Newbie - Looking to buy

Post by reg »

I've been looking at a GMC for a while - they currently offer a lot of 'truck for your buck'.

I am particularly taken with the 'closed cab' versions.

Is there an easy reference to the advantages/disadvantages with these versions?

If no 'easy guide' available then fire away with your thoughts.

Cheers, REG

Hi Reg,

I have a an open cab. Advantages are:

- I can fit it into a garage with a 7' door (windshield folds down).

- More room in the cab. (I am 6'3", so the added room is a plus)

- Nicer to drive in warm weather.

Have never owned the closed cab version, but from what I hear people who have them say:

- Has more of a classic WWII truck look.

- Can close off the cab to people, varmints (during storage) etc.

- Nicer to drive in inclement weather.

I'm sure other people will have additional thoughts on this.

Best Regards...
