Just the initial cost plus a few hundred in first year ownership, getting it right maintenance items. The downside of this truck is the 16mpg - the huge upside is I like it just the way it is, and it feels like it will drive for many years without needing anything beyond oil changes and gas.
How much I have put in motorcycles over the years is another question, and a sore subject.

Well Im trying to avoid spending any money on my Tahoe since I have my Silverado SS and a 69 Chevy C/20 to restore.

I have only spent around $400 on Mods, but I have spent a lot more than I wanted to on Maintenance items like a new water pump, power steering pump, and Cats.

Planning on a leveling kit and some beefy tires before next hunting season. And I have been thinking about a tune as well. Hopefully that will be it.
