96-98, 99-02 or 10-13 Silverado pickups

What years do you prefer? I like the late 90's 98 and 99... but I'm thinking I would be safer in a 10-13 with side air bags.
 
For what? You're talking massive feature, performance and price differences here.
 
Yep kinda vague. Also what is up with the year choices.


I gonna guess for a daily driver. With that said I would pick the GMT800 hands down. I prefer the '03 & up.

GMT400 Vortec engines require more maintenance than a LS style engine. The trucks are old enough now that most will require a lot of little parts to keep or make nice, ie nickle & dime you to death.


GMT900's body style & interior hasn't grown on me yet & the price is still too high.
 
A daily driver truck. The k5 would see the off road use. I'm having a hard time deciding. A big factor to me is saftey... but I also would like it durable.
 
99-07. Still new enough to find some good deals on well maintained ones, still easy to work on. LS power, easy to get parts for.
 
I do like my GMT400 platform, but like said they are getting hard to find in nice shape/with low miles.

Once my 97 is worn out for good, I doubt Ill be able to find a mint 96-98 with ease. Prob will step up to an 07+ style.
 
You need 99-07 category.

I like the 95-99 old body. But they dont handle as good at the 99+ new body.

If I had my choice it would be a 07 dmax with a LBZ or an SS Silverado
