Just ordered a new 2014 Cruze Diesel. Rainforest Green with everything but the sun roof. Always have had diesel trucks, and currently drive a 2002 Duramax bought new, and several John Deere tractors. This will be our first diesel car and looking forward to it. ccasion14: It took a while to talk the wife into it.
I had a 2004.5 duramax with the LLY and had to do the headgaskets. After they were done I used for 2 years then sold my half to my dad because I was going back to school. Dad still loves it and doesn't know how he ever towed before with a gas truck. Only thing that hurt my feelings was the 500km to $140. In comparison I now go 650-700km in my cruze that only has 2700km on it for $65.
I will get another duramax some day. I would really like to find a nice LLY or LBZ regular cab long bed but around here those are still going for $18k plus.
Picked mine up for $6k as an ex work truck that a supervisor drove so it was barely worked. Reg cab long box, put 265/75/16 on it and leveling keys. Also put in a ppe tuner (just the economy one). I miss it as well but dont worry, the cruze will take your mind off your duramax with the tq/mpg combination
Now that I'm re-diesel-ized, my next truck will be the Colorado with the V6
diesel. Can't wait til they start building and selling it. Look out Tacoma, you're on your way out!
Thanks for all the positive comments. They ordered it from the factory today, and said I should see it around the first week of June. Should be some more good discounts by then as it's the end of the current model run. :clap::clap:
