71K on that truck is nothing.

I've owned 3.

Do routine maintenance and they will easily run for 200k.

They hold resale value very well and an LTZ is a fully loaded truck. Leather, dual zone AC, heated and cooled seats, damn things even got a heated steering wheel.

They actually get decent mileage. I go on runs up to the kids college fully loaded and can get 19-20 mpg at an average speed of 80mph which means you are hitting 100 at times and the thing is rock solid steady.

New that was an ~$85k vehicle not your base model $50k SUV.
