I bought my 2017 GMC with the idea that it would be my last truck. SLE so it doesn't have crazy electronics, 5.3 LS, 6L80.
It's been trouble free @ 80K, but I'm assuming that I will soon want to replace the torque converter before the clutch comes apart. If you wait for it to fail, you are fully rebuilding the trans.
Also, DOD failures dog the motor. It looks like the best move with that is to wait until a lifter fails (which seems to happen on a large minority of DOD motors), then replace the cam and lifters with non-DOD parts. Not trivial, but my boss did his son-in-laws Yukon in a weekend.
As described, the REO is probably smaller than I want. If the off road capability is good enough, I might want one instead of a side by side to keep at camp.
