Ya I’d really like the heated seats and remote start but those are things I can do on my own as well. I’ll probavky get clazzios and do heated seats with that. All said I got them to agree on 32900 for a 2017 with 19k miles and 22500 on my tacoma which is a 2015 that just flipped 66k miles. I think it’s a pretty fair deal

 

Brand new for a nearly identical truck you'd be at about $36k, so consider that. That's with current incentives and if you got one at invoice, which shouldn't be hard at all. Mine was a special order and I got it $100 over invoice. Invoice is about 93% of MSRP on F-150s.

EDIT: Actually, you'd be a little under $36k, there's a $500 military discount.

Also, the 2018 2.7s have the 10-speed which is a nice plus. About 1 MPG over the 6 speed.

 

So Less the Less items...

 

I saw one of the new Doge Rams in person today and they’re a contender as well...

On my 2013, remote start was really easy to add and relatively cheap. It was just a plug in module and then you had to have the dealer activate it or use ForScan. 12voltsolutions has a lot of options also.

 

Daytona in the mix as well......

 

I have considered new as well

Was wondering how much better the 10 speed tranny was over the 6 speed

I’ve heard it’s pretty simple to add. Definitely look into 12volt thanks

 

Also it has the added plus of already having a tonneau cover. Not much of a plus but a little bonus

 

Since everyone is talking full size trucks, my father's friend just bought a 2014 Tundra, and I just went with my dad to go look at it/drive it, these new Tundras are nice! I have only sat in them at auto shows, it was nice to finally drive one. He just got it about a week ago (got rid of a Ford Fusion with a bad trans), and it only has 27k miles on it. Here is a pic:

 

I sat in one of the new Tundras with the 1794 package at the auto show and it was one of the nicest interiors there.

 

I doubt there's a significant advantage in daily driving, but it is awesome for towing. There are so many ratios that it always has a good gear to use.

It's actually kind of amusing, because in tow haul it will go through every gear. With a heavy load, you pretty much just hear whistling turbos and it shifting every few MPH. It sounds kind of like a little tractor trailer truck.

That, and that 2.7 makes great power down low. With 6400 lbs behind it I was climbing steep roads at under 2000 RPM in 8th (the first of three overdrive gears) no problem.

 

This one is just an SR5/TRD OffRoad, with cloth seats, but it was still extremely comfortable.

 

I’m pretty excited about it think I’m going to go for this one

 

@WSW3 @Blais03 @ALI3N_123 Hey guys I'm definitely going to get rid of the TRD skid (and splash pan one if you want that too...). I'll let it go for cheap so just make an offer or I'd probably take a straight up trade (if I like whatcha got) or trade with cash etc. Just make an offer in a PM. Pulling it off in a day or so, so I can do an official post in the NE BST thread and clean it up a bit and make it official and give details.

Stuff I'm looking for in trade:
Ditch Brackets
TRD OR tow hook
Bug deflector (good shape, all hardware)
RokBlokz

small stuff of that nature...

 

Think I’m all set, got plans to make one soon. Thanks for keeping me in mind.

 

Morning all. Happy Monday...

 

It's monday... and it's fucking freezing here (Literally half the temperature that I have been in for the last 3 weeks.)

 

I was thinking that it's been a really nice temperature the last couple of days...

 

Yes, finally it's getting nice out. If we can stay below 60f for the duration it would be great.

 

Had to put the heat on in the car on my way here. Although If I didn't have a stomach ache when I was going to leave I probably would have ended up leaving on 2 wheels.

 

Got to break in these new jeans I bought!
