My brother just lucked into a new truck. He picked up a 2016 Silverado LT crew cab 4x4 w/ 18,000 miles for $28,000. It was some type of program car through the dealer - they had records on it. He has the remainder of the factory warranty and lifetime warranty from a huge, multi-location, multi-brand area dealer. It is the best kind of truck, no options - no frills w/ steel wheels & hubcaps and column shift. For being a step above base model it has a nice touch screen radio and digital information center in the cluster. The only 'bad' thing about it is the electronic 4x4 versus having a shift lever on the floor. I guess the dealer was eager to boost their numbers in the final weeks of the year. They had it tagged at $33,000 and were eager to deal.
The 5.3 in this thing is a $*#&@#& rocket. The truck rides a millions times better than my 2009 FX4 and has gobs of more power. But I also have like double the front bumper ground clearance and my cab sits a few inches higher. I am very tempted to find one for myself. I was going to start looking at 2013-2014 5.0 F150s but they are going to be in the price range that this 2016 was.
