My old one was a '99 Z-71...looked the same as yours except mine was all Dark Carmine...no two tone....and no topper on the back, just a dark gray spray in bedliner.
But, with our two kids getting bigger and the third one on the way (at the time) it was time to upgrade...so, we traded in the '99 (with only 38K on it) for the '06 Crew Cab...it's Graphite Blue, Z-71, with the lighter gray interior. I loved my old one....I like the current one even more. It only has 20 more horses, gets about 1.5-2 mpg more, feels more comfortable, and I have a sunroof in this one. The dash is a little nicer (same as my '03 Tahoe). There are a couple things missing that I wish it had. The adjustable pedals...not a big deal for me, but they really help my wife...we have them in the Tahoe. Also, the seats don't go back to their respective positions when the button on the fob is pressed (like the Tahoe does), you actually have to press the button on the door panel.
Minor things aside, the truck is real nice. I've driven the current Fords and ridden in the current Dodges and I like my Chevy far better. The Dodge with the Hemi has more power, but I'm not sure it's any faster than mine and it gets far worse mileage.
I wouldn't trade mine in on any of the other brands....I sort of wish I had waited for the '07 Sierra, but I got a great deal on this one and was able to pay cash for it. That wouldn't have happened with an '07.
