Where abouts are you in texas??
Are you interested on a 2008 model?? or what price range are you looking to stay in??

By the way, the LBZ is only in 2006.5-2007. Something to remember, I believe the 04-06.5 is the LLY. There are two different generations of the LLY as well. So if she demands the LBZ (why not?), then that narrows your search even more. I know in the area I'm in sun roofs on diesels were a pretty rare option, as with cab lights on an LT2 or higher, though every dealer has certain tastes, just happens all the ones around here were anti sunroof :(

ya if you find a truck with a sunroof in texas you will be lucky i don't know to many that get that option i mostly see it on the F-150 and i know you don't want one of those hey what the problem with 1000 miles you get to drive it a bit and get use to it

I am in DFW area.
I didn't realize sunroof's were that rare. We have one in our tahoe and the wife really really wants one....it's not that big of a deal to me.
Not really looking for the new body style. I Just like the classic style better. Isn't the LBZ - the most sought after w/ the 6 speed allision? Still learning...
Looking to spend 30~35K for a low miles perfect...
Thanks for the info...
