Buying new truck

[Eric]

If you were to buy a truck today, what would it be?

 

[Wasch_24]

Toyota.
Either the Tundra or the Tacoma, with four doors.


BTW, never saw this thread coming. :hysterica

 

[N2Advnture]

full sized?

full sized?

Mid-sized (i.e the tacoma) or bigger; no or small cab.

Maybe because I said I was looking in getting a truck in the car accident thread? :bottle: :hammersma :stretchgr

I'd have to go with Ford. I bought a new Ranger 4WD in 1996 and it's still going strong at 205,000 miles. Other than oil changes, tires, brakes and things I've only had two repairs. The first was the alternator at 196,000 and the second was front wheel bearings just recently at 204,000. Great truck!

Tonka. :grin:
I've never had one fail to roll.

Stomper... The foam tires are easily replaceable. Good fuel efficiency too... just 2 AA battteries...

I have never owned a "real" truck but the reason I asked is because we use Chevy's at work for our delivery trucks. They take a MAJOR beating and all have over 200k miles w/ no problems at all (except for 1 that has this fancy high dollar engine - ie special order, not typical). They are all diesels and don't get turned off at all, all day, every day.

I will ask during lunch what the model is and how much the price range they are in.

i would either go with a new Chevy super duty or with the Nissan Titan.... Both are excellent trucks.. I have had three Nissan trucks and i have not been dissapointed once...

Turns out that all of our trucks are gasoline engines, Chevy Silverado 1500 (1/2ton). They range in mileage from 36k to 276k. No problems, according to the head of our delivery dept. We pay about $18k for 4x2.

Hit me up bro, I'm curious as to what kind of discounts I can get. These auto companies have been pushing their "buy our cars for the price of our employees" specials which, if I'm thinking right, is just a sales gimmick. :dunno:

No... you don't think that the car companies would be straight up with us? I am truly shocked!
