Truckless

Bought this 2014 GMC Sierra 2500HD (turbo diesel Duramax) new in November 2013; after driving it about 35,700 miles, including towing my Airstream about 10,000 miles, I sold it today to EchoPark in Highlands Ranch. Subtracting the sale from purchase price, my average daily ownership cost (not including insurance, fuel, and maintenance) was about $21. To put this in perspective, I'm now renting a Toyota Camry (weekly rate) for about $29/day. Of course the fuel cost for this beast was not insignificant (I estimate $7-7.5k) but maintenance was just routine (e.g., oil/filter change, etc.). No problems during ownership and nothing but normal maintenance; I never replaced brakes or tires. For towing, I highly recommend this GMC truck.

No home, no truck, no iPads, and a lot fewer household possessions; I'm feeling very light these days:)
