Colorado B.S. Thread

Now show us the rest of the truck

 

True. Can’t say I’ve herd much good from them.

In my head, before we wound move away from co I wound get Bryan to regear and lock the truck. Since I know he does a good job and dosent have the problems like others.

 

This was my dream. Had the arb locker and everything. Then life changed and we were out of Colorado before I knew it.

 

FYI for those paying xcel for energy (and still awake), they have various smart thermostats on cyber monday sales, just ordered a Nest Thermostat E for $93 after rebate and taxes (list is $169).

EDIT - still active as of this morning:

Bummer.. But at least you won't have a vehicle that'll never be fixed quite right.

Their was one of their older tahoes for sale in Golden a couple years ago.

 

Someone found the 2019 Rangers Fuel economy, time for Toyota to step it up.

The Ranger will only offer one engine in the U.S., a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder with 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque shifting through a ten-speed automatic. The mpg numbers on the Monroney: 21 city, 26 highway, 23 combined.

Toyota Reliability and resale > anything ford.

 

I like this mindset because it means I can sell my Tacoma for as much as I paid for it years and years ago

 

Holy Shiftiness, Batman!

 

Toyota step it up?

They won't change anything for another bunch of years, because they'll still outsell the competition.

 

My 6 speed Tacoma shifts too much..................


Ford=

 

Ford is just throwing turbos at everything.

According to the #, the ranger gets better fuel mileage (barly) with 4 cylinders while Tacoma has the v6 with more horsepower. Yet the ranger make more torque

Being what it may, the Tacoma is on par with the f150

 

Im curious to see how well it tows on the Ike Gauntlet. Being a Turbo 4 in the mountains it should pull pretty hard up it.

 

I'm sure the swap is clean but damn those prices are crazy

 

started poking around CL again now that I've sold the jeep.

Quality isn't cheap.

I saw that duramax listing this morning.

Interwebs say that 6.0 ford will be very expensive in the long run...99.5-00 seem to be the most reliable.

My roommate was a Jeep guy, then a diesel guy, now I got him in the Toyota world.

He drove an 06' F250 and did a lot too it. If you are looking for opinions Ford diesels he may be of help.


...if he ever makes an account

 

I was dabbling with the idea, but the added cost of purchase plus cost of fuel don't seem to make up for the non impressive real world gas mileage of the 99-00 7.3s. I wouldn't need to do much towing, so that perk doesn't help me.

So I'll probably stick with gas, until electric is an option.
