Thank you, @Z45! NOTE - No all repair shop/Dealers reports to Carfax That is my main concern. The CARFAX looks way too clean for a 6 year old anything with 164,245 miles. Even something known for reliability (like many Toyotas) typically has a lot more replaced, like a Nav screen, interior trim, shock/strut, or brake pads. And surely the last set of tires (installed at ~58k miles) would be bald unless those were all highway miles. I'm tempted to pay a local dealer to look up the VIN, but am not sure if that will be worthwhile. Last time I did this, it was 100% useless, and I felt scammed - they noted the bumper was replaced years ago and that's it. A 5-year old could spot the accident damage, even though nothing was on the CARFAX. After giving the dealer a call, the truck may have a hard shift, but they have to verify with their mechanic if that's even a concern. And I've test driven about a dozen of these now, many near Chicago, and half the trucks shift hard/odd at all throttle positions. The ones with aftermarket lifts/larger tires shift terrible, and 3 stock trucks shifted so violently I thought the transmission valve body was going out. At this point I'm conflicted, as I need a vehicle, and am coming up short locally. Northern trucks in this price range tend to have either multiple owners, a lot of mods (lifts/oversized tires without re-gearing), and are generally in rougher shape. If this truck showed up in your neighborhood for $27k and you had to purchase it sight-unseen, with the possibility of needing a 10L80 rebuild, torque converter, or rear end - would you do it? I'm convinced most of the 10L80 trucks I test drove are broken, they can't all shift so bad, with massive flares/slipping/lurching and mis-matched downshifts like a teen driver learning stick. -

From the spy shots, the front end does look like it's borrowing some styling cues from the Canyon. I'm more interested in the powertrain news than the screens though. If the 3.0 diesel survives into the next generation, that alone will keep a lot of current owners interested. -

What is this tuner you mentioned that can shut the system off? -

I had it tested at the hardware store, and it showed no chip. He went out to started the truck today and it wouldnt fire. He waited an hour then tried again, and it started 3 times. In a row. My 2000 cavalier did not have a chip key, but still had a security system. 🤷♀️ -

If it didn't have a chip in it it wouldn't have a security system. Do the relearn or get someone with a tuner to shut the system off
