What to buy?!

The worst I've seen is up by old forge New York (snow mobile country). I have witnessed 1999-2005 gen silverados rotted halfway up to the middle of the doors....all the way around. And I really don't think those guys care much about it, but then again I've seen a person burying his truck in his yard up there too, so that might not mean much. I've seen a ton of second gens up there doing fine, but I haven't seen a first gen yet. Perhaps they have turned into top soil.....

 

Get the OR and for heavens sake get the tow package

 

Really though hard about the Inferno color but my wife said, absolutely not (she said not the way I drive, every cop in town will know where we live, lol). I do like silver though. I am thinking hard about the manual?

I thought it was a pretty good deal as well. I got the quote from a dealership in Milwaukee through the Costco program.

They started using a mixture of salt and water (brine) here in Wisconsin a few years ago. It's supposed to stick on the roads and melt snow and ice more effectively. Unfortunately, it's significantly more corrosive on metal then traditional rock salt/sand. Still debating on rust proofing vs fluid film.

 

Inferno DCSBOR in stick is what I really want next. It's such a rare/unique combo.That said, if they didn't make the orange, it would be the silver.

Try true car and pin dealers next to each other. That's what I did and I got my Truck for 30,xxx instead of 34,500. Also be willing to drive out of state for a better deal.

I think I'm going to keep doing my fluid film because it seems to be holding up pretty well, and it's cheap(meaning I can do it myself).If you do it, just make sure you don't get any on the exhaust, otherwise your car will smell like burning hair.

 

Change your name...

 

I too don't really know what to buy but I have some time. I need to drive my 2013 maxima for another year to get it paid off. I drive about 50k miles/year for work and they give me a $525 allowance and a has card. I got rid of my 2010 Ram too soon when gas was so high to help the company out, but won't do that again. I like all the bells and whistles my max has but hate the size. I'd love a full size truck again but I want to park in my garage and the ease of getting into general parking spaces. The ram was so easy to back in places but hated pulling in.

I LOVE the look of the OR and sports with black wheels and KO2 or the Cooper off roads.

That TRD Pro simplifies everything for me though. It's got everything I need out the gate, but at a premium.

Thinking I might drive it for 5 years 200,000 miles and hand it over to my kid who will be 11 this year. He'd be driving once I was done with it.

 

I wish I could drop that 5.7 from your Dodge into a Tacoma?! That truck would haul ass!
