- 370
Looking to the group for general consensus or advice if others went thru the same decision of put money into a 360 or move on
Here is my dilemma .. 05' SWB TB LT 4x4 4.2L Bought in 2015 with 85K miles on the clock. Now have over 240k. (would have more if not for pandemic) Drive 40 miles each way for work as well as weekend stuff. Took several 1100 mile trips to Maine and or Florida. Truck not beat on.
Everything works but ..
This is my 2nd 360 and I really like the platform as it suits my needs and is big enough. And overall, the truck does not owe me a dime. Do I drop some money into it and do like a major overhaul ( shocks, full suspension, alternator and so on) , or do I look for good / well maintained like an 09 model?
Thoughts ?
