My new vehicle

I work at an RV dealership as a salesman and every once in a while we will trade in a vehicle or motorcycle or something that isn't an RV lol. I've been thinking about getting a truck to tow my toys if the right one came along at the right price, and my criteria were either a Sierra/Silverado with a 6.2 and not too basic with lower mileage or a Tundra double cab or crewmax in either a limited or rock warrior edition. Earlier in the summer we traded in an 09 Silverado 2500 HD extended cab with 29k miles and pretty decent condition that I considered, but it was maroon with black plastic fenders and was kind of "farmer'd out" with chrome bed rails and was really basic, so I passed.

Well a couple weeks ago we traded in a 2011 Toyota Tundra double cab Rock Warrior edition in white with 30k miles, with one tiny dent and small paint chip being the only thing I could find that wasn't perfect. Has a back-up camera, retractable bed cover, spray in bed liner, running boards (took them off already), brand new tires (need to swap so white walls aren't showing), Viper alarm and car starter, and was very well taken care of. I drove it home a few days and decided to buy it! Got into it really right since I pretty much paid what we got it for. I've had it just over a week now and really enjoy it for a truck. It will haul my bike and tow my car and my sled wherever I wanna take em, so I'm set! Here's a few pictures.

good buy.

I wish those came in Diesels, which I heard a rumor they were going to put a 5 cylinder diesel in them.

Thanks guys, I'm really liking it! It seems to pull pretty decently just from pulling the little 16' enclosed bike trailer in the pic and moving our 27' enclosed snowmobile trailer around a bit at the lake. May pull my car to the track next week and test that out.

The bank booked it out at $29,700, so these seem to hold their value pretty well!

You know whats funny? I'll have to take a picture of the outside view of our shop when everyone is there when the cars are parked inside. You will see 3 black GM's (2010 Silverado 6.2, 2011 Sierra 6.2, and 2013 Sierra Denali) and 2 white Tundra's (My 2011 and my friend Darin's 2008 Tundra crewmax Limited)

Thank ya sir. I'll rock it like this for a while, but I think I'll end up swapping the tires around to hide the white. If the truck was any other color I would have done it already for sure.

Nice! I know where a 4 door 96 Superduty with 46k miles can be had. I am debating pulling the trigger and unloaded the camry, buying it and another SS.
