So I got tired of the gray truck and my priorities and tastes changed since I bought the gray truck. I wanted something I could daily and still be practical for work, but the truck was just too beat up to even get excited about.

I searched for a few months for a low mileage V8 RCSB with power accessories, and finally found one in Indiana. I spoke to the guy for a few minutes and bought it sight unseen and had it shipped to Texas. Paid $13,900 for it, or $14,500 total with shipping.

Details: 2007 classic with 44k miles, 5.3L, 2wd, power windows and locks, dark charcoal interior, flex fuel. It was owned by an older guy in his 70s who seemed to take very good care of it.
