So I've had Old Blue since 2008. It was a 2007 Silverado Crew. Been through a lot of life together, and only had ~96,000 miles on it. But it was getting rusty and tired. It was time for us to part ways. 
Got Rid of the Truck
- Thread starter Nick The Great
- Start date
But the good news is that I starting searching for a replacement one. Started out looking for a similar situation, gently used 2016 with low miles. Same guy at the dealer we got her Enclave from asked if I had considered new. Long story short, with the GM rebates and a "good customer" discount this 2017 was only $1200 over my price a the 2016.
So we made it work.
It is a 2017 LTZ in "Pepperdust" which is a new color for 2017. "Cocoa Dune" Leather Interior. Sunroof, cooled seats, all that fancy stuff. Only have put about 25 miles on it so far, but it seems like a fine truck so far.
I'm not in love with the garish wheels, and may change the bowties out. But all in all I'm quite pleased with it.

Badass! My truck is starting to rust above the rears too, I also am pushing 200K on the odometer.

Those wheels are hideous
Nice truck though
It was a lousy design by GM. It looked like a plug weld was used to join the sheets together, and maybe the weld too hot or sheet too thin. Started rusting in 3/4" circles and really snowballed over the last year or two.
Would have been a pricey fix, so I cut my losses now
Those wheels are hideous
Thanks. I can't decide whether the wheels look better or worse in person
