2013 GMC SRW 3500 cube van 4.8L 6 speed tranny 12ft box

How much was it? How do you like it? What kind of gas mileage? Im just thinking for the future. A used sprinter is out of the question from all the horror stories ive heard about them, and I don't see too many used transits a pms and theyre like 50k new, so im looking for more affordable alternatives. Thanks for the response, btw.

Hi Duncan, I'm getting lost in your videos, lol! I just subscribed to your YouTube channel; I'm Broccoli Man over there. I never have seen the Detroiter until just a few minutes ago thanks to you, but have heard it referred to many many times over the years.

Keep up the good work and I'll be seeing you on YT way more than here I'm sure. Safe travels!
