kia Seltos, Lexus LC 500 Convertible and Audi RS Q8. Then they talk about the cars they've been driving: the 2020 Chevy Silverado with the Duramax diesel engine and the 2020 Subaru Legacy Touring XT.

2019 Chicago Auto Show Truck Roundup: Toyota, Ford, Chevy and Ram bring it

Thu, Feb 7 2019

The 2019 Chicago Auto Show features an array of heavy-duty trucks, smaller trucks, other kinds of trucks, and well, more trucks. That means new versions of the 2020 Chevy Silverado Heavy Duty and 2020 Ford F-150 Super Duty, a refreshed 2020 Toyota Tacoma and a trick tailgate on the 2019 Ram 1500. Sound a little crazy? Morgan Stanley research says 68 percent of passenger vehicles sold in the United States last year were classified as light trucks. So actually, bring on the trucks! Here's some impressions on the Chicago reveals, plus our take on the 2020 Subaru Legacy sedan. — Toyota updated the 2020 Tacoma with some light but useful enhancements. An improved infotainment has new audio features and larger screens. The grilles and wheels are different, but nothing drastic. Toyota still offers nice differentiation across the Tacoma lineup, and the design tweaks are subtle but thoughtful. Toyota tends to stretch out the Tacoma's generations, so it's wise to keep modifying and iterating to keep pace in this competitive segment. — Staying with Toyota, the Land Cruiser Heritage Edition is a legit special model that fans of this historic nameplate will appreciate. An anchor of the Toyota line in the United States since 1958, the Land Cruiser's roots date to Toyota's 1951 BJ Series military vehicle. Two colors, Midnight Black and Blizzard Pearl, are exclusive to this model and look slick against the blacked-trimmed grille and lightly bronzed wheels. Inside, bronze stitching is used on the steering wheel, seats, center console and other parts. The best part? Land Cruiser spelled out in script on the rear pillar. It's a limited model (1,200 units) and pricing isn't out yet, but that badge is probably why you buy this SUV. — The 2020 Chevy Silverado HD gets imposing looks that differentiate it from the light-duty range, an eye-popping max towing capability of 35,500 pounds and some updated powertrain elements. A new gas-fed V8 that serves as the entry point is one of the highlights, and the 6.6-liter mill makes 401 hp and 464 lb-ft, up significantly over the old 6.0-liter. There's also a new Allison 10-speed transmission teaming with the Duramax diesel to achieve that lofty max towing figure. With an updated trailering system and a larger cabin, the Silverado HD range is comprehensively remade to fight Ram and Ford. — The 2020 Ford Super Duty is also redone, and like the Chevy line, it gets a new gas V8 checking in at 7.3 liters.
