Extremely low mileage of 32, 829 resulted from only using truck to occasionally pull 20-foot aluminum gooseneck
trailer to haul cattle to livestock market (150 mile roundtrip) and for pulling new gooseneck and bumper hitch
trailers from Nebraska area. Trips were made to pull loads of antiques back to Washington. As we are retired, we
no longer need this big of a towing rig. I have ordered a new Silverado 1500.
This truck is in excellent condition both mechanically and cosmetically. It is a beauty! There are no issues. It
is very clean both inside and out. While not on the road, it has been housed in my heated garage.
The Blue Book retail value of this truck with all of its optional added features is $37, 070.
