Used to own a '95 a while back, good truck, friend of mine owns it now, no serious issues. What kind of engine? The 4.3 vortec has a few issues I don't like. What's she trading for?

I doubt the gas mileage will be much better...unless your Yukon has the 6.0 or 8.1 liter.

Agree with Randle about the fuel unless the Sonoma has a 4 cylinder, mine did.

I thought you only worked like a mile from home?

I do have the 6.0 and the thing is a thirsty beast. actually i'm about a mile, round trip to work but occasionally I play dad's taxi and the dam thing is a guzzler.

They're good trucks the 4.3 is a solid engine if it's the v6 model it's essentially a 350 v8 with two cylinders choped off. They aren't going to be great on gas. That being said I'd rather have the Yukon with the 6.0
