What to buy

I am looking to buy myself a new truck but I am stuck between a few trucks and I was hoping to get some input in what you guys/gals, think i should get. First off a 1996 GMC sierra with SLT 5.7L V8, INCLUDES LEATHER,, Z-71, AUTO TRANS it has 75000 miles extra cab/ Next is a 1999 GMC sierra, SLE 5.3 V8 AUTO TRANS w/ 80,000 Miles. extra cab.
I am going to be taking it to college 250 miles away to college so i need a reliable truck. I also would like to know which one is faster! :biggrin:
Thanks a million!

go for the 96. it has less miles, bigger engine, and the slt package...
