Hey All,
I am seriously thinking about trading in my 2007 CRV for a 1997 Cheyenne C1500. I really love driving my truck, so much that I probably drive it more than I should. I have decided I want to drive a truck every day and not just any truck. I want a cool ass Chevy truck that I can do all the things I do with my CRV. Details on the truck I have been keeping an eye on: 1997 extended cab C1500. 135,907 miles. Looks great in pics from the dealership and I have not seen it in person. Description reads that it drives like new. My CRV is at similar mileage and is my work horse(highway driving, an hour or more every day). The C1500 has been listed since June 2023 and has come down in price several times. Compared to the CRV it seems the Chevy can do everything the CRV can do and more. Both have: seating for 5, a hitch, plenty of room for storage(more in the truck), mid-life low mileage. They are a decade apart however. I think driving this as a daily would greatly curb me wanting to put unnecessary miles on my square and still serve the purpose of work/family transport. I have never driven or had an OBS GM truck besides my first ride ever a 1988 GMC Safari van, OBS-ish I guess. Please anyone with feed back on these trucks, let me know specific pros, cons or any details that might help sway my decision. Thanks in advance!
