I just bought a new Chevy silvardo, 2x4, 5.7l, extended cab short bed pickup (2004).

It has decent options (tow package, 7600lbs, Trac control, Limited Slip, CD, power seat, and such). It cost about $23,000 with GM rebates. It drives well, rides well and gets about 14/19.

I like driving trucks everyday. I like being able to see over the traffic. I like having my bumper up around everyone elses winshield. I think it helps me get respect from all the idiots in little cars zipping in and out of traffic!
