Good looking truck! Good miles for a fleet truck, too.

The 5-cyl? Power of a 4-cyl, thirst of the 6-cyl! It actually is pretty cool. I have always wanted a truck of that size. I may get the GMC one when it comes out if it is any good.

230+ HP out of a 3.5 Liter isn't that bad, especially in something designed in the mid 2000's.

If you put an exhaust on those they kinda sound like a Lambo.

Just sayin....

It really has 230HP? Wow, I had only heard that saying. I don't know the facts. I know...I'm a dumbass.

Get a Back Rack too

Kinja'd!!!

makes mounting up the box a bunch easier, gives you somewhere for extra lights (always a good thing), and, on the off chance you ever roll it, it adds some extra protection from the rood side

Yeah, the 3.7 was like 247 I think. Plus they sound insane with the right exhaust...or lack there of.

They go for low teens all day. Work trucks get used and abused for ~50k miles and then sold for ~$12k. Unless it's one of the bigger trucks, like an F150 or Silverado.

Best part of the work truck: steelies.

Nice truck! I want one too, but my price range is somewhere between free and basketcase.

And helps protect the windows a bit if anything slides in the bed. Had to replace one too many windows like that

$8k. It was used as a security truck, so basically only used to drive around parking lots and drink coffee. It shows, as it's pretty much flawless mechanically.

Yeah, it's got the 3.7 5-cyl. I was actually struggling to not break the rear loose on every light. The tires didn't help much with that hahaha

The old ones (2004-06) suffered from bad head gaskets, but were fixed for 08, so I should be in the clear. Sounds pretty awesome even with the stock exhaust.

2wd, but unfortunately automatic.

I do want to get a light bar, and a toolbox. But for now it'll just stay stock. Gotta save up for the mods I want haha

Definitely a box, and as Chase said, a Back Rack as well.

But, what this thing really needs is a 5.3L LH8 V8 under the hood, and I've found the perfect candidate .

It's in a wrecked 2008 H3 Alpha with 21,344 miles on it. Selling for $2,500.
