Can't decide which Used truck to buy

Oakz1014B to Mechanic Advice@gearhead.townEnglish · 10 months ago

Having trouble deciding on the right used truck to buy. I’ve narrowed it down to a 2106 Silverado 1500 175000km or a 2015 GMC Sierra 173000 km. Both look really good and both seem to be driving well. The GMC had a transmission issue that has been apparently fixed. But it doesn’t show on the carfax. The dealer upfront about it. The Silverado didn’t have any serious issues. Both price at 19k. Which I know seems high but it’s about market value in my area. (Been searching for 3 months)… I know it’s probably hard to give me any advice as you guys would probably have to look at both vehicles to really tell. Just wondering if anyone can give me there 2 cents. Thanks

GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado are essentially the exact same truck, right? Same frame and drive train?

I’d go with whichever one has less rust and/or more comfy interior.
