Regular readers of this column will recall a time in the not-too-distant past when I lamented the fact that I’ve never owned a pickup truck. I spoke lovingly of their utility and ubiquity, calling them both “drivable cargo shorts” and “the ultimate man purse,” but I’ve never been able to call one mine.

Well, turns out that was fake …

Timely post. My TSX is getting detailed right now so that I can take better pictures before putting it on Craigslist and Facebook.

At the age of 51, this year I too acquired my first pickup.

Nice truck. Do you have any plans for performance modifications?

Little typo.  Good choice on the truck!  I have a 2002 Silverado that gets driven exclusively for truck things and it is indispensable!

Heads up, your Tahoe uses a narrower bumper than the pickups.

thanks, i knew they were different, but was hoping the seller might have one.  LMC has them too, but shipping is not cheap

Welcome to the club smiley.

My Sierra Denali has over 330K and still going strong.

The only thing that I would do differently if I was to get another would be to get 4 doors.  I have the rear doors that you have ot open the front door first to open and that gets old in a hurry.  Other than that parts are cheap and just basic care and feeding keep these things on the road for a very long time.

Welcome to the 99 and up GM LS Truck club. They run forever and pull/tow much better than you'd expect. I'm nearing 300K.

This will be a nice match of blue to the Vette

These guys can help a lot !!  Replaced window seals, headliner, the stuff that gets beat up by the sin in the south.  Updated my stalk mirrors for the newer type.  This winter it will be cab corners.
