    Not to be a dick, but thinking you'll never loose your job is a good way to get yourself into some trouble. At this day and age, there is really no such thing as a 100% secure job. Personally I would put as much cash down on a new truck as possible, and pay the rest off as fast as possible if you end up going that route.

    Well im right with you man, im 20 and bought a new truck because this. Im young still live at home, no wife, kids, and i can afford to do mods now that i might not beable to once i get a family. If it was me and knowing the traction problems these 6.2s have i would go with a ECSB 4x4, and unlike what another guy said, a 2wd can go nowhere near the places a 4x4 can. I know from personal experience with identical trucks but one 4x and the other 2x.
    Trade your truck in on a new one also. You dont want to pickup where someone else left off.

    why not wait untill you can pay for a new truck in full? you allready have a ccsb so why go into debt for a truck you basically already own just newer?

    I dont see a point in modding an older vehicle.. i never have.. i have always tossed all my eggs in one basket which is a bad and good thing... i want a z71 4wd and a new body style truck which is why i want to buy a 2009-2010 z71 4x4. i like going fast so i want the 6.2 6l80e combo to mod on.. i want an extended cab but my gf likes the crew cab its as fast a i feel like going in the truck i want to hang on to for a long time idk man no one in my family pays cash for vehicles.. do payments make me nervous? somewhat.. but they are part of life.. hell i doubt any1 on here is gonna pay cash for their house... the only things in my life i well ever finance are a house truck and horse trailer lol maybe a horse too but probably not... i live at home aint got bill #1.. make 12 dollars an hour at 40 hrs a week steady so i think i am good... not counting all of the other odds and ends i do to boost my income...
