Not an easy life, but it's probably up to the challenge. I guess the upside is that people towing horse trailers probably don't want to end up broken down on the side of the road, so it probably *has* been maintained. Interesting that with such credentials it's still available... might just be a bad location. If you go check it out you should swing by and grab the Tech 2.
I'm wondering if the barn doors are a turn-off for people. Maybe just the age. Interestingly, the only 2500s on c/l at the moment are '01s.
I have *usually* read that people prefer the barn doors, but I may be reading biased forums. ;) I preferred the barn doors myself, but couldn't find any when I was looking. Retrospectively, I made the right call - the tailgate is way more convenient most of the time. :D
Keep in mind that the GMT800s got a lift gate, rather than a tail gate. That seems to muddy the waters a little bit.
Ah, yeah, true. I would DEFINITELY not choose that. Barn doors for sure. I've turned out to like the tail gate because it's easy to pop the glass and put stuff in back. I would be far less fond if access to the back required lifting a giant door. It's a clearance issue, not an effort issue. I wouldn't be enough for me to summarily turn down an otherwise good truck, but still a consideration.
After many field trips with our fleet of liftgate-having SUVs, I like the portable shade/umbrella aspect of them. :D
But yeah, unlikely to make or break a truck in this scenario.
I think my unicorn is still an 03+ with the 6-liter. *twiddle*
I guess this is one situation where the Expedition has the right answer...
Expeditions are also liftgate. The Excursion did the weird hybrid with a top half that lifted and a bottom half that were barn doors.
They rattle like a mother....Quote:
