I've had good luck with my 05 Sierra through its lease. If the buyout was around $3000 less, I'd buy it but I just signed the papers this afternoon for a new 08. This is what I'm picking up tomorrow

Sounds like a nice truck. I hope you don't regret getting rid of your 2005 like I have getting rid of my 2004 to purchase my 2008.

Looking to pick up a dmax....where did you turn yours in?

My 05 was a lease so I'm not sure if the dealer is going to keep the truck or send it to auction. If you are interested, call the dealer and speak with Kevin Eaton in sales.

My 05 was very well taken care of and has less than 37,000 miles.

congrats: all the bells and whistles the 08's have are nice the dual alts, the brk cont,the heated washer fluid. but boy my mileage blows i miss my 03 i do love the interior or "cockpit" of the 08 but,,,,, i dunno pro's and cons, diesel is $368.00-$3.75 here in wis ,what is it there ?

It's around $3.59 but I pass by this station on the highway that is always high and he's at $3.94

I received the truck last night. Very nice and has alot of new features. The dealer sent someone to go pick the truck upand it was roughly 240 miles. I'm assuming 95% was highway. DIC economy read 9.4 mpg. I drove it around town last night and with the 20 miles I put on it, it climbed up to 9.9mpg. Think whoever drove it back home rhomped on it?

Idle time kills MPG-------------I would guess it was idled for some time!!!

That's about par for the course, it's a hard pill to swallow but better get used to lousy fuel mileage.

That baby in LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!!!!!

fully warmed up, I took her for a 30 mile jaunt this morning and according to fuel used and trip meter, she averaged 18.2 at roughly 65mph... Not bad:). Hopefully breaking it in will increase a bit and summer grade fuel should help.

Hand calculations are the real way to check your mileage...lol.

beautiful truck! I agree that it looks loonnngg! Congats on your purchase.

nice truck! long bed, crew cabs look great!
