I've always loved these trucks. I can get it for $16,500 on the road:

price seems high to me

NADA in excellent condition with those miles and options is almost $23,000 so I thought $16,500 on the road was pretty good. Is that 6.0 Vortec engine as good as they say it is?

that's some shitty mpg

Had an 02' back in the day. The engine runs strong.. drives nicely with awd. Have you checked out craigslist for different prices?

If you're looking for an Escalade get this one.

While I think those are kinda cool, since I love huge trucks, I gotta ask, with gas climbing with no end in sight, why in the hell would you want a giant vehicle that gets 13mpg??

And honestly, I'm starting to hate SUV's. They're all over the damn place, and hardly anyone who drives them actually needs all that space. And yes, I drive one too... I bought it in '00, and it runs good and is worth too little to sell (and will prob run damn near forever, it's a 97 Grand Cherokee with the 4.0 I6), so I keep it and use it as a winter beater, but the thing costs me way more to drive than the Bird, and I'd never buy another.
