I really want this truck, but really can't justify $25k for it. If it was 15-20k, then maybe.

Still so torn between Ford and Chevy. Brain says Ford and heart says Chevy.

That said I have expanded my search beyond the GMT800 into the GMT900 (basically 08-13, the 07 isn't bad but the 14 has a lot of issues). Although I don't like the interior as much, it seems the engine and transmission is better and overall reliability is a lot better than the 800 series or newer series as well.

Really don't want to but debating on taking on a car payment. How bad are interest rates right now?

Bummer. With the gym thing starting soon I'm a bit more nervous about taking a big chunk out of my savings. Lol. But also hate hate hate car payments with high interest.

Possibly. If it were a Ford 6.7 it would probably be 40.

DEF truck though :(
