Newbie with general questions

Hey there, I had posted on another forum about snow tires/studs for an H2 and got some answers, but this one seems a much more active forum.

Really I just will be buying this truck to help with my snowboarding addiction and it will pretty much only see snow/highway trips to the mountain, I got my tire quetions answered already, now just wondering about used purchases.

I'm wondering what the issues with buying a used one wtih higher miles, say 50-70k on it. I can't justify spending money on a newer one for my use. Do they wear out really fast? It seems to me that GM V8's pretty much last forever, but what about the rest of it? I don't see many posts about older rigs while searching the forums a bit, other than to stay away from 03's.

Any advice appreciated.
