There are only two drivers in our house yet we have four vehicles my 01 Hoe lowered and built everything wife's 02 lifted fully re done suspension stock 2008 LTZ Tahoe. And a 2000 mercury Grand a Marquess. All tannish in color. Lol. Wife and I are looking at a new Yuk XL. And a new Silverado or Sierra we will keep the two NBS hoes tho. Why trade in and lose our ass on them they are easy to work on parts are pretty cheap and they both look great. We have an off road wheeling rig then and a street Beast !!!
Oh and the the Merc we paid 1700 for almost 8 years ago. No issues. It's just a back up vehicle. And or daily driver for me. Keeps the miles and wear and tear off the Beast!
Point I'm getting to is why not just fix yours up and rock it till the wheels fall off. You can get a junk yard engine for $350 -500 then do a freshen up on it for roughly $1200. And the tranny is cheaper!
Replace front suspension pitman and idler arm Timkin hubs Moog arms and ball joints inner and outer tie rod end links , new carpet $200 , headliner $100 , leather ebay $400-600 or new seats from sandrailperformance on here!
In other words it is cheaper to keep her.
I have a large family and need more room plus we own a house and property in the country so I really need a pickup again and we need either a Suburban or Yukon XL for the space
