Can't find this truck to save my life

[805Driver]

I've been in the market for a 2008-2013 GMC Sierra with the 6.2 4x4 crew cab for months now. I'm not sure if it's because I live in California, but I can't find one in black or white to save my life. How rare are these trucks? I was looking at the Denali, but not a big fan of awd. I might just have to bite the bullet and buy a 2014 slt with the 5.3. Can anyone help me find what I'm looking for?

Don't give up hope. I almost caved and bought something I didn't want, a few days later what I had been searching for came available.

 

How far are you willing to travel?

 

Here's one that's about 250 miles from you.

 

No clue what you're looking for exactly, but they're out there.

Willing to drive up to 500mi if need be and that truck would be perfect, but I I'm looking for something with less miles.

Sorry:/ I would only want a black or white truck.

[KARNUT]

Hmm, color is the last thing I look at when looking for a deal. Silver and gold colors are the easiest to keep looking clean, white and black the hardest. I have a black SUV that has prompted me to wash it 3 times a wk adverage at a car wash that I pay buy the month. My wife's gold car doesn't look dirty it gets cleaned once a month. The only way I'd buy black or white is if I saved a ton of money, and I did.

They are hard to find for sale. I would consider selling mine if I could make enough to buy a new Duramax :-)

It's been a great truck and in my opinion ( I've owned several 5.3's) there isn't any other gas truck engine worth having.

I spent two months searching Autotrader up to 500 miles from my house for a non-Denali 6.2 truck, either Silverado or Sierra. I didn't want a 5.3 AFM engine. Finally gave up when I found a rare red Canadian Denali. For me, it wasn't that big of a deal, because I also have my 2500 Suburban, and that's my go-to snow vehicle anyways.

Just found a 2016 double cab with the 6.2 L and got all excited until I found out it only had 3.08 gears..damn. I was ready to spend the $36,000 they were asking.. It was a LTZ I believe. Closest one I've found about 300 miles away.

I know the AWD is a bit of a downer, but the Denali is a damn nice truck. I have the 3.42 gears, and this thing is scary-fast for a truck. I'm almost glad I do have AWD, because that's just too much power for a lightly-loaded rear axle. It's nice knowing I can just floor it and not have to worry about feathering the gas pedal, and all the power gets put down to the road. And I can still make it fishtail pretty easily in rain or snow.

 

Gratuitous pic (just happened to catch a crew cab sierra in the background)

Looks nice! One problem with me driving a Denali to potential clients houses and bidding jobs is that people will think I must be charging too much lol. It has happened before when I bought my 2007 Sierra. It was very sharp looking, nice chrome aftermarket wheels, etc. Looked at a kitchen remodel for a guy who walked me out and we stood chatting by my new truck. He commented that it was a awfully nice truck for a carpenter to be driving. In reality it just looked that way as it was only a SLE lol.

i feel ur pain...been looking for a similar truck, the 6.2 is a hard one to find used. but worth the wait in my opinion. those engines are bulletproof

[michigan2500hd]

I bought one of the two 2015 6.2's here by me in Michigan. There's a really nice white one still there.
