Do you plan on keeping your crew? I think it will be one more year for me. GM plans on redesigning the sierra and silverado

At this point, I'm keeping mine til the wheels fall off. Then I'll put 'em back on and drive it some more. Although with gas prices going up the way they have been, I have the most expensive "Farm Use" truck in the area. I never drive it anymore except to haul the trash to the dump on Saturday. Shame.

Well I traded mine in already.....

Don't think I would have done it if it weren't for the heavy rebates. After driving the AV for a while, I'm glad I got it over a 1500 Ext. cause it rides much better. They need to come out with a true pickup with a link or IFS style system in the rear instead of the leaf springs.

I am interested in the new engines that GM will be putting out in the next few years. The 4/8 engine is interesting(run on 4 when low torque is needed and gets 10-15& better MPG) and the Electric boost that's now available to Fleet Buyers. That's cool as the side bonus of an onboard generator is sweet. I think it was only a 5% gain but for only 2500buck option, very cool. I think for 05 all 5.3L engines will be flex fuel standard so you guys in the lucky states can get some cheaper fuel(I hear they have a promotion now for e85 gas for only 85 cents/gal). No e85 here in NY.

We just got Ethynal which just replaced NTBE.

As for other vehicles, the G6 Convertable would be interesting and the Envoy XUV is cool too. Just a little strange styling(not a big fan of GMC styling). That Caddy CTS-V is sweet but at that price get a Vette.

Cheers,
Con

Well I don't drive a crew, but I will be keeping the truck and the wifes car for many years. After the payments are done, we would like to be free of them for a while.

does anyone know of any links to images of what the 2006 silverado or Sierra will look like? I'm debating on waiting until they arrive (mid to late summer 2005) or take advantage of the huge rebates that GM will have on the 2005 fullsize at that time..Those rebates + GMS + my crew as a trade in will significantly lower my monthly payments

Problem is, I think they will have to order the truck i would like and I don't know when the cut-off date is to order a 2005

GM just upped the rebate wars with up to 5,000 rebate for current GM owners! So I don't see rebates disappearing anytime soon. But since the fullsize has been around for a while, it might be better to wait and see what comes around in a few years. What I would wait for is the DOD and the hybrid boost systems and I hear styling will change again(Seen some spy pics of the next AV and it's much cleaner styling). We will see.

I get GMS too...only problem is I can't use my GM Card earnings with it. I'm debating whether or not to use the GMS next time I buy something.
