Hello, I'm Looking to get out of my old Suburban. And into a used Chevy 2WD
truck. Primarily because I can't move things  upright, I need a ladder rack
. And the poor gas mileage. And its hitting 200,000 miles. Which pickup
truck year is the easiest to maintain and drive. And do rotables such as
brakes , tune-ups , ect.    I would be  using it for hauling building
materials or camping. And as a backup vehicle . And putting about 2500 miles
on it a year. Mostly 90-160 mile trips. Very little around town. And then it
would  sit for  up to four  months at a time. And recommendations. Thanks

Yeah, I can't do that in my Avalanche.

Oh, wait - yes I can and have....and it is locked and water proof.

Nevermind.

Figure this - '80somethign to mid '90something you have the 5.7L throttle
body engine. Starting around '99 or '00 you have the 5.3L injection engine
or the 4.8L injection engine.

If you want a big block, you've got a few choices.

All are rock solid.
