bought my '06 Victory Red LBZ CC new, ordered it with the right options, bought at invoice -incentives at the time, now at 11,4xx miles, 9 pmts left

not my first new truck or first DMax but unless it gets wrecked or stolen I will never buy another new truck!

a new daily driver econo-car maybe but none of these 50K emission laden trucks.

I meant to say 2011 not 2001.
the frame and tranny is beefier, and they have upped the tow ratings, but my 2006 with a chip still had more grunt. Keep the 06!

I was planning on keeping my 06. 130k miles and only opened the hood to put new batteries in twice.

But, if they build this truck I might change my mind

yeah I would hold on or trade for newer used. I have a felling GM going to rededsign soon or they should. Their current design isnt bad but its four years old and needs a little something. But they will probably repower soon due to fords new engine.
