2013 CHEVY SILVERADO & 2011 Jeep liberty

Living in the Adirondacks, we felt it was important that all our vehicles have 4 wheel drive, however, with rising gas prices, well, it does make it a little more difficult!
See below for more info on our vehicles and some DIY videos.
2013 CHEVY SILVERADO
We purchased this used when it was 5 years old because we knew we would need it for our homestead and build and it could also pull our 18' camper a little easier than the jeep liberty (see the jeep below). It was one of the best decisions we have ever made! Having a truck to use for pulling the camper, the 5x8 utility, the box trailer, filling the back, picking up bricks and so much more!  The four wheel drive has been invaluable, and I also like it because Rich is able to do DIY repairs and upkeep.
2011 JEEP LIBERTY
This was purchased new and I really liked it then, and still like it now. We had a hitch for the trailer installed so this is able to pull all the same utility vehicles as the truck can, just not as easily because it has less power. It is fun to ride and we are keeping it because it is paid for and we know what we have. This is not as easy to do DIY on, but Rich manages when he has to.
