I would look at the '08s left on the dealer lots. They are giving huge discounts and they come with a lifetime powertrain warranty.

Id be willing to bet the used 06 is competitive pricewise with an 08 new off the lot.

Well I like mine (see signature). The Big Horn is just an SLT with a few extra things: big wheels, chrome billet grille, and I can't remember what else.

if i drive real good i can get 16ish mpg city.. but thats with a real light foot... normally i'll get about 14 mpg city, and i can easily get 17 or 18 on the interstate.

i've got an slt, has everything needed...
