I couldn't buy Boom's, so I picked this up a couple weeks ago. 2010 with 22,000 miles, one owner. Got a good deal cause I wasn't gonna buy unless I did.

I am getting almost 23 miles per gallon on the highway and 16 around town. I am happy.

Bob, how many knees do you get per mile???

Wow your's is faster and much nicer looking for sure! Right now I doubt I could do MPG and hopefully in a few months when I can....... it will be w/o the cane!

I can sleep with mine next to the bed in the house and still feel good.......if you did that ......your wife would want to know why you are in the garage!

Tilliam, I would not have a problem if it was, but no, it was a local doctor.

And yep, 5.3 Flex Fuel 4/8 cyl.

I really like the air conditioned seats!

Ahha, the dignified mans' "kid-hauler"! :D Not too sure if you have kids or not, but this will get them to soccer nicely!

I just picked up an '11 5.3l Silverado...seem to be getting around 17mpg in the first tank I went through with that new Active Fuel Management. I don't drive slow either though. I wonder if they will ever make cloth heated and cooled seats..and all around so the kids don't freeze to death in -10 in the back seat while mom and dad are enjoying the luxuries...just a thought for these auto manufacturers.


Nice lookin whip aspeck and congratulations!

Towed the boat for the first time today ... Smaller engine, felt boat pull a little more, but tranny geared better and pulled smoother with less effort from a drivetrain perspective. Gotta get used to the mirrors and the back-up camera. But all good.

Naw, the driver's side heated seat quite working in my last Yukon about year 8, never got around to fixing it. It was nice while it lasted ...
