Probably gonna get a lot of hate for this but.....I no longer own my truck. After owning it for 2 years and one week exactly and 60K miles I traded her in on a 2016 Honda Accord. I decided to do this for a few reasons.

1. Honda has a lifetime warranty at the dealer near me

2. Way better interest rate

3. Cheaper on gas. So far 41.2 mpg is the highest I've gotten

4. Lower monthly payments since I had equity in my truck

5. Cheaper insurance

6. Has a lot more options than my truck did so thats just a plus

I did all this with me going into medical school soon and doing a bit of driving I figured it was a better decision since I didn't really use the truck as a truck most of the time. Plus the extra money is nice to have and be able to do things with my brothers who I am raising.

No hate sounds like a positive thing to me. Nothing wrong with a accord or the decision you made.

Nope no codes, and no resistors needed for the license plate. Any 194 LED should pop right in.

Looks great!

I replaced the bed decals with the Custom Sport/Midnight Edition Z71 door emblems. From a distance it looks factory until the sun hits it or look at it a little close.

any pics of these emblems? where to buy them??

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
