Chevy 8.1 truck with low miles?
This is not a for sale add, not my truck and don’t even know the guy, but for anyone looking, there’s one with 70kmiles for sale on Seattle Craigslist right now. Ext cab 4wd. Not many of these aroun...

We need to consider how OFTEN the truck is used. I bought a 1999 Ram 2500 V10 with camper pkg (dually springs), 100k miles, for around $3k US.
It gets 11 mpg, but has 3k lbs payload, and cost me barely anything in maintenance. I drive it 2000 miles a year at most, mostly in the bush while hauling a Bigfoot. Sits 9 months of the year. This is what the old big gassers are good for - occasional heavy hauling.
If you need the truck day in day out, or tow 10k+ lbs, then get a modern diesel or the 6.4Hemi/6.6 GM/7.3 Ford with 8/10 spd transmissions.
